venting configurations, adjoining trees or buildings, adverse wind conditions or unusual environmental factors and conditions that affect the operation of the unit.

This 20 Year Limited Warranty covers only parts and labor as provided herein. In no case shall IHP be responsible for materials, components or construction, which are not

Limited Warranty are in addition to and not a modification of or subtraction from any statutory warranties and other rights and remedies provided by law.
