Warranty
Limited 3 Year Warranty
CFM Corporation warrants that this woodburning stove will be free of
defects in material and workmanship for a period of three years from the
date you receive it, except that the catalyst, thermostat assembly, handles,
glass door panels, cement, and gasketing shall be warranted as described
below.
CFM Corporation will repair or replace, at its option, any part found
to be defective upon inspection by a Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer.
The customer must return the defective part or the stove, with shipping
prepaid, to the Authorized Dealer or pay for any Authorized Dealer in-home
travel fees or service charges for in-home repair work. It is the dealer’s
option whether the repair work will be done in the customer’s home or in the
dealer’s shop. If, upon inspection, the damage is found to be the fault of the
manufacturer, repairs will be authorized at no charge to the customer for
parts and/or labor.
Any woodburning stove or part thereof that is repaired or replaced
during the limited warranty period will be warranted under the terms of the
limited warranty for a period not to exceed the remaining term of the original
limited warranty or six (6) months, whichever is longer.
Limited 1 Year Warranty
The following parts of the woodburning stove are warranted to be free
of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the
date you receive it: The thermostat assembly, handles, glass door panels,
cement, and gasketing. Any of these items found to be defective will be
repaired or replaced at no charge, upon the return of the part with postage
prepaid to a Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer.
Any part repaired or replaced during the limited warranty period will
be warranted under the terms of the limited warranty for a period not to
exceed the remaining term of the original limited warranty or six (6) months,
whichever is longer.
Limited Catalyst Warranty
The catalyst will be warranted for a six year period as follows:
If the original catalyst or a replacement catalyst proves defective or
ceases to maintain 70% of its particulate emission reduction activity (as
measured by an approved testing procedure) within 24 months from
the date the Intrepid Multi-Fuel is received, the catalyst itself will be
replaced free.
From 25 - 72 months a pro-rated credit will be allowed against a
replacement catalyst and the cost of labor necessary for its installation
at the time of replacement.
For stove purchases made after June 30, 1990, a third year
(25 - 36 months) of no charge replacement will be made when combus-
tor failure is due to thermal degradation of the substrate (crumbling of
ceramic material). The customer must pay for any in-home travel fees,
service charges, or transportation costs for returning the Intrepid Multi-
Fuel to the Authorized Dealer.
Amount of Time Credit Towards
Since Purchase Replacement Cost

25 - 36 months 50 %
37 - 48 months 30%
49 - 60 months 20%

Any replacement catalyst will be warranted under the terms of the
catalyst warranty for the remaining term of the original warranty. The
purchaser must provide the following information in order to receive a
replacement catalyst under the terms of this limited warranty:
1. Name, address and telephone number.
2. Proof of original purchase date.
3. Date of failure of catalyst.
4. Any relevant information or circumstances regarding determina
-
tion of failure.
5. In addition, the owner must return the failed catalyst.
Exclusions & Limitations
1. This warranty is transferable; however, proof of original retail
purchase is required.
2. This warranty does not cover misuse of the Intrepid. Misuse
includes overfiring which will result if the Intrepid is used in such a man
-
ner as to cause one or more of the plates to glow red. Overfiring can
be identified later by warped plates and areas where the paint pigment
has burned off. Overfiring in enamel fireplaces is identified by bubbling,
cracking, chipping and discoloration of the porcelain enamel finish.
CFM Corporation offers no warranty on chipping of enamel surfaces.
Inspect your woodburning stove prior to accepting it for any damage to
the enamel.
3. This warranty does not cover misuse of the stove as described in
the Owner’s Guide, nor does it cover any stove which has been modi-
fied unless authorized by a CFM Corporation representative in writing.
This warranty does not cover damage to the Intrepid Multi-Fuel caused
by burning salt saturated wood, chemically treated wood, or any fuel not
recommended in the Owner’s Guide.
4. This warranty does not cover a stove repaired by someone other
than a CFM Corporation Authorized Dealer.
5. Damage to the unit while in transit is not covered by this warranty
but is subject to a claim against the common carrier. Contact
Vermont
Castings
Authorized Dealer from whom you purchased your stove or
CFM Corporation if the purchase was direct. (Do not operate the stove
as this may negate the ability to process the claim with the carrier.)
6. Claims are not valid where the installation does not conform to lo-
cal building and fire codes or, in their absence, to the recommendations
in the Owner’s Guide.
7. The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-humidity
environment, can be corrosive to the porcelain enamel finish. These
conditions can cause rusting of the cast iron beneath the porcelain
enamel finish, which will cause the porcelain enamel finish to flake off.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by a salt air or high-hu-
midity environment.
8. CFM Corporation shall have no obligation to enhance or update
any unit once manufactured.
IN NO EVENT SHALL CFM CORPORATION BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MER-
CHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF
THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. THIS WARRANTY SUPERCEDES ALL
OTHER ORAL OR WRITTEN WARRANTIES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitations of inciden-
tial and consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This war
-
ranty gives you specific rights and you may have other rights which vary
from state to state.
