Warranty Statement
APPLICABLE TO ALL PRODUCTS SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
LABOR: Glastender, Inc. warrants all products to be free of defects in
material and workmanship. In established areas, a start-up is included
with glasswasher models GT-24 and GT-30. A 1-year labor warranty
applies to all glasswashers. BDS model bottle disintegration systems
and self-contained refrigeration models, except beer line chillers,
include a 1-year labor warranty, for the duration of one year from date of
installation or up to 18 months from date of factory shipment, whichever
occurs sooner. For warranty labor claims beyond 15 months from the
date of factory shipment, proof of date of installation or occupancy must
be provided. Authorization for labor must be obtained from Glastender
within the warranty period and prior to the service being performed.
Labor warranty applies to the United States and Canada only.
PARTS: Within one year from date of installation or 18 months from
date of factory shipment, whichever occurs sooner, Glastender, Inc.
will replace any part or assembly found defective under normal use and
service. Field replacement parts include a warranty of 90 days from date
of installation.
FOUR YEAR ADDITIONAL COMPRESSOR WARRANTY:
Glastender will warrant to the original user the compressor for all selfcontained refrigeration models for an additional four years following the
regular one-year warranty period. This plan applies to the compressor
only.
A warranty claim form MUST accompany all returned defective parts or
assemblies. This form MUST be completed in full. Failure to do so may
result in delay or denial of credit. Any defective part or assembly must
be returned to Glastender, Inc., Saginaw, Michigan, with all transportation and delivery charges prepaid. Warranty repairs or replacements
will be shipped FOB factory in Saginaw, Michigan. Reimbursement for
applicable freight charges covers ground service only.
Glastender provides in-warranty repairs during a service company’s
regular working days and hours. There is no provision for payment
of a premium rate during “overtime” hours. When warranty service is
requested during other than normal working hours, the end user will be
charged the premium portion of the overtime rate.
The warranty covers substantiated travel expenses for up to 2 hours /
100 miles round trip and a maximum of $150. Any additional costs due
to installations that require extra work, time, or travel to gain access
for service are the sole responsibility of the equipment purchaser. Any
exceptions to these travel and access limitations must be pre-approved
by a factory representative.
The warranty does not cover equipment subjected to accidents, freight
damage, alterations from the original design, improper power and/or
plumbing hookups, improper chemical use, general misuse, or lack
of routine required maintenance as determined by Glastender, Inc.
Installation, normal control adjustments, general maintenance, correcting an installation error, or service calls that reveal the unit is functioning normally will not be reimbursed under warranty.
Condenser coils on self-contained refrigeration products must be
cleaned regularly. Failure to provide adequate air flow to a refrigeration
unit will void the warranty.
Glastender shall not be liable for loss of use, revenue, or profit, or for
any other indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damage including, but not limited to, product spoilage or loss.
This warranty is conditioned upon Glastender receiving notice of any
defect subject to this warranty within sixty (60) days of its discovery
by the end user or dealer. All products are warranted only for the initial
place of installation. Removal of a product automatically terminates
this warranty.
SECOND YEAR EXTENDED PARTS & LABOR WARRANTY:
Glastender’s one-year parts and labor warranty on self-contained refrigeration units, excluding beer line chillers, can be extended to two years
with the purchase of a two year parts and labor warranty. Specify part
number EWR2 ($150 net price) when ordering.

replacIng an empty co2 cylInder
Follow these instructions when replacing an empty CO2 cylinder:
1. Always turn off the gas pressure by closing cylinder valve
“A”.
2. Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder at “B”.
3. Remove the dust cap from the new cylinder at “B” and clear
dust from the new cylinder outlet by quickly opening and
closing valve “A”. NOTE: This is the only time a CO
inder should be opened without a regulator attached.
4. With the new cylinder valve “A” closed, attach the regulator
to the cylinder at “B”. A fiber or plastic washer is required to
couple the regulator and cylinder, unless the regulator includes
a built-in O-ring.
5. Open valve “A” all the way and ensure that the regulator is
sealed properly.
The pressure setting on the gauge is determined by the original
beer system installer. The regulator should remain at this setting, so no adjustment to the regulator is required.
