product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a peri-
od of three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original purchase. The foregoing
timeline begins to run upon the date of the original 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.

•
cessor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship

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 addition-
al charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with
parts of a different type or design than the original part. 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
10
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 a
non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or
work performed by a non-authorized service provider. 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 responsibil-
ity, 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.

ing repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.
