Warranty 

Information 

CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED WARRANTY:

EXTENT OF COVERAGE: This warranty covers Shelter Furnaces SF4200, sold in the United States and Canada. This warranty is void if 

the Shelter Furnace is not installed, maintained, and operated in accordance with the instructions in the owner’s manual and local codes.  

Warranty is also null and void if the unit is used to burn materials for which the unit is not certified by the EPA. This warranty applies to 

the original purchaser/owner of the Shelter Furnace and is not transferable.  Replacement or repair parts are warrantied for the remaining 

period of the original warranty.

All warranty claims must include: 

• Date of purchase
• Model and serial number
• Proof of purchase – dated invoice, bill of sale, cancelled check or payment record
• Name and address of the dealer where the unit was purchased

Shelter Furnace warranties the cast iron grates and firebox to be free of defects in material and workmanship for five years to the original 

purchaser. Intentional misuse or abuse causing burn through of the cast iron components voids all warranties.  Over firing the furnace will 

cause the front face to crack and is not covered by the warranty.  Furthermore, some cosmetic deterioration can be expected as the 

result of normal operation, therefore the physical appearance is not guaranteed to remain unchanged.  The manufacturer warranties all 

electrical components for 1 year and the draft blower and distribution motor for 

1

 year.  Please be advised that the firebrick and door 

gaskets are excluded from this warranty.

In order to exercise the aforementioned warranty, a certified professional must determine the appliance/part to be defective.  He or she 

must submit a written statement to Shelter Furnace detailing an assessment of the problem.  This assessment MUST be accompanied by 

substantiating proof of purchase (dated invoice, bill of sale, cancelled check, or payment record), model and serial number.  Shelter 

Furnace will then authorize repair or replacement appropriate to the submitted claim.  Shelter Furnace will not honor expenses incurred 

from any action that was not expressly consented to in writing.  The owner is hereby notified that he or she will be obligated to assume 

liability for removal, reinstallation, shipping, and labor costs involved in servicing/repairing or replacing the part or unit.  The merchandise 

in question must be shipped via PREPAID FREIGHT to Shelter Furnace.  Shelter Furnace will return the repaired or replacement part to 

the purchaser on a FREIGHT COLLECT basis.

This warranty will be rendered null and void if this part/unit exhibits symptoms of obvious over-firing, deliberate abuse or negligence, 

improper installation, or is used for commercial purposes.

Finally, Shelter Furnace will not be responsible for any claim not stated in our warranty nor does any implied warranty extend beyond the 

limits stated above.

If you are unable to receive satisfactory service, please contact Shelter Furnace with all pertinent information including daytime phone 

number and a detailed description of the type of problem you are having.  Shelter Furnace technical service will contact you as soon as 

possible.  Call 1-800-875-4788 or mail information to: Shelter Furnace, 10950 Linpage Place, Saint Louis, MO  63132.
