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 appliance
(“Product“) sold to you, the rst using purchaser,
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 to the original purchaser
of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding
owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use
during the term of the warranty.
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
hours. For safety and property damage concerns, BSH
highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the
Product yourself, or use an un-authorized 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

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.
