within the country of original purchase. the warranties stated herein

apply only to the first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.

notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

hundred sixty five (365) days (i.e., 1 year) from the date of purchase.

whatsoever. labor and shipping costs are included in this basic coverage.

(excludes labor charges).

replace any Bosch microprocessor or printed circuit board if it

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 Bosch-authorized 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,

pro-rates, or product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

Warranty Exclusions: the warranty coverage described herein excludes

all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, including

without limitation, one or more of the following: (1) use of the product

in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner

(including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage

of an indoor product outdoors, use of the product in conjunction with air

or water-going vessels); (2) any party’s willful misconduct, negligence,

misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain,

improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating

instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including self-performed

“fixing” or exploration of the appliance’s internal workings); (3) adjustment,

alteration or modification of any kind; (4) a failure to comply with any

applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building

codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install the product in

strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations; (5)

ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or

other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the product; and (6)

any external, elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including

without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing

temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to humidity,

lightning, power surges, structural failures surrounding the appliance,

and acts of God. 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.

cosmetic damages on external surfaces and exposed parts; products

on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed;

including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper
