WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully
before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, re, and injury to persons. When using kitchen
appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including
those in the following pages.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
WARNING
Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance.
Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance. Never
allow children to play with packaging material.
INSTALLER: Show the owner the location of the circuit breaker
or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a
qualied technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
Refer to Installation Instructions for details.
This appliance is intended for normal family household use
only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Warranty in the
Use and Care Guide. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, ammables
or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specically
designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of
corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.
Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it
has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specically recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a
factory authorized service center.
CAUTION
Grease left on lters can melt and move into the vent.
WARNING
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when
reaching behind or under appliance.
WARNING
Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose tting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,
jewelry or dangling sleeves.
WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously
with a different appliance which also makes use of the same
chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-red heaters, continuous-ow
heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that
there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by
the appliance for combustion.
This can be achieved if combustion air can ow through non-
lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/
exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as
reciprocal interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate air intake
so combustion gases are not drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that
the limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined
ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into
consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking
appliances, such as cooktops and ovens.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing, switch power
off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power
from being switched on accidentally.

provided that the Product was purchased:
For your normal, household (non-commercial) use,
•
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.
New at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously
•
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial
use.
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 rst
purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.
BSH reserves the right to request proof of purchase at
the time any warranty claim is submitted to conrm that
the Product falls within the scope of this limited product
warranty.
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 product 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-ve (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.
This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic
defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches
of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip,
dents, or other damage to the nish) 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
differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well
as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product
location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty
specically excludes any display, oor, “As Is”, or “B”
stock appliances.
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 without success,
then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models
may be available to you, in BSH’s sole discretion, 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

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 BSH’s
opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and
technical ability (note that they are independent entities
and are not agents, partners, afliates 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 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.
