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
Gaggenau products, and who possess, in Gaggenau’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 Gaggenau). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Gaggenau 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, Gaggenau 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.
Extended Limited Warranty :
Sixth thru twelfth year
from date of purchase warranty on sealed refrigeration

defects in materials or workmanship in the sealed
refrigeration system. These parts are compressor,
evaporator, condenser, dryer, and connecting tubing.
Service must be performed by a Gaggenau
designated service company.
