Statement
of Limited Product Warranty
Bosch Dishwashers
What this Warranty
Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty
provided BSH Home Appliances ("Bosch") in this Statement of Limited
Product Warranty applies only to Bosch dishwashers ("Product") sold to
you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:
(I) for your normal, household (non-commercial)
use, and has in fact
at all times only been used for normal household purposes; (2) new at
retail (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for
resale, or commercial use; and (3) 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 sixty five (365) days (i.e., 1 year) 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.
Labor and shipping costs are included in this basic
coverage.
Extended

Bosch also provides these additional
limited warranties:
•
2 Year Limited Warranty:
Bosch will repair or replace
any component
that proves to be defective in materials or
workmanship
(excludes labor charges).
•
5 Year Limited Warranty
on Electronics:
Bosch will repair or
replace any Bosch microprocessor or printed circuit board if it
proves to be defective in materials or workmanship
(excludes
labor charges).
•
5 Year Limited Warranty
on Dish Racks: Bosch will replace the
upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack components),
if the rack
proves defective in materials or workmanship
(excludes labor
charges).
•
Lifetime

Bosch will replace your dishwasher with the same model or
a current model that is substantially
equivalent or better in

door should rust through (excludes labor charges).
The foregoing
timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and
shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason
whatsoever.
RepairlReplace
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 andlor
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 I00 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.
