9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY I NST RUCT I ONSREAD AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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, fire, and injury to persons.
When using appliances, basic safety precautions must
be followed, including those in the following pages.
Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of
transport damage, do not plug it in.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHEN USING YOUR
WASHING MACHINE, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING
▯ Bosch washers are provided with an Use and Care and
Installation Instruction manual. Read and understand
all instructions before using the washing machine.
▯ Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
▯ Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
▯ Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used for this
length of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow out of each faucet for several minutes before
using the washing machine. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame while carrying out
this procedure.
▯ Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children from
playing or hiding inside. Also remove the power cord/
plug.
▯ Do not allow anyone to climb, lean or hang on any part
of the washer including any protruding components
such as the appliance door or a pullout shelf.
▯ Use caution when draining hot water from the washer
drum such as during pump maintenance or when using
the emergency door open procedure.
▯ Do not reach into the appliance if the wash drum is
moving.
▯ Do not tamper with the controls.
▯ Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any service unless specifically recommended
in the user manual or in Bosch published user repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
▯ Always unplug the washing machine from the power
supply before attempting any service. Disconnect the
power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
▯ Do not machine wash fiberglass materials (such as
curtains and window coverings that use fiberglass
materials). Small particles may remain in the washing
machine and stick to fabrics in subsequent wash loads
causing skin irritation.
▯ Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather. Hoses and internal parts may
be damaged if exposed to freezing temperatures.
▯ Do not use the washing machine if it has a worn power
cord or loose plug.
▯ The washing machine must only be used for its
intended purpose.
▯ Always follow the fabric care instructions
recommended by the clothing manufacturer.
▯ Make sure all water connections to the washing
machine have shut-off valves that are readily
accessible during normal operation of the washer. Turn
off both valves during periods in which the washer is
not in use and before leaving for extended periods
such as vacations to reduce the risk of water damage
in the event of a leak. Turn the valves back on prior to
resuming use of the washer.
▯ Do not operate the washing machine if parts are
missing or broken.
▯ Do not operate the washing machine until you are sure
that:
▯ the washing machine has been installed according
to the Installation Instructions.
▯ all water, drain, power and grounding connections
are in compliance with all local regulations and/or
other applicable regulations and requirements.
▯ Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded
and may present a risk of electric shock during
servicing. Service Personnel – DO NOT CONTACT the
following parts while the appliance is energized: inlet
valves, drain pump, heat sink of the motor controller,
PCBs.
▯ See the installation instructions in this manual for
grounding requirements.

About this manual
These operating and installation instructions may apply to more than one model of washer. Illustrations used may show details that differ from your particular model.
Read your user manual. It contains valuable information about safety, installation and operation of your new appliance.
This can save you time, make it easier to correctly install and use your washer, and improve your overall satisfaction with your new appliance.
Special features
▯ Load adjust matches the water and power
consumption to each program according to the
amount of laundry sensed in the drum and the type of
fabric.
The load adjust function runs automatically to keep
energy and water consumption as low as possible.
The water level sensor ensures the water level is
correct for the laundry and the program selected.
▯ The automatic unbalanced load detection system
spins the laundry several times to ensure even
distribution.
If the laundry is not evenly distributed, the spin speed
is reduced, or the laundry may not be spun for
reasons of safety.
In the Wool program, the spin cycle is attempted only
twice in order to prevent felting.
Environmentally friendly use of your washer
Your new Bosch washing machine is designed to use water, energy and detergent in a highly efficient way to help reduce operating costs, conserve resources and protect the environment.
▯ Utilize the maximum amount of laundry for the
appropriate program.
▯ Avoid using too much detergent.
▯ Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
▯ Save energy and detergent when washing lightly and
normally soiled laundry.
▯ Information about the energy consumption:
The display provides information about the relative
energy consumption in the selected program.
The more indicator lamps light up, the higher the
program's consumption.
This enables you to compare the consumption levels
of the different programs when choosing your program
settings and to decide on an energy- and water-saving
program setting for the selected program.
▯ Energy-saving mode: The display panel lighting goes
out after a few minutes and Start/Pause flashes. To
activate the display, press any button.
Energy-saving mode is not activated if a program is
running.
If Wi-Fi is activated the appliance will not automatically
switch off (automatic switch-off function is
deactivated).
▯ If the laundry will be dried in a dryer afterwards, select
spin speed according to the dryer manufacturer’s
instruction.

