MHSC warrants that this woodburning stove will be free of defects in mate-
rial and workmanship for a period of three years from the date you receive
it, except that the catalyst, thermostat assembly, handles, glass door pan-
els, cement, and gasketing shall be warranted as described below.
MHSC 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.
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 war-
ranted 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.
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 4 months from the date the
Intrepid Multi-Fuel is received, the catalyst itself will be replaced free.
From 5 - 7 months a pro-rated credit will be allowed against a re-
placement 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
(5 - 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.

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.

1. This product must be installed or serviced by a qualified installer,This product must be installed or serviced by a qualified installer,
preferably NFI or WETT (Canada) certified, as prescribed by the local
jurisdiction. It must be installed and operated at all times in accordance
with the Installation and Operating instructions furnished with the
product. Any alteration, willful abuse, accident, or misuse of the product
shall nullify this warranty.
. This warranty is transferable; however, proof of original retail pur-
chase is required.
3. This warranty does not cover misuse of the Intrepid. Misuse includes
overfiring which will result if the Intrepid 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.
MHSC
offers no warranty on chipping of enamel surfaces. Inspect your
woodburning stove prior to accepting it for any damage to the enamel.
4. 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 modified
unless authorized by a
MHSC
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.
5. This warranty does not cover a stove repaired by someone other than
a
MHSC
Authorized Dealer.
6. 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
MHSC
if the purchase was direct. (Do not operate the stove as this may
negate the ability to process the claim with the carrier.)
7. Claims are not valid where the installation does not conform to local
building and fire codes or, in their absence, to the recommendations in
the Owner’s Guide.
8. The salt air environment of coastal areas, or a high-humidity environ-
ment, 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-humidity environ-
ment.
9.

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.
