Fire Safety

Save these instructions.

Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

a. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
- The fire department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Gas Safety

To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents.

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

WARNING

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See Warning on page 4.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use. Each of the feet must be placed into the corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters click.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING

Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will spark.

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Do not place any objects on the projecting control panel in front of the burners. The area becomes very hot during cooking.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

CAUTION

To avoid the risk of suffocation: Do not allow children to play with packaging material. Store small parts safely as they can be a choke hazard.

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate some by-products which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

WARNING

Burning gas cooking fuel may create small amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene and formaldehyde. To minimize exposure to these substances, the burners should be adjusted by a qualified installer or agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the appliance according to the instructions in this manual.

After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation. Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from steam.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan. Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.

Burner Cap and Burner Base Placement

After electrical connection is complete, place each burner base on the corresponding location on the cooktop. One of the three bars on the burner base should line up with the notch and prevent the base from rotating. The small hole or cutout near the edge should also line up with the igniter. Pay special attention to avoid damaging the igniter during installation of the base. See Illustration below.

Once each base is located and resting evenly, place each burner cap on its correct burner base. See Illustration.

Do not swap burner caps. These will affect the stability of the flame and make the burner impossible or difficult to light. The smallest burner cap marked "DUAL" is to be used exclusively on the Dual-flame burner. Do not put it on the small burner.

Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner cap.

If the maintop is removed by a certified installer (for example to check electrical or piping connection) the panhead screws that were removed must be re-installed to ensure proper functionality of burners.

To operate

Select the appropriate control knob, push in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame setting. With this motion, burner sparking and gas flow will be initiated. Keep the knob pressed and once the flame appears keep the knob pressed in fully for 2-3 seconds before releasing and adjusting the flame.

Turn off by turning the control knob clockwise to off.

Notes

• It is normal that sparks will appear at all burners.
• The symbol on the control knobs indicates the position recommended for igniting the burner.

●

In Case of Power Failure

In the event of a power failure, the burners may be lit by an alternate flame source. Hold a lit flame source next to the burner gas exit ports, turn corresponding knob to max position, and remove flame source immediately upon burner lighting.

Flame Failure Safety System

Your rangetop is equipped with a safety system that cuts off the gas flow in case of flame extinguishes by accident, i.e. because of a strong draft or high amount of spillage – so preventing an escape of unburned gas. This systems requires certain burner start procedure, see above, which means that the knob has to be pressed in completely for some seconds until the thermocouple at burner is heated up by flame and keeps the gas flow.

Normal Operation - Electronic Ignition

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. All igniters are activated when a control knob is pushed.

CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance, ensure grates are installed exactly per installation instructions and not backwards or upside down.

The igniter should be clean and dry for proper operation.

• Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
• If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without igniting the burner, or even spark continuously when a flame is present.

Note: If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the burner off. Check to see that the burner cap is positioned correctly on the burner base and the igniter is clean and dry. Wait at least 5 minutes before igniting the burner again. If a burner still fails to ignite, see "Before Calling for Service".

Griddle

To cook most foods on the griddle, the surface must be pre-heated. The burner power may require adjustment if the griddle is used for a long time.

Before First Use

Before using your new griddle, wash it in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.

Installing the Griddle

The griddle is customized to fit only on the grates illustrated below.

WARNING

Place and remove the griddle only when all grates and the griddle have cooled down and all burners are off.

Typical flame characteristics

The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should burn completely around the burner cap.

Checking the flame characteristics:

Yellow flames: Further adjustment is required.
Yellow tips on outer cones: Normal for propane gas.
Soft blue flames: Normal for natural gas. Orange flames: Can be normal if certain types of humidifiers are used in the home. Flames should return to blue without the humidifier running.

• If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. Retest after adjustment.
• Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow the appliance to operate for 4–5 minutes and reevaluate before making adjustments.
• Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This should disappear with use. Check the burner to make sure that port holes are not obstructed. If the ports are clogged → Page 30

Note: An audible "pop" may be heard when the burner is turned off manually. The "popping" may be louder with propane gas than with natural gas. This is normal.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Cooking suggestions for best results

• Boil water in covered pot on High using largest burner for best results. If water boils over, turn to a lower setting.
• When melting chocolate or butter, use smallest burner with a water bath for best results.
• When simmering, bring food to a boil first. Stir well to be sure all the food is boiling, then cover and reduce the flame to the desired setting to simmer.
• There should be steam and slight quivering of the liquid's surface while simmering.
• Use a lid to keep a more constant cooking temperature and heat food faster.
• Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
• It is normal to stir food occasionally.
• Center the pan over the burner before turning the burner on.

Notes Regarding Cookware

The following information and tips have been provided to help you save energy and avoid damaging your cookware.

