Statement of Limited Product Warranty
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty provided by BSH Home
Appliances Corporation (BSH) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to
the Bosch ® dishwasher ("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the
Product was purchased: (1) for your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact
at all times only been used for normal household purposes; (2) new at retail (not a display, "as
is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and (3) 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 trans-
ferable.
• Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty
coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or prod-
uct recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts: BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials
and workmanship for a period of three hundred 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. Labor and shipping costs are included in
this basic coverage.
Extended Limited Warranty: BSH also provides these additional limited warranties:
• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: BSH will repair or replace any BSH microprocessor or
printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor
charges).
• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Dish Racks: BSH will replace the upper or lower dish rack (exclud-
ing rack components), if the rack proves defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor
charges).
• Lifetime Warranty against Stainless Steel Rust Through: BSH will replace your dishwasher
with the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in functional-
ity, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes labor charges).
• BSH will replace the stainless steel door if the door should rust through (excludes labor charges).
The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled,
extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this warranty period, BSH 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 with-
out success, then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in
the sole discretion of BSH, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall
become the property of BSH at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume
the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be
extended with respect to such parts. BSH's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to
repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a BSH-authorized service provider during nor-
mal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, BSH highly recommends that
you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an unauthorized servicer; BSH 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. Authorized service providers
are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on BSH products, and who
possess, in the opinion of BSH, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability
(note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representa-
tives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH will not incur any liability, or have responsi-
bility, 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, threatening, or treacherous locale,