Clean program
Importance of installing on a solid, level floor
Your new Bosch washing machine utilizes high spin
speeds to achieve superior water removal from your
laundry resulting in reduced drying time. It is important to
install your washing machine on a floor that will provide
firm support. This prevents the washer from experiencing
excess vibration during spinning that could cause the
washer to move or be noisy.
The installation surface must be solid and level in both directions. Avoid installing your washer on soft surfaces such as floors with carpet or foam backed covering material.
If installing the washer on a wooden floor, observe the following:
▯ install the washer in a corner for better support if
possible.
▯ if necessary, reinforce the floor by screwing a water
resistant wooden board to the floor (minimum of
1.18 in./30 mm thick).
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR INJURY POSSIBLE
▯ The machine is secured for transport with
transport bolts.
Transport bolts that are not removed can damage
the drum during operation of the machine, the
washer will vibrate, and it will be much noisier
during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not
removed before use.
Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts
completely before first use. Keep the transport
bolts.
If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it
must be installed first, prior to removing the
transport bolts. Please consult the pedestal
installation instructions.
▯ In order to prevent transport damage during later
transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before
transport.
1.
Remove drain hose from all brackets.
2.
Loosen and remove all 4 transport bolts. Remove the sleeves. Take the power cable out of the brackets.
14
Page 15
3.
Place covers over the transport bolt holes.
Four plastic covers are provided in the small parts bag
included with your washer. Separate these covers and
install one in each hole where the transport bolts were
removed.
Lock covers firmly by pressing on the snap hook.
NOTICE: Keep the assemblies together and store them for later use such as when moving the washer.
▯ The water supply pressure must be between 14.5 to
145 psi (1 - 10 bar) with a minimum of 2.2 U.S. gallons
(8 liters) of flow per minute. A pressure regulator valve
must be installed if the maximum water pressure is
exceeded.
▯ Make sure the water supply faucet is easily accessible
when the washer is in use. The faucet should be
turned off if the washer is going to be unused for
extended periods of time.
▯ Make sure rubber washers are in place at both ends of
the water supply hose. Missing washers could cause
leaks.
▯ The connection points are under full water pressure.
Turn on the water tap and check for leaks.
▯ Periodically inspect the water supply hose and replace
with a new hose if cuts, kinks or leaks are observed.
Water connections
Water supply hose connections
NOTICES
▯ The washing machine must only be operated with cold
and hot (max. 140 °F/60 °C) tap water. Do not
connect the appliance to the mixer tap of a
pressurized hot-water boiler.
▯ To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water
valves should be accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should always be turned off
when the washing machine is not in use.
▯ If installing the washing machine in a new building or a
building in which the plumbing system was recently
installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing
the washing machine to remove any sand, dirt or
residue.
▯ To prevent leakage or water damage, follow the
instructions in this chapter.
▯ If in doubt, have the appliance installed by an
authorized technician.
Connect your washer to the wall faucets using the included AquaShield® water supply hose.
Observe each of the following:
▯ Only use the new water supply hose shipped with your
washer. Never use old used hoses.
▯ The water supply hoses must not be kinked, bent, or
pinched causing hose damage or restricting water
flow.

Position hoses as shown when routing hoses to right side of washer (facing from front).
About the AquaShield® Hose
The AquaShield® hose prevents potential flooding in the
event the hose develops an internal leak. If the hose
leaks, the indicator turns red and water flow is blocked.
Once the internal valve in the hose activates (indicator is
red) the hose must be discarded. Contact customer
service to purchase a replacement.
AquaStop® Plus
The AquaStop® Plus feature detects water leaks on the
internal base, shuts down operation and automatically
pumps out water so it cannot make contact with the floor.
This feature along with the internal mechanical valve of
the double-walled AquaShield® hose makes AquaStop®
Plus one of the most comprehensive water safety
systems available.
Position hoses as shown when routing hoses to left side of washer (facing from front).
Water drain hose connection
NOTICES

