Most work is covered. The defining factor is, has the machine malfunctioned (Conserv Appliances is
responsible) or has the customer omitted or done something to cause the machine to malfunction
(customer is responsible). Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you.
Specifically, the following work is not covered under warranty and does not constitute warranty
work
Since it is the responsibility of the consumer-owner to establish the warranty period by verifying the
original purchase date, Conserv Appliances recommends that a receipt, delivery slip or some other
appropriate payment record be kept for that purpose.
