STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances 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.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred and 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 colon 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.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorised 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).

If you choose to have someone other than an authorised service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID.

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 authorised 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 lobar and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorised 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.