Wash Basin
9 WARNING
SCALDING
When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk
of scalding if you touch hot suds, e.g. when
pumping out hot suds into a wash basin.
Do not reach into the hot suds.
NOTICE: Appliance damage/damage to textiles
If the end of the drain hose touches the discharge water
(water drained from washer) it (the discharge water) can
be sucked back into the appliance and may damage the
appliance or textiles.
Make sure that:
▯ There is no stopper in the sink drain.
▯ The end of the hose does not touch the discharge
water.
▯ The sink drain is free flowing and not partially
clogged.
Leveling the washer
Importance of leveling the washer
Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove water
at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that your
washer is level and that all four washer feet press with
equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the
quietest, most vibration-free use of your washer.
Follow these steps:
1.
Install the washer on a level and solid surface, preferably in a corner of a room.
2.
If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.
3.
Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
4.
Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
5.
Press down on each corner of the washer top to make
sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no
"give" or movement. All four washer feet should press
equally against the floor. This is just as important as
the washer being level to prevent vibration.
6.
When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut).
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
1.
After determining which washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2.
Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.
3.
When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.
Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin.
NOTICE: In any multi-story installation, the washer should be installed on a drained floor to prevent water damage to rooms below in the event of a leak.

electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an
adapter to connect the washing machine to the power
supply. If a ground fault circuit breaker is to be used,
only use the types marked with the following symbol:
z. Only this symbol can assure compliance with all
current regulations.
▯ Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If
the plug will not fit into the outlet have a properly
grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do
not cut, remove or bypass the grounding prong on the
washer power cord plug.
▯ The washer power cord plug must be easily
accessible when the washer is operating.
▯ When unplugging or plugging in the washer power

Laundry
Preparing the laundry
NOTICE: Damage to the appliance/fabrics Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails)
may damage the laundry or components in the washing
machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your
laundry:
▯ Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins,
keys, other hard objects) are placed in the washer
drum.
▯ Close any fasteners (such as zippers and hooks) that
could cause laundry to catch or become entangled.
▯ Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts.
▯ Turn trousers and knitted wear inside out prior to
washing.
▯ Place small items (such as socks and handkerchiefs)
and underwired bras into a mesh bag prior to washing.
▯ When washing laundry to be tumble-dried, use the
correct amount of detergent and textile care products
as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
Some detergents and textile care products, starch or
softeners may contain chemicals that may become
deposited on the moisture sensors negatively affecting
their function and the drying result.
Sorting the laundry
Sort laundry items according to color, degree of soiling and recommended wash temperature range.
Wash white items separately from colored items. Otherwise, white items may tend to become grey.
Observe laundry care labels
H[WUDKRW KRW ZDUP FROG
Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to washing. Choose an appropriate wash cycle that does not exceed the temperature recommended.
Determining degree of soiling
▯ Light soiling
No visible soiling or stains, but may have absorbed
some odor. This could include light weight summer
clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses worn only
once. Also to freshen bed linen or guest towels.
▯ Normal soiling
Visible soiling and/or a few light stains. This could
include clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses that
have been sweated in or worn several times. Also tea
towels, hand towels or bed linen used for up to one
week or more. Curtains without stains that have not
been washed for up to a half year.
▯ Heavy soiling
Visible soiling and stains. This could include kitchen
towels, fabric napkins, baby bibs, children’s outer
clothing or football jerseys and shorts stained with
grass or dirt. It could also include working clothes
such as overalls and jeans and other clothing worn for
outside work and activities.
31
Page 32
Identifying and treating stains
For mild and recent stains the Stains button for food based grease/oils, blood, red wine and grass can be used. For more stubborn and set in stains the below methods can be of help.
Oils and grease: normal body skin oil,
cooking oils/fats, sauces, mineral oil, or
wax (containing fat/oil). Treatment: scrape
residue from fabric. Pretreat. Wash using
hottest water safe for the fabric. For heavy
stains, apply non-flammable dry cleaning
fluid to back of stain, replacing towels
under stain frequently. Rinse thoroughly
and wash using hottest water safe for the
fabric.
Beverages and juices: tea, coffee, red
wine, fruit, vegetables. Treatment: Pretreat
stain. Wash using cold water.
Proteins and carbohydrates: blood, egg,
milk, starch. Treatment: Rinse immediately
in cold water. If stain remains, soak in cold
water with an enzyme prewash.
Soot, dirt, sand (pigments), red clay (such
as soiling of tennis clothing). Brush off residue if present. Pretreat or soak with a
laundry product containing enzymes.
Removing stains
▯ Remove/pretreat stains as soon as possible after they
have occurred.
▯ Dab with a soapy solution. Do not rub.
▯ Select an appropriate wash cycle and wash the item.
Several washing cycles may be required in order to
remove stubborn or dried-in stains.

