LIMITATION ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES
Implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability imposed
on the sale of this heater under state law are limited to one year duration
for the heater or any of its parts. Some states do not allow limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not
apply to you.
CLAIM PROCEDURE

the heater, or with any other dealer handling the warrantor’s products.

WARRANTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE BY VIRTUE OF THIS WARRANTY
OR OTHERWISE FOR DAMAGE TO ANY PERSONS OR PROPERTY,

rights which vary from state to state. Should governmental regulations or
industry standards prohibit the Manufacturer from furnishing a comparable
model replacement under this warranty, the Owner will be furnished with

regulations and industry standards. A supplementary fee may be assessed
to cover the additional cost associated with the changes made to meet
applicable regulations and standards.
