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 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 con-
cerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product
yourself, or use an un-authorized servicer; Bosch will have no responsibility or lia-
bility for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to
have someone other than an authorized service provider work on your Product,
THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Autho-
rized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially
trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch 's opinion, a superior rep-
utation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent
entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Not-
withstanding the foregoing, Bosch 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, threaten-
ing, 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.
Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any conces-
sions, including repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has
expired.
Warranty Exclusions: The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that are
not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more of the follow-
ing: (1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and
intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or
storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or
water-going vessels); (2) any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse,
abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or

dling, unauthorized service (including self-performed "fixing" or exploration of the
appliance's internal workings); (4) adjustment, alteration or modification of any
kind; (5) a failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electri-
cal, plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install
the product in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations;
(6) ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other
substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product; and (7) any external,
elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation,
rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive mois-
ture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures
surrounding the appliance, and acts of God. In no event shall Bosch have any lia-
bility or responsibility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, including
cabinetry, floors, ceilings, and other structures or objects around the Product.
Also excluded from this warranty are scratches, nicks, minor dents, and cosmetic
damages on external surfaces and exposed parts; Products on which the serial
numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how
to use the Product, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Product; correc-
tion of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and set-
ting for the Product, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities,
for proper foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation
cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses. TO

OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY
IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY

TIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR CONSE-
QUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMI-
TATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HOTELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS,