Laundry detergents and additives
Adding the correct amount of HE detergent
9 WARNING
To avoid risk of poisoning, keep detergents and
cleaning products out of the reach of children.
Avoid overuse of detergent.
Measure out the detergent according to:
▯ The amount of laundry.
▯ The degree of soiling.
~ Sorting the laundry; Page 31
▯ The water hardness. This information can be obtained
from your local water authority. Soft water requires less
detergent.
Too much detergent
▯ Excessive foam will reduce washing agitation and
cause poor washing and rinsing results.
▯ Not environmentally compatible (wastes detergent and
is not good for the environment).
Too little detergent
▯ Laundry will not be washed clean.
▯ Eventually the laundry will take on a grey and hard
appearance. Greyish-brown grease spots may stain
the laundry, heating elements may begin to calcify.
The fabric care label is important for selecting the correct detergent, temperature and treatment of the laundry.
If desired you can visit the following sites for additional information on detergents and fabric care.

Cleaning and maintenance
Your appliance is designed to give you years of service. Observe the following instructions to maintain and protect your appliance and keep it in top operating condition.
9 WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid risk of electric shock always disconnect
the washer from the power outlet prior to cleaning.
Never clean the washer with a pressure washer.
Cleaning the housing and control panel
9 WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
To avoid risk of explosion never clean the washer
with flammable solvents.
As required, you may clean the washer housing and control panel.
- Use hot soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleaning agent.
- Dry with a soft towel.
- Remove residue immediately.
- Do not use high pressure spray.
Cleaning the drum
Metallic debris left in the drum can produce rust spots on the drum. Never use steel wool to try to remove these.
Use a chlorine-free cleaning agent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Descaling the washer
Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent with your wash loads, descaling is not necessary. If descaling the washer drum does become necessary, please follow the descaling product manufacturer’s instructions.
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to remove white spots on the washer drum caused by lime or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust caused by metal objects left in the drum.
NOTICE: Descaling agents contain acids which may attack parts of the washing machine and may discolor the laundry.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser tray
If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives, or if the softener compartment is not rinsed out well enough, it may be helpful to clean the dispenser.
1.
Open the detergent dispenser tray fully. Press down on the drawer catch (1) and pull the tray (2) from the washer housing.
2.
Remove the insert (3) by grasping it and pulling it upwards from the detergent dispenser tray.
3.
Clean the insert and the detergent dispenser tray by holding it under warm running water. Lightly wipe away any remaining detergent residue.
4.
Attach the insert and slide the detergent dispenser tray back into place and close the tray securely.
Tip: Do not operate the washer without the detergent dispenser tray in place. Always keep the tray completely closed.
Cleaning the water inlet strainers
If the washer water supply slows or stops completely, the water inlet strainer may be blocked. Cleaning is recommended every 6 months in any event to reduce chances of valve blockage in areas using hard water.
Normal water pressure from your home, that remains in
the supply hoses after turning off the taps, will cause a
small amount of water to drip out when you remove the
water supply hose from the back of the washer. Be sure
to close the taps completely before removing the supply
hoses to minimize the amount of water.
38
Page 39
Clean the strainers at the water tap end of the hose
1.
Remove the hose from the tap.
2.
Rinse the strainer under running water. Look at the strainer to see if any visible debris is still present. Rinse again if necessary to remove the debris.
3.
Reconnect the hose to the tap.
Clean the strainers at the washer end of the hose
1.
Remove the hose from the inlet on the back of the washer.
2.
Using narrow pliers, grasp and pull the strainer from the inlet port.
3.
Rinse the strainer under running water.
4.
Reconnect the hose to the back of the washer and turn on the water tap. Check to see if water flows by starting a warm water wash cycle.
NOTICE: Check for leaks to be sure the rubber washers are seated at both ends of the water supply hose and the connections are properly tightened.
Cleaning the drain pump
9 WARNING
RISK OF SCALDING
Risk of hot water injury to skin!
Allow the water to cool down prior to actuating the
emergency door lock release.
You are responsible for ensuring all safety
precautions are followed when draining water from
washer and/or manually opening the washer door.
It may be necessary to clean the washer drain pump if the washer fails to drain (sound of water being pumped from the washer cannot be heard when the washer should be draining and other nearby drains, such as a sink, are draining properly).
The washer pump can become blocked by loose debris (a good reason to check the drum and remove any visible debris after each load). Fabrics that give off large amounts of fluff may also cause blockage.
To access the washer drain pump, the service cover must first be removed (see steps below). With the service cover removed, proceed as follows:
1.
