Issues such as igniter adjustment, gas pressure, IPI electronic ignition, minor stucco, tile, and grout repairs, should be included in start-up. Such procedures are not covered by the warranty. Warranty Period: The warranty period for consumers begins at date of purchase. The manufacturer will use the date of sale for warranty start date.
