GENERAL
Controlled Energy Corporation (CEC) will furnish a replacement heat
exchanger and will furnish a replacement of any other part, which fails
in normal use and service within the applicable periods specified below,
in accordance with the terms of this warranty. The CEC replacement
will be warranted for the unexpired portion of the original warranty.
This warranty will be valid only for water heaters in the possession of
the original consumer purchaser as recorded on the warranty card.
THE HEAT EXCHANGER
If the Heat Exchanger fails within TEN (10) years after the original
installation and operation, CEC will furnish a replacement heat
exchanger. However, if the water heater is installed in other than a
single family dwelling, or is used as a circulating heater in any
application, this heat exchanger warranty is limited to TWO (2) years
from date of original installation and operation.
ALL OTHER PARTS
If any other part fails within TWO (2) years after original installation
and operation, CEC will furnish a replacement part free of charge.
SHIPPING COSTS
In addition to supplying the replacement part (s), CEC will pay
transportation costs for these parts to a convenient delivery point near
you selected by CEC, such as a local AQUASTAR dealer or distributor.
SERVICE LABOR COSTS
This warranty does not cover any labor costs associated with service,
removal or re-installation of the part (s). All such costs must be borne
by you, the purchaser.
EXCEPTIONS
This warranty will not apply:
1) to defects or malfunctions resulting from failure to properly install,
operate or maintain the unit in accordance with the printed
instructions provided;
2) to damage from abuse, accident, neglect, or freezing and other acts
of nature;
3) to damage resulting from operation with either the thermocouple or
overheat sensor removed;
4) TO FAILURES OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER RESULTING FROM
THE OPERATION OF THE WATER HEATER IN A CORROSIVE
ATMOSPHERE OR AT WATER TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING
THE MAXIMUM RATING, OR IF THE WATER HEATER IS NOT
SUPPLIED WITH POTABLE WATER.
5) to defects or damage caused by any attachment or modification,
including any energy saving device.
NOTE: THE WATER HEATER MUST BE FREE OF DAMAGING
SCALE DEPOSITS AND NOT SUBJECT TO GAS PRESSURES
GREATER THAN THOSE SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE, WHICH
MUST NOT BE ALTERED, DEFACED, OR REMOVED.
