from the use of any spare parts not manufactured, sold or approved by Bosch in connection with the repair or replacement of 
Product.

This voluntary warranty does not apply to damage that has been caused by continued use of a Product after it is known, or would 
have been known with regular servicing, it is defective.

to Bosch's Customer Service line in Australia on ph: 1300 307 037 or in New Zealand on ph: 0800 543 352.

How to Make a Warranty Claim

If a Product fails within the warranty period, the end user must stop using the Product and make a claim as soon as possible, in any 
event before the end of the Warranty Period (see Deadlines for Submitting Warranty Claims below).

To make a warranty claim under this voluntary warranty, call the Bosch Customer Contact Centre (in Australia on ph: 1300 307 037 
or in New Zealand on ph: 0800 543 352). Please be ready to provide the model and serial number, date of installation, purchase 
details and a full description of the problem.   Alternatively, for claims in Australia, you can post details of your claim to Robert Bosch

claims under this voluntary warranty for attendance and repair of the Product by third parties not authorised by Bosch.

Deadlines for Submitting Warranty Claims

Bosch aims to rectify genuine quality problems as a priority. This is generally achieved by investigating why defective products have 
failed and by introducing immediate corrective action measures to prevent re-occurring warranty failures. It is therefore critical that 
all warranty claims are promptly submitted to Bosch as soon as the product fails, and in any event before the end of the warranty 
period.

Product Liability and Product Safety

Bosch should be informed immediately about any potential product safety concerns within and outside the warranty period. Bosch 
is well aware of its product liability and product safety obligations and responsibilities. It is our aim to ensure appropriate product 
safety standards are met in order to avoid injury, loss and damage caused by defects in any Product.

Privacy

Bosch is required to seek personal information from an end user who seeks to make a claim under this warranty.

Such personal information may be used by Bosch and/or any authorised service technician (who is authorised to process warranty 
claims and/or carry out warranty repairs on behalf of Bosch) for the purpose of processing such warranty claim and also for the 
provision of customer support and further information about Bosch’s products and services (Purpose).

If an end user does not wish to provide Bosch and/or its authorised service technician with personal information, Bosch may be 
unable to process the end user’s warranty claim or to provide the end user with additional customer support, services and 
information.

Bosch is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information and will act in compliance with applicable privacy laws, 
including the National Privacy Principles under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended) and New Zealand’s Information 
Privacy Principles described in the Privacy Act 1993 (NZ).

Failure to service Product in accordance with recommendations in instruction manuals for Product may result in a warranty claim 
under this voluntary warranty being rejected by Bosch. Bosch alerts end users that instruction manuals for Product contain 
specific recommendations for servicing and safety checks to be carried out on Product.
