VALCOURT LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY 

 

The warranty of the manufacturer extends only to the original consumer purchaser and is not transferable. This warranty covers brand 
new products only, which have not been altered, modified nor repaired since shipment from factory. Products covered under this 
warranty must have been manufactured after the revision date indicated below. Proof of purchase (dated bill of sale), model name and 
serial number must be supplied when making any warranty claim to your VALCOURT dealer.   

This warranty applies to normal residential use only.  Damages caused by misuse, abuse, improper installation, lack of 
maintenance, over firing, negligence, accident during transportation, power failures, downdrafts, or venting problems are not 
covered by this warranty. 

This warranty does not cover any scratch, corrosion, warping, or discoloration caused by over firing, abrasives or chemical cleaners.
