Shipping
All Cornelius products ship free from the primary distribution hub in Mississauga, Ontario. As a cornerstone brand distributed by Celco Inc., Cornelius is a global leader in beverage dispensing technology, specializing in soda dispensers, ice/drink combination units, and frozen beverage carbonators like the Viper series. Because these systems contain intricate carbonation components, refrigeration loops, and delicate syrup valves, they are shipped via specialized freight carriers. Every shipment is professionally palletized and fully insured to protect the internal cold plates and electronics during transit. Liftgate delivery is standard for freight shipments across Canada to ensure the unit is safely offloaded at your facility.
Warranty
Cornelius equipment is backed by a dependable manufacturer warranty program that ensures consistent performance in high-traffic beverage stations.
Standard Beverage Dispenser Protection
Most flagship Cornelius models, including the IDC and Enduro series, carry a standard warranty of:
- 2-Year Limited Parts Warranty on the entire unit from the date of installation.
- 1-Year Labour Warranty from the date of original installation.
Specialized Component Coverage
Reflecting the industrial build quality of their specialized systems, certain parts may carry extended protection:
- 5-Year Parts Warranty is often provided for major refrigeration components like the compressor and the cold plate.
- To validate these terms, the equipment must be registered with the distributor or manufacturer within 30 days of installation.
Service & Support
Warranty and technical service are managed through a comprehensive network of factory-authorized service providers across Canada, coordinated by the support team at Celco Inc. in Mississauga. Because beverage systems require precise calibration of brix levels and CO2 pressure, all warranty repairs must be performed by authorized technicians. To initiate a claim or request technical troubleshooting, please have your model number and serial number ready. Using authorized service and genuine Cornelius OEM parts is mandatory to maintain the validity of your manufacturer’s warranty and to ensure the unit continues to meet beverage quality standards.
Exceptions & Exclusions
Warranty coverage is strictly contingent upon the equipment being installed with appropriate water filtration and maintained according to the provided instructions. Specific exclusions include:
- Water Quality & Scale: Damage resulting from lime or scale buildup due to poor water quality is not covered. The use of a high-quality water filtration system is mandatory for the warranty to remain valid.
- Consumable & Wear Items: Coverage excludes items such as syrup brix cups, O-rings, seals, carbonator motor brushes, and plastic nozzles.
- Operational Misuse: Damage caused by improper electrical supply (wrong voltage), incorrect CO2 pressure, or freezing of the water lines due to lack of winterization is not covered.
- Maintenance Neglect: Failure to perform regular cleaning and sanitizing of the lines and nozzles as outlined in the manual will void the warranty.
- Documentation: Freight damage is not a warranty issue and must be clearly noted on the bill of lading at the time of delivery to be eligible for a replacement or repair claim.
