STATEMENT
OF LiMiTED PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty
Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited
warranty
provided
by BSH Home Appliances
("Bosch")
in this Statement
of Lim-
ited Product
Warranty
applies
only to the Bosch appliance
sold to you, the first using purchaser,
provided
that the Product
was purchased:
• For your normal,
household
use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household
purposes.
• New at retail (not a display,
"as is", or previously
returned
model),
and not for resale.
• Commercial
Use such as office space,
multi-housing
properties
(apartments,
time-shares,
etc.),
and Hotel/Motel
suites.
(Any type of indus-
trial/restaurant
use is not covered).
• Within
the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained
within
the country
of original
purchase.
The warranties
stated herein
apply only to the first purchaser
of the Product
and are not transferable.
Please make sure to return your regis-
tration
card; while
not necessary
to effectuate
warranty
coverage,
it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely
event of a safety
notice or product
recall.
How Long the Warranty
Lasts: Bosch warrants
that the Product
is free from defects
in materials
and workmanship
for a period
of three hun-
dred and sixty-five
(365)
days from the date of purchase.
The foregoing
timeline
begins to run upon the date of purchase,
and shall not be
stalled,
tolled,
extended,
or suspended,
for any reason whatsoever.
This Product
is also warranted
to be free from cosmetic
defects
in mate-
rial and workmanship
(such as scratches
of stainless
steel, paint/porcelain
blemishes,
chip, dents, or other damage to the finish of the Prod-
uct),
for a period
of thirty
(30) days from the date of purchase
or closing date for new construction.
This cosmetic
warranty
excludes
slight
color variations
due to inherent
differences
in painted
and porcelain
parts, as well as differences
caused
by kitchen
lighting,
product
location,
or other similar
factors.
This cosmetic
warranty
specifically
excludes
any display,
floor,
"As Is", or "B" stock appliances.
Repair/Replace
as Your Exclusive
Remedy:
During
this warranty
period,
Bosch or one of its authorized
service
providers
will repair
your
Product
without
charge to you (subject
to certain
limitations
stated
herein)
if your Product
proves to have been manufactured
with a defect
in materials
or workmanship.
If reasonable
attempts
to repair the Product
have been made without
success,
then
Bosch will replace
your
Product
(upgraded
models
may be available
to you, in Bosch's
sole discretion,
for an additional
charge).
All removed
parts and components
shall become
the property
of Bosch at its sole option.
All replaced
and/or
repaired
parts shall assume the identity
of the original
part for pur-
poses of this warranty
and this warranty
shall not be extended
with
respect
to such parts. Bosch's
sole liability
and responsibility
hereunder
is to repair
manufacturer-defective
Product
only, using a Bosch
authorized
service
provider
during
normal
business
hours.
For safety and
property
damage
concerns,
Bosch
highly recommends
that you do not attempt
to repair the Product
yourself,
or use an un-authorized
ser-
vicer; Bosch will have no responsibility
or liability
for repairs
or work performed
by a non-authorized
servicer.
If you choose to have someone
other than an authorized
service provider
work on your Product,
THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY
BECOME NULL AND VOID. Autho-
rized service
providers
are those
persons
or companies
that have been specially
trained
on Bosch
products,
and who possess,
in Bosch's
opinion,
a superior
reputation
for customer
service and technical
ability (note that they are independent
entities
and are not agents, partners,
affiliates
or representatives
of Bosch).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing,
Bosch will not incur any liability,
or have responsibility,
for the Product
if it is located
in a remote
area (more than 100 miles from an authorized
service provider)
or is reasonably
inaccessible,
hazardous,
threaten-
ing, or treacherous
locale, surroundings,
or environment;
in any such event, if you request,
Bosch would
still pay for labor and parts and ship
the parts to the nearest
authorized
service
provider,
but you would
still be fully liable
and responsible
for any travel
time or other
special
charges by the service company,
assuming
they agree to make the service call.
Out of Warranty
Product: Bosch is under no obligation,
at law or otherwise,
to provide you with any concessions,
including
repairs,
prorates,
or Product
replacement,
once this warranty
has expired.

coverage

herein

elemental
and/or

exposure
to humidity,

failures
surrounding
the
appliance,
and acts of God.
In no event shall Bosch
have any liability
or responsibility
whatsoever
for damage to surrounding
property,
including
cabinetry,
floors,
ceil-
ings, and other structures
or objects
around the Product.
Also excluded
from this warranty
are Products
on which
the serial numbers
have
been altered,
defaced,
or removed;

to teach you how to use the Product,

there is nothing
wrong with
the Prod-
uct; correction

responsible
for any structure
and setting
for the Product,
including
all electrical,

and for any alterations
including

limitation

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED
BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE
CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT
OR TORT (INCLUDING
STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE)
OR OTHERWISE.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED
BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY
OR FIT-
NESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE,
OR OTHERWISE,
SHALL

WAR-
RANTY IS EFFECTIVE.

THE MANUFACTURER
BE LIABLE
FOR CONSEQUENTIAL,
SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT,
"BUSINESS

AND/OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
LOSSES,
OR EXPENSES,
INCLUDING
WITHOUT
LIMITATION
TIME AWAY FROM WORK,
HOTELS AND/OR
RESTAURANT
MEALS, REMODELLING
EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES
WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY
CAUSED
EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUEN-
TIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS
ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITA-
TIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH
VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
No attempt
to alter,
modify
or amend this warranty
shall be effective
unless authorized
in writing
by an officer
of BSH.
