defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase, subject 
to the following conditions and limitations.

cleaned with Lemon oil only.

 

Brass cleaners cannot be used.  Mortar 

mix and masonry cleaners may corrode the brass finish.  The Company 
will not be responsible for, nor will it warrant any brass parts which are 
damaged by external chemicals or down draft conditions.
GAS VALVES: Gas valves are covered for a period of one year

mechanical components of the burner assembly are covered for one 
year. All steel tube burners are warranted for one year.
