Warranty
Information
What this Warranty
Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited
warranty
provided
by BSH Home Appliances
Corporation
(Bosch ®) in this State-
ment 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
house-
hold 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 hun-
dred 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:
Bosch ® also provides these additional
limited
warranties:
• 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

steel door if the door should rust through
(excludes
labor charges).
The foregoing tirneline 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 Prod-
uct (upgraded
models
may be available to you, in the sole discretion
of Bosch ®, 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 unauthorized
ser-
vicer; Bosch ® wilt 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 the opinion
of Bosch ®, a superior
reputation
for customer
service and technical
ability
(note that they are independent
entities
and are not agents, part-
ners, affiliates
or representatives
of Bosch®).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Bosch ® wilt 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.