Suitable Cookware

Burner Recommended pan base diameter

Small burner 5” - 8” (127 - 203 mm)
Large burner	7” - 91/2 ” (178 - 240 mm)
Dual-flame burner	7” - 11“ (178 - 280 mm)

Pans with a diameter of less than 4.7" (120 mm) or more than 11.0" (280 mm) should not be used. If you do use larger pans, these should not protrude beyond the edges of the appliance.

Cookware Recommendations

Note: When using certain pots or pans, a slight and temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may occur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality of the appliance.

Proper Cookware

• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
• Steel pan, if not combined with other metals, may cook unevenly.
• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
• Flat heavy bottoms pans provide even heat and stability.
• DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.

Information for Use

Use cooking vessels of appropriate size for the particular burner.

Don't use small cooking vessels on large burners. The flame shouldn't come in contact with the sides of the cooking vessel.

Don't use any deformed cooking vessels that don't stand solidly on the cooktop. The vessels could tip over.

Only use cooking vessels with flat and thick bottoms.

Don't cook without a lid or if the lid is not on all the way. The majority of the heat is lost.

Place the cooking vessel in the center of the burner, otherwise it may tip over.

Don't place large pots on the burners near the stove controls. They could overheat and become damaged.

Place the pots on the pan supports, never directly onto the burners.

Prior to use, ensure that the pan supports and lids of the gas burners are positioned correctly.

Handle vessels carefully on the cooktop.

Don't bang the cooktop and don't place any heavy weights on it.

Never heat a cooking vessel (e.g. roasting tin, pan, cooking stone) with multiple burners, except of the griddle plate. The resulting accumulation of heat causes damage to the appliance.

Cleaning and Maintenance-Cooktop

Cleaning

The entire cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying. If stubborn soil remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods below.

Cleaning recommendations:

• Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
• Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
• Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off and the grates and burners are cool.
• Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self cleaning oven or dishwasher.
• Do not obstruct air flow around cooktop burners, range backguard and door area.

• After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions before using cooktop.

• For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.

• Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters click.
• Do not use flammable cleansers such as lighter fluid.
• Do not use chlorine based cleaners.
• Always test cleaners on a small inconspicuous area first.

CAUTION

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

Oven Features

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may run until the oven has cooled down.

Convection Fan

The convection fan is not available for broiling. You can turn on and off the convection fan by pressing ♦.

Oven light

Your appliance is equipped with an oven light. You can turn the oven light on and off by pressing ⚙️.

Surfaces in the oven cavity

The back wall and side parts in the oven cavity are self-cleaning. You can tell this from the rough surface.

The oven cavity floor and ceiling are enameled and have smooth surfaces.

Notes

• Use an oven tray on the first bottom shelf to collect liquids produced by broiling.
• Use an oven tray to bake food that could release fats or oils, in order to avoid spillage of these substances on the floor plate of the oven.

Self-cleaning surfaces

The self-cleaning surfaces are coated with a porous, matte ceramic layer. This coating absorbs and dispels splashes from baking and roasting while the appliance is in operation.

CAUTION

Do not use oven cleaner on the self-cleaning surfaces. These will damage the surfaces. If oven cleaner does get onto these surfaces, dab it off immediately using water and a sponge cloth. Do not rub the surface and do not use abrasive cleaning aids.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

Aluminum Foil

WARNING

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the oven

• Place oven racks in the required position before heating the oven.
  • Always preheat the oven.
• Allow the oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time.
• When the oven has preheated a beep indicator will sound for 2 seconds. This takes approximately 7-9 minutes.
• Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.

Baking Pans and Dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature by 25°F when using this type of dish. Follow the manufacturers' recommendations.
• Cookie sheets should have at least 1" clearance on all sides.
• Use pans that provide the desired level of browning. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature by 25°F when using this type of pan. Follow the manufacturers' recommendations.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.
• Do not place broil pans or any other heavy objects down on the open oven door.
• Do not store empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this changes the cooking performance. Store pans outside of the oven.

Opening the oven door

Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door.

Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.

Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.

High Altitude Baking

When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.

For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

Condensation

It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Broil

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element. Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed.

The benefits of broiling include:

• Fast and efficient cooking.
  • Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.

Tips

• Preheat oven for 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
  • Steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
• Use broiler pan with grid when broiling.
• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
• Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cooking time. Fish does not need to be turned.
• When browning the top of casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes.
• Never use heat-proof glass; it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

Before Using the Appliance for the First Time

• There may be a slight odor during the first several uses. This is normal and will disappear.
• Read all safety precautions and Use and Care Manual information prior to operating.

Setting the time

Once the appliance is connected to a power supply, 12:00 flashes on the display. Set the time.

Note: The time format can be changed from 12-hour to 24-hour format by pressing the ⏻ button for 5 seconds. (The factory setting is 12-hour format.)

1. Use the ⏻ or ⚠ button to set the time.

Customer Service

Contact our Customer Service if your appliance needs repair. Our Customer Service (see below) will be happy to supply you with details how to obtain a service repair.

Before Calling for Service

Before calling Customer Service, consider the suggestions and instructions below:

CAUTION

Repairs should only be done by an authorized servicer.

