THIS WARRANTY IS APPLICABLE TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER ONLY. If the
glass lined tank in this water heater shall prove upon examination by (the
warrantor) to have leaked during the warranty period in normal residential
use, due to natural corrosion from potable water therein, the warrantor
will furnish the ORIGINAL OWNER a replacement water heater of equivalent
size and current model, or a replacement part for any component part
which fails in normal use, in accordance with the warranty terms and
conditions specified below. THE WATER HEATER REPLACEMENT MODEL
OR PART WILL BE WARRANTED FOR ONLY THE UNEXPIRED PORTION OF
THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. The warranty period will be determined by
the original installation date of the water heater. PROOF-OF-PURCHASE
AND PROOF-OF-INSTALLATION ARE NECESSARY TO VALIDATE THIS
WARRANTY. This warranty is not transferable.

CONDITIONS AND EXCEPTIONS
This warranty shall apply only when the water heater is installed and
operated in accordance with: 1) all local fire codes and plumbing codes,
ordinances and regulations; 2) the printed instructions provided with it;
3) good industry practices; and 4) proper safety practices such as but
not limited to a properly sized drain pan if installed in an area where
leakage from connections of the tank would result in damage to the area
adjacent to the heater. In addition, a new temperature and pressure
relief valve, certified by the Canadian Standards Association must have
been properly installed and piped to the nearest drain.
This warranty shall apply only when the heater is:
• owned by the original purchaser;
• used at temperatures not exceeding the maximum calibrated
setting of its thermostat;
• not subjected to excessive water pressure fluctuations and not
subject to an operating pressure greater than 150 P.S.I.;
• filled with potable water, free to circulate at all times and with the tank
free of damaging water sediment or scale deposits;
• used in a non-corrosive and non-contaminated atmosphere;
• used with factory approved anode(s) installed;
• in its original installation location;
• in the United States and its territories or possessions;
• sized in accordance with proper sizing techniques for residential
water heaters;
• bearing a rating plate which has not been altered, defaced or removed
except as required by the warrantor;
• used in an open system or in a closed system with a properly
sized and installed thermal expansion tank;
• fired at the factory rated input using the fuel stated in the face of the
rating plate;
• operated with the inner and outer combustion chamber doors
in place;
• maintained in accordance with the instructions printed in the
manual included with the heater.
Any accident to the water heater or any part thereof (including freezing,
fire, floods, or lightning), any misuse, abuse or alteration of it, any
operation of it in a modified form, or any attempt to repair tank leaks or
parts, will void this warranty.
SERVICE AND LABOR RESPONSIBILITY
UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, THE WARRANTOR WILL PROVIDE
ONLY A REPLACEMENT WATER HEATER OR PART THEREOF. THE OWNER
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OTHER COSTS. Such costs may include but
are not limited to:
a. Labor charges for service, removal, or reinstallation of the water
heater or part thereof.
LIMITED RESIDENTIAL GAS WARRANTY
b. Shipping and delivery charges for forwarding the new water heater
or replacement part from the nearest distributor and returning the claimed
defective heater or part to such distributor except in the state of California
where such charges are the manufacturer’s responsibility.
c. All cost necessary or incidental for handling and administrative
charges, and for any materials and/or permits required for installation
of the replacement heater or part.
LIMITATION ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES
Implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability imposed on the
sale of this heater under state law are limited to one year duration for the heater
or any of its parts. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
CLAIM PROCEDURE
Any claim under this warranty should be initiated with the dealer who
sold the heater, or with any other dealer handling the warrantor’s products.
The warrantor will only honor replacement with identical or similar water
heater or parts thereof which are manufactured or distributed by the
warrantor.
Dealer replacements are made subject to in-warranty validation by
warrantor.
PROOF-OF-PURCHASE AND PROOF-OF-INSTALLATION DATES ARE
REQUIRED TO SUPPORT WARRANTY FOR CLAIM FROM ORIGINAL
OWNER. THIS FORM DOES NOT CONSTITUTE PROOF-OF-PURCHASE
OR PROOF-OF-INSTALLATION.
DISCLAIMERS
NO EXPRESS WARRANTY HAS BEEN OR WILL BE MADE IN BEHALF OF
THE WARRANTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE
HEATER OR THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
OF THE HEATER OR PARTS. THE WARRANTOR SHALL NOT BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR WATER DAMAGE, LOSS OF USE OF THE UNIT,
INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY, OR
OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. THE WARRANTOR SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE BY VIRTUE OF THIS WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE FOR DAMAGE
TO ANY PERSONS OR PROPERTY, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, AND
WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT.
Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion 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. Should governmental regulations or
industry standards prohibit the Manufacturer from furnishing a comparable
model replacement under this warranty, the Owner will be furnished with
the closest comparable water heater meeting the current governmental
regulations and industry standards. A supplementary fee may be assessed
to cover the additional cost associated with the changes made to meet
applicable regulations and standards.
Fill out and keep with water heater.
