Home Appliances Corporation (BSH) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies

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 Prod-
uct and are not transferable.
• Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate war-
ranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice
or product recall.

als and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty five (365) days from the date of pur-
chase. 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 war-
ranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of
stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the
Product, 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 differ-

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
(excluding rack components), if the rack proves defective in materials or workmanship

ality, if the inner liner 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 autho-
rized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limita-
tions 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 BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in the sole discre-
tion of BSH, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the prop-
erty 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 normal 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 AUTOMATI-
CALLY 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
