Authentic Pizza Ovens - Limited Warranty

THE WARRANTY

Authentic Pizza Ovens is an importer of exceptional quality Traditional and Modern wood fired ovens and warrants its ovens to be free from major defects in materials and craftsmanship on the structural components for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase. This warranty may be invalid if the oven or any part is not correctly installed, cured, operated, and maintained according to all specified instructions at purchase.

SPECIFICATIONS TO THE WARRANTY

The warranty above is not applicable under the following circumstances:

(1) The Oven was not installed in accordance with Authentic Pizza Ovens installation guide and your local building codes.

(2) This Warranty does not apply to any cracking caused by over-firing or the failure to follow a proper curing schedule.  See care information for a detailed explanation of this curing schedule. All authentic ovens will crack, it is physics.

(3) The Oven has been subjected to non-standard use, including but not limited to, throwing firewood into the oven with force, addition of non-approved appliances or burners, burning fuels with abnormal burning characteristics, including: driftwood, coal, plywood, and wood products using a binder that may burn at excessive temperatures, causing damage to the Oven. The oven should not be over stuffed with wood.

(6) This Warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear of the Oven, or on parts that would be worn or replaced under normal conditions, including the following:

• Normal cracking due to expansion and contraction stress relief in the refractory materials of either the dome or floor tiles.
• Discoloration of exterior finishes in areas repeatedly exposed to smoke, as this is considered normal wear and character on your wood fired pizza oven.

(7) This Warranty does not apply to ovens that have NOT been covered.  Ovens need to be protected from wet weather. Protect from rain and snow. It is very clear to see if an oven has not been covered.

(8) This Warranty does not apply to any rust that may develop on the door and/or chimney. We recommend with all steel door and chimney ovens that you apply a clear coat of A Rustoleum like rust protector and cover when not in use. Our aluminum door ovens will not rust.
