Otherwise, here's a pretty well paraphrased version of it:

Ritchie Industries, Inc. warrants its products to be free of defective materials and workmanship. Defective part(s) will be repaired or replaced at the option of Ritchie Industries. This warranty specifically excludes all labor and shipping charges. This warranty does not apply to any appearance issues, to any product whose exterior has been damaged or defaced, to any product subjected to misuse, abnormal service or handling, and to any products altered or repaired with other than original equipment or manufacturer's parts. All warranty claims must processed through an authorized Ritchie dealer / distributor. Proof of purchase is required. The period of warranty begins at original date of purchase, not date of installation.

Warranty on each type of product is as follows:

If an optional immersion heater was purchased with the unit, it carries a 100% one year warranty from date of purchase.
