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. DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
e. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

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 HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.

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.

Use only dry potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Use care when opening door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

Placement of oven racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

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.

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.

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 certified 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.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.

This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

WARNING

Failure to operate knobs properly may result in personal injury and damage to the appliance.

This appliance is not intended for operation with an external time switch or external remote control.

Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized service provider.

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 burner7” - 91/2 ” (178 - 240 mm)
Dual-flame burner7” - 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

Two identical illustrations of a cooking pot with a checkmark and a cross symbol, no text or labels present.

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.

Illustration showing two cooking pots with checkmarks and X marks indicating heating conditions

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.

Illustration showing two cooking pots with checkmarks and a crossed-out 'X' symbol, likely indicating cooking or heating.

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

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

General Tips

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.

- 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.

Bake

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature. Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.

Tips

- Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.

  • Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
  • For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1–1 1/2 " space between pans or dishes and oven walls.
  • Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the appliance by the convection fan.

Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.

The benefits of Convection Bake include:

  • Slight decrease in cooking time.
    • Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).

Tips

  • Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides.
  • If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1–1½" of air space around the pan.
  • For cakes, use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see following graphic).

Illustration of four petri dishes in a rack, each containing granular material (no text or symbols)

Multi-Rack

Convection Multi-Rack cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Convection Multi-Rack is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 5 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.

The benefits of Convection Multi-Rack include:

  • Even browning.
  • Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.

Tips

  • Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
  • If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1½" of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.

Proof

In Proof mode, the appliance uses the lower elements to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.

  • No preheating is necessary.
    • Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
  • In Proof mode, the temperature is 85 °F (30 °C) to 125 °F (50 °C).
  • Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.
  • Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.

Pizza

In Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tips

  • When baking a frozen pizza:
    For a crispy crust, place directly on the rack.
    For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
  • When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.
  • Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
  • If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan.
  • If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
  • If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
  • Preheat baking stones following manufacturer's recommendations while the oven is preheating.
  • Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center of the rack.
  • Follow manufacturer's directions for frozen pizza.

Convection Roast

Convection Roast uses heat from the lower elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.

Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.

The benefits of Convection Roast mode include:

- As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes.

- Rich, golden browning.

Tips

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
- Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
- Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease.
- Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
- Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
- If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, foil can be placed over the meat to prevent over-browning.
- Let meat stand covered with foil for 10–15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

Convection Broil

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan.

Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use Convection Broil with the door closed.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Tips

  • Preheat oven for 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
  • Steaks and chops should be at least 1 1/2 thick.
  • Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack for 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.
  • Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

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.

When cool, clean with soapy water or apply Bon-Ami® or Soft Scrub® to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap-filled pads. It is normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil.
Stainless steel surfaces (HGS8.55UC, HDS8.55.)Never allow food stains or salt to remain on stainless steel for any length of time. Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. Clean with a soapy sponge, then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or Formula 409® sprayed onto a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Use Bar Keeper's Friend® to remove heat discoloration. Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some cleansers are corrosive to stainless steel. Check the ingredients on the label.
Black stainless surfaces (HGS8.45UC, HDS8.45.)For black stainless steel and anti-fingerprint surfaces, use a soft, dry towel. For stubborn dirt, use warm water diluted with a non-abrasive, mild cleansing soap. Never use stainless steel polish.
Plastic & controlsWhen cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.

How to Remove the Oven Door Glass

WARNING

  • Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
  • The glass panels are big, heavy and parts are fragile. Use both hands to remove the glass. Handle carefully to avoid breakage.
  • Failure to grasp the glass firmly and properly could result in personal injury or product damage.
  • Do not place the glass on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the glass cannot fall over.

CAUTION

Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers on broken glass.

For easier cleaning the internal glass panes of the door can be removed.

  1. Open the oven door fully.
  2. Lock the two hinges on the left and right using the locking pin. The locking pins must be fully inserted into the holes in the hinges.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a tool interacting with a component (no text or symbols visible)

  1. Remove the internal glass pane by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows (1). This way, the first 2 pins attached to the rear of the glass detach from their housings in the oven door. Then, push the glass pane slightly towards the cooking compartment and pull it upwards (2). This way, the other 2 pins attached to the front of the glass detach from their housings in the oven door.

  1. Clean the external glass pane and the panes removed previously. Use absorbent kitchen roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and neutral detergent.
  2. Reinsert the middle panel.

Notes

  • If the Low-E symbol can be read, the middle panel is inserted correctly.
  • Make sure that the panel is seated correctly. All rubber mounts must lay flat against the outer panel.

  • Reposition the internal glass pane. First insert the front part into the two clips and the 2 pins in the front into their housings. Then insert the 2 pins in the rear into their housings in the oven door by applying slight pressure.

BOSCH HDS8645U - Notes - 1

CAUTION

Do not use with intermediate glass pane not correctly re-fitted.

  1. Remove the locking pins and close the oven door.

How to Remove the Oven Door

BOSCH HDS8645U - How to Remove the Oven Door - 1

WARNING

  • Make sure the oven is cool and the power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
  • The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven door. The door front is glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking.
  • Grasp only the side of the oven door. Do not grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand and cause damage or injury.
  • Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could result in personal injury or product damage.
  • To avoid injury from the hinge bracket snapping closed, make sure that both levers are securely in place before removing the door. Also, do not force the door open or closed – this could damage the hinge or result in injury.
  • Do not place the removed door down on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot fall over.

To avoid injury or damage, make sure that you read the above WARNING before attempting to remove the oven door.

  1. Open the oven door to its fully open position.
  2. Lock the two hinges on the left and right using the locking pin. The locking pins must be fully inserted into the holes in the hinges.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a tool interacting with a component (no text or symbols visible)

  1. Close the oven door until it catches on the hinge stop levers, locking the hinges at the correct angle for door removal. The door can be removed when it is pulled up from the open position by about 8 inches (203 mm). This takes the tension off the spring-loaded hinges so that the door can be easily lifted out.

8" (203)

CAUTION

RISK OF PINCHING

Closing the door by 8" (203 mm) takes the pressure off the spring. If this is not done, the door can still be removed but the latch will now slam shut and will pinch or cut your hand.

  1. The door is heavy. Use both hands to firmly grip it by the sides. Do not grip the door by the handle. Keeping the angle of the door the same, lift the door straight up approximately 3/4" (19 mm) to unhook the hinges from the slots, and then pull it out towards you until the hinges are clear of the oven housing.
  2. Place the door in a convenient and stable location for cleaning.
  3. Refit the door in the reverse order in which it was removed.

Replacing an Cven Light

CAUTION

WHEN REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT:

  • Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and that the power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so may result in electrical shock or burns.
  • Wear gloves.
  • The lenses must be in place when using the appliance.
  • The lenses serve to protect the light bulb from breaking.
  • The lenses are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass may cause an injury.
    • The light socket is live when the door is open.

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 (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 return your registration card; 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 sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original purchase, 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, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase 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 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). 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.

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.

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 following:

  • 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).
