Warranty
The limited warranty from BSH Home Appliances in this
limited product guarantee applies only to the Bosch
appliance (the “Product”) which you, as first purchaser
have bought, if the product: (1) was purchased for
normal (not commercial) use in the household and was
always and exclusively used for normal household
purposes; (2) was purchased as a new appliance
in a shop (not as an exhibit, “as is” or as a return) and
not for resale or for commercial use; and (3) was
purchased in the United States or Canada and has
never left the country in which it was originally
purchased. The warranties listed here apply only
to the first purchaser of the product and are not
transferable.
Remember to return your registration card; although it
is not required for services within the scope of
the warranty, it provides Bosch with the best means of
contacting you in the unlikely event of a safety warning
or a product recall.
Period of validity of the warranty: Bosch guarantees
that the product is free of material and production faults
for a period of 365 days from the date of purchase.
This period starts on the day of purchase and will not
be postponed, suspended, extended or replaced for
any reason. Repair/replacement as exclusive remedy:
During this warranty period Bosch or one of its
authorized customer service providers will repair your
product free of charge (subject to certain restrictions
listed here) if it turns out that your product has
a material or production fault. If an appropriate number
of attempts have been made to repair your product,
Bosch will replace your product (later models may be
made available to you for an additional fee at the sole
discretion of Bosch). All removed parts and
components are the property of Bosch at its sole
discretion. For the purpose of this warranty all replaced
and/or repaired parts will receive the identity of
the original parts, and this warranty will not be extended
with regard to these parts.
Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility, based on this
warranty, consists of repairing the factory-defective
product involving a customer service provider
authorized by Bosch during normal business hours. For
reasons of safety and with regard to damage, Bosch
strongly recommends that you do not attempt to repair
the product yourself or have it repaired by a nonauthorized customer service; Bosch is not liable for
repairs or work performed by a non-authorized
customer service. If you decide to have the product
repaired by somebody other than an authorized
customer service, THIS WARRANTY WILL BE
AUTOMATICALLY VOIDED. Authorized customer
service providers are those persons or companies
which have been specially trained on Bosch products
and which, in the opinion of Bosch, have an excellent
reputation concerning their customer service and their
technical skills (note: these are independent persons/
companies, there are no agents, partners, subsidiary
companies or representatives of Bosch).
Irrespective of this, Bosch accepts no liability or
responsibility for the product if it is in a remote location
19
en-us
(more than 160 km from an authorized customer
service) or in an inaccessible, dangerous, threatening
or insidious place, in such surroundings or such an
environment; in such a case Bosch would, if you so
wish, bear the costs for labor and materials as well as
for transportation to the nearest authorized customer
service, but you would have to bear the costs for
transportation or other extra charges of the customer
service company if the latter has already expressed its
willingness to accept the order.
Extension of the limited warranty:
Bosch also offers the following, limited warranties:
■ 2-year limited warranty: Bosch will repair or replace
all components which have proven material or
production faults (without labor costs).
■ 5-year limited warranty on electronics: Bosch will
repair or replace all microprocessors or PCBs which
have proven material or production faults (without
labor costs).
■ Lifetime warranty against rusting of stainless steel
parts: Bosch will repair or replace all components
which have proven material or production faults
(without labor costs).
Expired warranty: Bosch is neither legally nor in any
other way obliged to make concessions of any kind
after the warranty period has elapsed, this also applies
to repairs, pro-rata charging or product replacement.
Exclusion of warranty: The warranty described here
excludes all defects and damage which are not based
directly on faults on the part of Bosch; this also
includes the following cases: (1) Use of the product in
other than the normal, usual and designated way
(including inter alia any form of commercial utilization,
use or storage of a domestic appliance outdoors, use
of the product in conjunction with aircraft or watercraft);
(2) Conscious misconduct, negligence, misuse,

or prolonged load due to humidity, lightning, power
failures, structural failure of the appliance environment,
as well as cases of force majeure. Bosch is not at all
liable for environmental damage, e.g. to cupboards,
floors, ceilings and other structures or objects near
the product. Also excluded from the warranty are
scratches, kinks, minor dents und cosmetic damage
to outer surfaces and exposed parts, products on
which the serial number was changed, disguised or
removed; customer service requests to train
the customer in the use of the product, or requests
when the product is in working order; correction of
installation problems (you alone are responsible for all
structural conditions and equipment for the product,

or fuses.
