Statement of Limited Product Warranty
Bosch Dishwashers
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited
warranty provided BSH Home Appliances ("Bosch") in this Statement of
Limited Product Warranty applies only to Bosch dishwashers ("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 transferable.
• Please make sure to return your registration 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
hundred sixty five (365) days (i.e., 1 year) 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: Bosch also provides these additional
limited warranties:
• 2 Year Limited Warranty: Bosch will repair or replace
any component that proves to be defective in materials or
workmanship (excludes labor charges).
• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: Bosch will repair or
replace any Bosch 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: Bosch will replace
the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack components), if the
rack proves defective in materials or workmanship (excludes
labor charges).
• Lifetime Warranty against Stainless Steel Rust Through:
Bosch will replace your dishwasher with the same model or
a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in
functionality, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes
labor charges). Bosch 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, 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
purposes 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 servicer; 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. Authorized 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 notagents, 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, threatening, 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,
pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.
Warranty Exclusions: The warranty coverage described herein
excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch,
including without limitation, one or more of the following: (1) use of
the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended
manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use,
use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in
conjunction with air or water-going vessels); (2) any party's willful
misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper
operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation,
tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling,
unauthorized service (including self-performed "fixing" or exploration
of the appliance's internal workings); (3) adjustment, alteration or
modification of any kind; (4) a failure to comply with any applicable
state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building codes,

other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product; and

including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides,
freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to
humidity, lightning, power surges, structural 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, ceilings, and other structures or objects
around the Product. Also excluded from this warranty are scratches,
nicks, minor dents, and cosmetic damages on external surfaces and
exposed parts; Products on which the serial numbers have been

any structure and setting for the Product, including all electrical,
plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/flooring,
