amount of damage in excess of the retail purchase price of the product under any circumstances. Incidental

and consequential damages are specifically excluded from coverage under this warranty.
This product is not intended for commercial use. This warranty does not apply to accessories or damage to

but less than five years from the purchase date, manufacturer will repair the unit or, at its option, replace it

free of charge.
If the unit is repaired, new or reconditioned replacement parts may be used, at manufacturer’s option. A
