If an American-Standard Americast® brand product is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, after inspection by an authorized American-Standard representative, AmericanStandard will repair or, at its option, exchange the product for a similar model. This warranty extends for the lifetime of the product, so long as it remains in use in its original place of installation, except that the warranty applies to a bathing vessel’s slip-resisting surface only for the first year after the product’s initial installation.

This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and installation of these products.

This warranty does not apply to whirlpool components or to faucets, drains, mounting rims, grab bars or other accessories. If manufactured or supplied by American-Standard, such whirlpool components and accessories are covered under separate limited warranties.

This warranty does not apply to local building code compliance. Since local building codes vary considerably, the purchaser of this product should check with a local building or plumbing contractor to assure local code compliance before installation.

This warranty shall be void if the Americast® brand product has been moved from its initial place of installation; if it has been subjected to faulty maintenance, abuse, misuse, accident or other damage; if it was not installed in accordance with American-Standard’s instructions; or if it was modified in a manner inconsistent with the product as shipped by American-Standard.

American-Standard's option to repair or exchange the product under this warranty does not cover any labor or other costs of removal or installation, nor shall American-Standard be

responsible for any other incidental or consequential damages attributable to a product defect or to the repair or exchange of a defective product, all of which are expressly excluded from this warranty. (Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation

of implied warranties, so this exclusion may not apply to you.) This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other statutory rights that vary from state to state or from province to province, in which case this warranty does not affect such statutory rights.

CARE AND CLEANING...

For all porcelain enamel surfaces, regular, gentle care is best. The recommended way to preserve the finish, avoid scratches, and clean porcelain enamel fixtures is to rinse them with detergent and water. Generally, any of the light duty liquid dishwashing detergents, such as Palmolive or Dawn, work well. In areas where the water is hard, a heavy duty liquid laundry detergent such as liquid Tide will work better.
