Statement Of Limited Product Warranty - Bosch Dishwasher Operating Instructions Manual

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 origi-
nal 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 war-
ranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice
or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts: BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in materi-
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. 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
(excluding 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 function-
ality, 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
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 ser-
vicer. 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 ser-
vice providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on BSH prod-
ucts, 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, affili-
ates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH 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, BSH
would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service pro-
