Statement of Limited Product Warranty
What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to:
The limited warranty provided by BSH
Home Appliances Corporation (BSH) 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: (1) for your normal, household (non-commer-
cial) 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 war-
ranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety
notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts:
BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred 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. Labor
and shipping costs are included in this basic coverage.
Extended Limited Warranty:
BSH also provides these additional limited warranties:
• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: BSH will repair or replace any BSH microproces-
sor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship
(excludes labor charges).
• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Dish Racks: BSH will replace the upper or lower dish rack
(excluding rack components), if the rack proves defective in materials or workmanship
(excludes labor charges).
• Lifetime Warranty against Stainless Steel Rust Through: BSH will replace your dish-
washer with the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better
in functionality, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes labor charges).
• BSH will replace the stainless steel door if the 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.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy:
During this warranty period, BSH 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 with-
out success, then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in
the sole discretion of BSH, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall
become the property of BSH 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 shall not be
extended with respect to such parts. BSH’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to
repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a BSH-authorized service provider during
normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, BSH highly recommends
that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an unauthorized servicer; BSH
will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized ser-
vicer. 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 ser-
vice providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on BSH prod-
ucts, and who possess, in the opinion of BSH, a superior reputation for customer service and
technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affili-
ates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH 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 authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or
treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, BSH
would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service pro-
vider, 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.
