failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance,
unapproved modifications, or the use of parts not made or
approved by the original equipment manufacturer.

authorized repair center as soon as a problem exists. Warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time,
not to exceed 30 days.
