LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for
HHT gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.
WARRANTY COVERAGE:
HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership
of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered components manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,
HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.
WARRANTY PERIOD:
Warranty coverage begins on the date of installation. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage begins on
the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent, authorized HHT
dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of
product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for parts and labor for
covered components is produced in the following table.
The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These
time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.

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

ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue ames This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed to
burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance When rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from nishing materials
and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require additional curing
related to the installation environment.
Film on the glass This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3

sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
of the appliance.
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot ame should turn off when appliance is turned off.
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot ame to remain lit. In a
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
