WHAT DOES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVER?****
This limited warranty covers both the glass-lined tank and component parts for leakage or other malfunction caused by defects in materials and/or workmanship. It extends to the first buyer and to any subsequent owner(s) as long as the water heater remains installed at its original place of installation.
WHAT DOES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY NOT COVER?*****
1. This limited warranty does not cover leakage or other malfunctions caused
by:
a) Defective installation, and specifically, any installation which is made:
i) in violation of applicable state or local plumbing, housing or building
codes, or
ii) without a certified American Gas Association, ASME, or comparable
combination temperature and pressure relief valve, or
iii) contrary to the written instructions furnished with the unit.
b) Adverse local conditions, and specifically, sediment or lime precipitate in
the tank or corrosive elements in the atmosphere.
c) Misuse, and specifically, operations, and maintenance contrary to the
written instructions furnished with the unit, removal of the anode(s),
disconnection, alteration or addition of non-approved components or apparatus,
operation with fuels or at settings other than those set forth on the rating
plate, or accidental or other exterior damage.
2. This warranty also does not cover:
a) Production of noise, taste, odors, discoloration, or rusty water.
b) Incidental property damage, loss of use, inconvenience, or other incidental
or consequential costs.
c) Costs associated with the replacement and/or repair of the unit, including:
i) any freight, shipping, or delivery charges
ii) any removal, installation, or re-installation charges
iii) any material, and/or permits required for installation, re-installation,
or repair
iv) charges to return the defective water heater and/or component part to the
manufacturer.

**All replacement water heaters and parts carry the balance of the original
warranty, i.e. if an original three (3) year tank warranted water heater
develops a leak due to defects in materials/workmanship after only two (2)
years, the replacement unit is warranted for only the balance remaining from
the original three (3) year warranty, or one (1) year in this example.
WHAT IS THE DURATION OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY?****
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY IMPOSED ON THE SALE OF THE WATER HEATER UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF SALE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL INSTALLATION.
HOW DOES STATE LAW RELATE TO THE WARRANTY?****
Some states do not allow:
1. Limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts.
2. Limitations on incidental or consequential damages.
Therefore, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
*Restrictions are not applicable to implied warranties in California. See “Special State Provisions” on the reverse side.
WHAT WILL WE DO TO CORRECT PROBLEMS?****
If a defect occurs within the warranty period, we will:
Provide a replacement water heater from our manufacturer, (or at our option)
and repair any unit which develops a leak in the steel tank within the tank
warranty period. To obtain a replacement, you must forward the rating plate
from the defective unit to us. If government regulations require the
replacement water heater to have features not found in the defective water
heater, you will be required to pay the difference in price represented by
those government-required features.
Provide a replacement part (or at our option repair) any part which fails to
function within the parts warranty period. To obtain a replacement, you must
forward the defective part to us. If government regulations require the
replacement part to have features not found in the defective part, you will be
required to pay the difference in price represented by those government-
required features. We do reserve the right to verify any claims of defect by
inspection.
WHAT WILL WE NOT DO?****
We will not:
Repair or replace any water heater, or part, subject to conditions outlined in
“What Does This Limited Warranty Not Cover?”
Reimburse any costs associated with repair and/or replacement.
Replace and/or repair any water heater without a complete model/serial number.
