CFM Corporation

LIMITED LIFETIME Warranty

   For Dutchwest Non-Catalytic Wood Stove

Limited Lifetime Warranty

CFM Corporation warrants that all refractory brick and 
material used in this product will be warranted against 
deterioration not resulting from physical damage or 
overloading of the woodstove for the lifetime of this 
product. This coverage includes  the components of 
the EverBurn System: “shoe, fountain, and fireback. 
Coverage is provided only to the original purchaser.

Limited 3 Year Warranty

All cast iron parts are warranted for a period of three 
years against breakage, cracking or burn-through.

Limited 1 Year Warranty

The following parts of the woodburning stove are 
warranted to be free of defects in material and work-
manship for a period of one year from the date you 
receive it:  The handles, glass door panels, door 
gasketing and porcelain finish. Any of these items 
found to be defective will be repaired or replaced at 
no charge, upon the return of the part with postage 
prepaid to a Dutchwest Authorized Dealer.
Any parts repaired or replaced during the limited 
warranty period will be warranted under the terms 
of the limited warranty for a period not to exceed the 
remaining term of the original limited warranty or six 
(6) months, whichever is longer.

Exclusions & Limitations

1.  This warranty is non-transferable.
2.  This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove.  

Misuse includes overfiring, which will result if the stove 
is used in such a manner as to cause one or more of 
the plates to glow red. Overfiring can be identified later 
by warped plates and areas where the paint pigment 
has burned off. Overfiring in enamel stoves is identi-
fied by bubbling, cracking, chipping and discoloration 
of the porcelain enamel finish. CFM Corporation offers 
no warranty on chipping of enamel surfaces. Inspect 
your woodburning stove prior to accepting it for any 
damage to the enamel.

3.  This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove as 

described in the Owners Guide, nor does it cover a 
stove which has been modified unless authorized by a 
CFM Corporation representative in writing. This war-
ranty does not cover damage to the stove caused by 
burning salt saturated wood, chemically treated wood, 
or any fuel not recommended in the Owners Guide.

4.  This warranty does not cover a stove repaired by 

someone other than a Dutchwest Authorized Dealer.

5.  Damage to the unit while in transit is not covered by 

this warranty but is subject to a claim against the com-
mon carrier. Contact the Dutchwest Authorized Dealer 
from whom you purchased your stove or CFM Cor-
poration if the purchase was direct.  (Do not operate 
the stove as this may negate the ability to process the 
claim with the carrier).

6.  Claims are not valid where the installation does not 

conform to local building and fire codes or, in their ab-
sence, to the recommendations in our Owners Guide.

7.  The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-

humidity environment, can be corrosive to the porce-
lain enamel finish. These conditions can cause rusting 
of the cast iron beneath the porcelain enamel finish, 
which will cause the porcelain enamel finish to flake 
off.  This warranty does not cover damage caused by 
a salt air or high-humidity environment.

8.  CFM Corporation shall have no obligation to enhance 

or update any unit once manufactured.  

IN NO EVENT SHALL CFM CORPORATION BE LIABLE 
FOR INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, 
ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN 
WARRANTY.  THIS WARRANTY SUPERCEDES ALL 
OTHER ORAL OR WRITTEN WARRANTIES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of 
incidental and consequential damages or limitations on 
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limi-
tations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you 
specific rights and you may have other rights, which vary 
from state to state.

How to Obtain Service

If a defect is noted within the warranty period, the 
customer should contact a Dutchwest Authorized Dealer 
or CFM Corporation if the purchase was direct with the 
following information:
1.  Name, address, and telephone number of the pur-

chaser

2.  Date of Purchase.
3.  Serial number from the label on the back
4.  Nature of the defect or damage.
5.  Any relevant information or circumstances, e.g., instal-

lation, mode of operation when defect was noted.

A warranty claim will then start in process. CFM Corpo-
ration reserves the right to withhold final approval of a 
warranty claim pending a visual inspection of the defect 
by authorized representatives.