Improper repair of your appliance may result in risk of severe physical injury or death.

Problem Suggestion

Burner(s) do not light/igniters do not spark.	·Ensure that the gas shut-off valve is in the “ON” position and the gas supply to the house is not shut off.·Ensure that the burner caps and burner bases and the burner ports are not clogged. Clear ports with a wire or straightened paper clip if clogged.·Make sure the igniters are clean and dry.·Check the power supply. It should be properly grounded with the correct polarity. Ensure that the unit is fully plugged in to the outlet and the circuit breaker is not tripped.
Cooktop burner(s) does not start correctly or flame extinguishes at burner as soon as knob is released.	The pushing time was too short or the pushing was too soft.·Push the knob completely.·Make sure the igniters are clean and dry.·Release the knob after min. 3-5 seconds.·Use the recommended lighting position: ↗·The burner cap not well positioned.·Check the correct placement of the burner caps.·Dirt or moisture on burner, spark plug or thermocouple.·Clean and dry these parts.·Not enough gas in pipe.·Check main gas valves and pressure regulator and make sure that pipes are purged from air.·
The small burner or the dual-flame burner does not light properly or is not stable or extinguishes.	The small burner caps are swapped.·Check the correct placement of the burner caps. → Page 9·The burner cap with the smallest diameter must always be placed in the middle of the dual-flame burner.·If one of your burner caps is marked with "DUAL", it has to be placed in the middle of the dual-flame burner.
Bake / Broil burner(s) do not start correctly, Flame extinguishes at burner as soon knob is released	·Probable reason is, that the knob was not in “OFF” position when initiated. Make sure that the knob is in “OFF” position, then push in the knob completely and hold for at least 2 seconds. Then, keep the knob pushed completely and turn to “Bake” / “Broil” position.·If than flame does not hold, check the burner for being clean and parts attached in right manner.Note: : The knob can be pushed in completely only in “OFF” position. This complete push is mandatory to start the Bake / Broil burner(s) correctly.
Burner flame goes out unexpectedly	Ensure that there is no draft in the room.
Sparks appear on the wrong burner	No fault: On starting one burner on all burners sparks will be generated.
The igniters spark even though the knobs are in the off position	When the electrical power connection has been activated at the first power-up or reconnected after an outage, the igniters may spark once or twice, even though all burner knobs are in the “OFF” position.
Problem Suggestion
Cooking results are not what was expected	Check the level of the cooktop burner during installation.Cooking pan does not fit on the surface being used.The cookware is not the recommended type or size. See "Notes regarding cookware" and "Baking pans and dishes"→Page 21.
Oven door feels hotter as before remove the oven door glass for cleaning	Check if the oven door glass is right way round (low-E symbol can be read).
Oven door is not balanced Check if inner door glass is present/ has been inserted during reassembly.
If the oven is cold with the oven control set to bake or broil.	Check a cooktop burner for a few minutes to be sure gas is flowing to the range. If not, check your LP gas tank or or insulation valve in installation to be open. If gas is available at cooktop burners, probably the start procedure of oven burner was not executed correctly. Make sure that in start procedure the knob is pressed in fully and listen for sparks and gas flow to the according burner.The push and turn feature may be preventing gas flow. Be sure to follow the instructions → Page 19 i.e. Press the control knob in for a few seconds (this gets gas flowing), then turn to bake of broil and release. This lights the gas.The automatic start procedure will stop after 10 sec (no more sparking), than you can check whether flame is generated by opening appliance door (bake burner visible through holes in bottom sheet, broil burner is free). If no flame visible- keep open oven door for 5 minutes, than close and try again.
Broil setting cannot be changed. This is correct, broil has only one setting, marked by the word broil. To reduced or increasing broiling intensity, move the rack up or down. Follow the instructions for racks → Page 10
Oven control knob can turn from Broil to bake temperatures.	This is correct. The control knob can only be turned from broil to bake, or vice versa, via the off position.
Cooling fan continues to run when the oven is switched off.	No fault: The cooling fan will cool down until the oven temperature has reached a specific temperature.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances ("Bosch") in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you ("Product"), provided that the Product was purchased:

• For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.
• New at retail from a BSH authorized dealer or directly from BSH (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
• Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase.

The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty.

Please make sure to register your Product; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts

Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original delivery. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original delivery, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, "As Is", or "B" stock appliances.

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy

During this warranty period, Bosch 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 without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All 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 concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for damage resulting from repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch'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 Bosch).

Nevertheless, taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Bosch will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty. Notwithstanding 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, threatening, 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. Further, to the extent you have installed the Product in a difficult-to-access location or have otherwise installed temporary or permanent fixtures that create barriers to accessing or removing the Product, Bosch will not incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or costs associated with moving the Product or otherwise creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibility.

Out of Warranty Product

Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL 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 FOR THE PERIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HOTELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
