Limited 3 Year Warranty
Vermont Castings Group warrants that this wood burning stove will
be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of three
years from the date you receive it, except that the catalyst, thermostat
assembly, handles, glass door panels, cement, and gasketing shall
be warranted as described below.
Vermont Castings Group will repair or replace, at its option, any part found
to be defective upon inspection by a Vermont Castings, Authorized Dealer.
The customer must return the defective part or the stove, with shipping
prepaid, to the Authorized Dealer or pay for any Authorized Dealer in-home
travel fees or service charges for in-home repair work. It is the dealer’s
option whether the repair work will be done in the customer’s home or
in the dealer’s shop. If, upon inspection, the damage is found to be the
fault of the manufacturer, repairs will be authorized at no charge to the
customer for parts and/or labor.
Any wood burning stove or part thereof that is 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.
Limited 1 Year Warranty
The following parts of the wood burning stove are warranted to be free
of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from
the date you receive it: The thermostat assembly, handles, glass door
panels, cement, and gasketing. 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 Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer.
Any part 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.
Limited Catalyst Warranty
The catalyst will be warranted for a six year period as follows: If the
original catalyst or a replacement catalyst proves defective or ceases to
maintain 70% of its particulate emission reduction activity (as measured
by an approved testing procedure) within 24 months from the date the
stove is received, the catalyst itself will be replaced free.
From 25 - 72 months a pro-rated credit will be allowed against a replace-
ment catalyst and the cost of labor necessary for its installation at the
time of replacement.
For stove purchases made after June 30, 1990, a third year
(25 - 36 months) of no charge replacement will be made when combus-
tor failure is due to thermal degradation of the substrate (crumbling of
ceramic material). The customer must pay for any in-home travel fees,
service charges, or transportation costs for returning the stove to the
Authorized Dealer.

catalyst under the terms of this limited warranty:

4. Any relevant information or circumstances regarding determination

Exclusions & Limitations
1. This warranty is transferable; however, proof of original retail pur-
chase is required.
2. This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove. Misuse includes
overfi ring which will result if the stove is used in such a manner as
to cause one or more of the plates to glow red. Overfi ring can be
identifi ed later by warped plates and areas where the paint pigment
has burned off. Overfi ring in enamel fi replaces is identifi ed by bub-
bling, cracking, chipping and discoloration of the porcelain enamel
fi nish. Vermont Castings Group offers no warranty on chipping of
enamel surfaces. Inspect your wood burning 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
Owner’s Guide, nor does it cover an stove which has been modifi ed
unless authorized by a Vermont Castings Group representative in
writing. This warranty does not cover damage to the stove caused
by burning salt saturated wood, chemically treated wood, or any fuel
not recommended in the Owner’s Guide.
4. This warranty does not cover a stove repaired by someone other
than a Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer.
5. Damage to the unit while in transit is not covered by this warranty but
is subject to a claim against the common carrier. Contact Vermont
Castings Authorized Dealer from whom you purchased your stove or
Vermont Castings Group 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 fi re codes or, in their absence, to the recommendations
in our Owner’s Guide.
7. The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-humidity en-
vironment, can be corrosive to the porcelain enamel fi nish. These
conditions can cause rusting of the cast iron beneath the porcelain
enamel fi nish, which will cause the porcelain enamel fi nish to fl ake
off. This warranty does not cover damage caused by a salt air or
high-humidity environment.
8. Vermont Castings Group shall have no obligation to enhance or
update any unit once manufactured.
IN NO EVENT SHALL Vermont Castings Group BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MER-
CHANTABILITY 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 incidential and
consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specifi c rights and you may have other rights which vary from state
to state.
