Registration can be completed here. Registration is used by Denali Aire to protect customers by recording purchases. In case of a recall or other very important information pertaining to the machine, Denali Aire can quickly and efficiently contact you. Registration does not confirm the warranty status – a valid receipt is still required to confirm warranty. We highly suggest registering the unit as soon as possible to stay updated, but it can technically be done at any time.
