Standard Limited Warranty
BSH warrants that its Cooktop is free from defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of twelve (12) months from the Date of Installation. During the war-
ranty period, BSH or tis authorized service center will repair or replace, at its sole
option, any Cooktop that proves to have been defective under conditions of nor-
mal use without charge. All removed parts and components shall become the
property of BSH, at BSH's 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.
Extended Limited Warranty
BSH further warrants that the electric heating elements and controls of the Cook-
top and the ceramic glass of the Cooktop shall be free from defects in materials
for a period of time beginning on the twelfth (12th) month from the Date of Installa-
tion and continuing until the sixtieth (60th) month from the Date of Installation
("extended warranty period"). During the extended warranty period,
BSH will replace any electric heating elements, controls, or ceramic glass of the
Cooktop that proves to have been defective under normal conditions of use with-
out charge, excluding any labor (including but not limited to labor charges incurred
in the removal and reinstallation of any Cooktop), transportation, and/or shipping
costs incurred in the performance of this extended warranty. All replaced parts
covered under this paragraph shall assume the Identity of the original for pur-
poses of this extended warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with
respect to such parts.
Other Conditions of the
Limited Warranties
The warranties provided in this Statement of Limited Warranty exclude defects or
damage resulting from (1) use of the Cooktop in other than its normal and custom-
ary manner (commercial use of the Cooktop shall not be deemed normal or cus-
tomary), (2) misuse, abuse, accidents or neglect, (3) improper operation,
maintenance, installation or unauthorized service, (4) adjustment or alteration or
modification of any kind, (5) a failure to comply with applicable state, local, city,
and county electrical and/or building codes, (6) spills of food or liquid, and (7)
external forces such as floods, fires, acts of God or other circumstances beyond
BSH's control. Also excluded from this warranty are scratches and damages on
external surfaces and exposed parts of Cooktops on which the serial numbers
have been altered, defaced of removed.
To the extent allowed by law, this warranty sets out your exclusive remedies with
respect to products covered by it, whether the claim arises in contract or tort
(including strict liability and negligence) or otherwise. BSH will not be liable for
consequential or incidental damages, losses, or expenses. THIS WARRANTY IS
IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED
BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICU-
LAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE
PERIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE. No attempt to
alter, modify, or amend this warranty shall be effective unless authorized in writing
by an officer of BSH.

Notice to California Owners
If your Cooktop needs warranty service and there is no authorized BSH service
center reasonably close to you, you may notify the BSH reseller from whom you
purchased the Cooktop. If the BSH reseller fails to repair or replace the defective
parts, or partially refund your purchase price (where applicable), you may have
the Cooktop repaired at any large appliance repair shop or center and you will be
reimbursed for all reasonable expenses provided the costs are substantiated in
writing and the work performed is covered by this warranty. BSH shall not reim-
burse any repair costs hereunder which exceed the depreciated value of the
Cooktop.