If the washer has not been drained, try to drain it now.
Turn the program selector to the Spin/Drain, select
Spin Speed to No Spin and press the Start/Pause
button. Wait a few moments to let the cycle drain the
water from the drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the
water will be unable to drain and the cycle will end.
2.
Shut off the tap so that no more water flows in and has to be drained.
Switch the appliance off. Unplug the power plug.
3.
Open and remove the service cover.
4.
Loosen the screws and remove the protective film.
39
Page 40
5.
Use the pull-out drain hose located in the pump
access opening to drain the remaining water into a
suitable container (up to 5.3 U.S. gallons/20 liters of
water may be drained). Pull the sealing cap from the
hose and lay the hose over the side of the container
and allow the water to finish draining from the drum.
When finished, replace the sealing cap into the end of
the hose and restore the hose to its storage location.
)
6.
Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A
small amount of residual water may flow out when the
cover is removed.
Clean the interior of the pump housing, removing any
debris or foreign objects. Check to be sure the
impeller wheel at the back of the pump housing can
now turn freely.
Remove any lint, debris or detergent residue from the
threads of the pump cover and the pump cover
housing.
Replace the pump cover by screwing tightly into
position. Handle must be vertical.
8.
Snap the service cover in place at the hinges and close it. Wipe up any spilled water.
NOTICE: In order to prevent detergent from flowing unused into the drain during the next wash cycles: pour
0.26 U.S. gallons/1 liter water into the chamber II.
Turn the program selector to the Spin/Drain, select Spin
Speed to No Spin and press the Start/Pause button.
7.
Reinstall the protective film over the pump access using both screws.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
Bosch Clothes Washer
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances Corporation (“Bosch“) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you, the first 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 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.
Limitation for Third Party Accessories and Water
Supply Hoses: Third party accessories, including water
supply hoses other than those shipped with your Bosch
washer, and any consequential damages resulting
therefrom, are not covered by this warranty. This
limitation expressly includes the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,
which are also expressly excluded with respect to third
party accessories, including water supply hoses other
than those shipped with your Bosch washer. Use of third
party accessories, including water supply hoses other
than those shipped with your Bosch washer, does not
void this warranty on any other part, and all other
provisions of this warranty remain in effect.
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 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 finish) 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
specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B”
stock appliances.
SCOPE OF EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY
Bosch will repair or replace, free of charge, any printed
circuit boards, drive motor or component part of the drive
motor that proves defective under conditions of normal
home use during the first seven hundred thirty (730)
days from the date of purchase, labor charges excluded.
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 Boschauthorized 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 not agents, 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, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has
expired.

▯ Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse,
abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure

▯ Any external, elemental and/or environmental forces
and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind,

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 Products on which the serial numbers have
been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach
you how to use the Product, or visits where there is
nothing wrong with the Product; correction of installation
problems (you are solely responsible for any structure
and setting for the Product, including all electrical,
plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper
foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including
without limitation cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.);
and resetting of breakers or fuses.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY
SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH
RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES
IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY,
OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY
IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY
LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE,
SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PERIOD THAT
THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE. IN
NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT,
"BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES,
LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HOTELS AND/
OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES
IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE
DEFINITIVELY CAUSED EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR
OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS
WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY
FROM STATE TO STATE.
No attempt to alter, modify or amend this warranty shall be effective unless authorized in writing by an officer of BSH.
