Limited Warranty

TEMCO Fireplace Products Vent-Free Gas Fireplaces

This warranty is limited to TEMCO Fireplace Products
Vent-Free Gas Logs & Fireplaces (henceforth, Product)
manufactured by TEMCO Fireplace Products. (hence-
forth, TEMCO).

ONE YEAR WARRANTY

TEMCO warrants all components of the Product to be
free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period
of one year from the date of installation, with the excep-
tion of the warranty on logs and ember base. If, by the
sole determination of TEMCO, any component covered
under this warranty is found to be defective, TEMCO will,
at its option, repair or replace the defective component at
no charge and will pay labor cost incurred as specified in
the current TEMCO Labor Allowance Schedule, 71313. If
TEMCO determines replacement or repair is not eco-
nomically practical, TEMCO will, at its option, refund the
purchase price of the Product. Date of installation and
purchase price must be verified by acceptable proof of
purchase prior to warranty action.

This warranty covers only parts and labor as provided
above. In no case shall TEMCO be responsible for
materials, components or construction which are not
manufactured or supplied by TEMCO, or the labor
necessary to install, repair or remove such materials,
components or construction.

FIVE YEAR WARRANTY

TEMCO warrants the ceramic fiber and refractory compo-
nents and burners originally packed with the product to
be free of defects in material and workmanship for a
period of five (5) years from the date of installation, with
the exception of breakage. If any ceramic components or
refractory components are broken, such breakage must
be reported as a Warranty Claim at the time of installa-
tion. Breakage claims arising after the initial installation
will not be covered under any part of this warranty.
Periodic maintenance must have been performed.

QUALIFICATIONS

For the above warranties to apply:

The Product must be installed by a qualified installer;
strictly in accordance with TEMCO installation
instructions, and in compliance with local codes and
ordinances. 
The logs must be placed strictly in accor-
dance with the arrangement described in the installation
instructions.

The Product must be operated and maintained according
to the instructions furnished. Alteration of the Product
in any way is prohibited and voids any and all war-
ranties. Removal of the data plate alters the Products
and voids the warranty.

The installer must have completed the installation
and Startup Checklist, a copy of which must be
submitted along with proof of purchase, to obtain
prior approval for warranty repair or replacement and
to affect a warranty claim. The Checklist is found on
Pages 18 and 19 of this manual.

The limited warranty applies only to the original owner of
the Product or the original owner of the dwelling in which
the Product was installed. Use of any parts other than
genuine factory provided replacement parts shall void
this warranty.

Limitations

TEMCO is not responsible for any incidental or conse-
quential  damages caused by possible defects in the
Product. The duration of any implied warranty with
respect to the Product is limited to the duration of the
foregoing warranties.

Some states and provinces do not allow exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages or limits on the
duration of implied warranties, so these limitations may
not apply to you.

Warranty Fulfillment

Claims require specific agreement and consent from
TEMCO Technical Services prior to performing any
warranty repair or replacement. TEMCO reserves the
right to investigate any and all warranty claims.
 The
appliance must not be removed prior to such investiga-
tion other than on direction from TEMCO.

Please provide the following information when communi-
cating with TEMCO Technical Services, its Dealers or
Distributors regarding service under this warranty.

TEMCO reserves the right to decide on the method of
settlement (if any). This limited warranty is given in lieu of
any other expressed or implied warranty, and supersedes
all other TEMCO Product warranties.
