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 three (3) 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. We are able to discern with photographs if the oven has been over heated. Our ovens are to cook food in and are not incinerators. 

(4) The Oven has been subjected to or the use of improper chemicals or liquids that have been used to clean or sanitize the interior of the oven.

(5) This Warranty does not cover damage to the dome caused by storing any materials on the top of the oven.

(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. This can happen on the dome, inside as well as around the facade.
  • Tiles may chip, crack, and/or become discolored.  This is normal wear and tear. 
  • Grout wearing.  Grout is purposefully left out in between some of the floor tiles to allow torque in transport.  The ash will fill this in over time. Facade grout between the bricks may shift and shed due to heat expansion.
  • 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.

(9) This Warranty does not cover damage to, or failure of the oven, resulting from natural or other catastrophes, such as flood, fire, wind, or severe storms.

(10) This warranty does not cover any application to a food truck or trailer without proper suspension and modification to the facade of the the Maximus/Prime ovens.  We do NOT recommend any of our traditional ovens to be used in a mobile setting and it will not be covered under warranty. Please contact us on 602-482-1000 to receive the appropriate modification information.
