catalyst.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:
This warranty does not cover the following:

noise are not covered by this warranty.

operating instructions, and listing agent identification label furnished with the appliance; (2) failure to install the appliance in

• Any part of a pre-existing fireplace system in which an insert or a decorative gas appliance is installed.
• HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to the appliance’s capability to heat the desired space. Information is provided
to assist the consumer and the dealer in selecting the proper appliance for the application. Consideration must be given to the
appliance location and configuration, environmental conditions, insulation and air tightness of the structure.
This warranty is void if:

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
• The owner’s exclusive remedy and HHT’s sole obligation under this warranty, under any other warranty, express or implied, or in
contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above. In no event will HHT be liable for
any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states do not allow exclusions or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also
have other rights, which vary from state to state. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES
OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY SPECIFICED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE
