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.
Products will repair or replace, at its option, any part
found to be defective upon inspection by a CFM Corporation
Authorized Dealer. The customer must return the defective
part or the stove, with shipping prepaid, to the Authorized Deal-
er or pay for any Authorized Dealer in-home travel fees or ser-
vice 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 assem-
bly, 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
CFM Corporation 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

Exclusions & Limitations
1. This warranty is transferable; however, proof of original
retail purchase is required.
2. This warranty does not cover misuse of the this stove.
Misuse includes overfiring which will result if the stove is used
in such a manner 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 Corpora-
tion 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 de-
scribed in the Owner’s Guide, nor does it cover any stove which
has been modified unless authorized by a CFM Corporation
representative in writing. This warranty does not cover damage
to the stove 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 some-
one 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 CFM Corporation 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 con-
form to local building and fire codes or, in their absence, to the
recommendations in our Owner’s Guide.
7. The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-hu-
midity 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 por-
celain enamel finish to flake off. This warranty does not cover
damage caused by a salt air or high-humidity 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 WAR-
RANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, ARE LIM-
ITED 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
incidential and consequential damages or limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights and you
may have other rights which vary from state to state.

sentatives.
