Ventilation Fan/light
(the “Fan”) that your Fan (excluding lamps/bulbs) will be materially free
from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the date of
original purchase. The warranty on the lamps/bulbs provided with the Fan is one (1) year and
does not cover lamp/bulb breakage. This warranty does not cover accessories, such as speed

The limited warranty period for replacement parts, and for Fans repaired or replaced under this
limited warranty, shall continue for the remainder of the original warranty period.
NO OTHER WARRANTIES: THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NUTONE DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES
ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES, AND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES
IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS
THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED
WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Fan is for the sole purpose of
identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.
REMEDY: During the applicable limited warranty period, NuTone will, at its option, provide
replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Fan or part thereof, to the extent
NuTone finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty. NuTone will ship the
repaired or replaced Fan or replacement parts to you at no charge. You are responsible for all
costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other freight charges incurred in the
shipment of the Fan or part to NuTone. This warranty does not cover (a) normal maintenance
and service, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) any Fans or parts which have been subject to misuse,
abuse, abnormal usage, negligence, accident, improper or insufficient maintenance, storage or
repair (other than repair by NuTone), (d) damage caused by faulty installation, or installation
or use contrary to recommendations or instructions, (e) any Fan that has been moved from
its original point of installation, (f) damage caused by environmental or natural elements,
(g) damage in transit, (h) natural wear of finish, (i) Fans in commercial or nonresidential use, or

EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES: NUTONE’S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS,
OR REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT NUTONE’S OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND NUTONE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
OBLIGATION. NUTONE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE FAN, ITS USE OR
PERFORMANCE. Incidental damages include but are not limited to such damages as loss of
time and loss of use. Consequential damages include but are not limited to the cost of repairing
or replacing other property which was damaged if the Fan does not work properly.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and is not transferable from the original consumer
purchaser.
NUTONE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR TO ANYONE CLAIMING UNDER YOU, FOR ANY
OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, OBLIGATIONS

NUTONE’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE.
This warranty covers only replacement or repair of defective Fans or parts thereof at NuTone’s
main facility and does not include the cost of field service travel and living expenses.
Any assistance NuTone provides to or procures for you outside the terms, limitations or
exclusions of this limited warranty will not constitute a waiver of such terms, limitations or
exclusions, nor will such assistance extend or revive the warranty.
NuTone will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you in repairing or replacing any
defective Fan, except for those incurred with NuTone’s prior written permission.
