In Case of Fire

If materials inside an oven should ignite:

1. Keep door closed
2. Turn appliance off
3. Unplug the appliance or shut off at fuse or circuit breaker

Liquids

Two glassware illustrations: one with a spoon inside water, the other with a black X symbol crossed out (no text or symbols present)

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea could be overheated. They can be heated beyond the boiling point without appearing to boil. For example, visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

When heating liquids, always place a glass rod/spoon in the container. This will prevent delayed boiling.

CAUTION

Metal e.g. a spoon in a glass must be kept at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.

• Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The different components of the meal may not require the same amount of time to heat up.
• Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for your container, use a plate or special microwave foil.
• Stir or turn the food several times during cooking. Check the temperature.
• After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to 5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
• Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing plates from the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Cooking Items

Eggs: Do not cook or reheat whole eggs, with or without shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating sliced hard-boiled eggs and cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Popcorn: Use only popcorn in packages designed and labeled for microwave use, or pop it in a microwave oven corn popper. Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your oven. Do not continue to heat after popping has stopped. Popcorn will scorch or burn. Do not leave oven unattended.

CAUTION

When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, check package weight before using the popcorn function. Set the oven for the weight of the popcorn package. If these instructions are not followed, popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause fire.

Foods with nonporous skins: Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before cooking to prevent them from exploding.

Baby food / Baby formula: Do not heat baby bottles or food in microwave oven. The glass jar or the surface of food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and esophagus.

Deep fat frying: Do not deep fat fry in oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven. Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames. The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Additionally, microwave-safe utensils may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in the utensil shattering, if it contains a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.

Home Canning / Drying foods / Small quantities of

foods: Do not use microwave oven for home canning or heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire. Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.

Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

Browning dishes: Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.

Oven roasting bags: If an oven bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist-ties to close bags, instead use nylon ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 12 " (12.7 mm) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked.

Cooking Utensils

See also Microwave Utensil Guide.

Cooking utensils, the ceramic tray and racks get hot during microwaving. Always use potholders when removing items from the oven. Allow the ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) to cool before handling.

Do not use metal utensils, or dishes with metallic trim in the oven.

When using aluminum foil in the oven, allow at least 1 inch (25 mm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.

The ceramic tray and the metal racks (if used) will get hot during cooking. The cooking container and the ceramic tray can be hot even if the oven is cool.

Never use paper, plastic, or other combustible materials that are not intended for cooking.

When cooking with paper, plastic, or other combustible materials, follow manufacturer's recommendations on product use. Do not use paper towels which contain nylon or synthetic fibers. Heated synthetics could melt and cause paper to ignite.

Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven.

Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before cooking.

Metal Tray Turntable

Do not operate the oven without the metal tray turntable in place.

Verify that the metal tray turntable is properly positioned and turning when the oven is in use. Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result.

Only use the metal tray turntable designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other tray.

Always replace the metal tray in its proper position.

Thermometers

Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

CAUTION

To avoid pacemaker malfunction, consult physician or pacemaker manufacturer about effects of microwave energy on pacemaker.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

WARNING

This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl chloride, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Fan Motor Operation

After using the oven the fan motor can continue to run to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Causes of Damage

NOTICES:

• Metal - e.g. a spoon in a glass - must be kept at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the oven walls and the inside of the door. Sparks could irreparably damage the glass on the inside of the door.
• Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.
• Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.
• Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.
• Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.

• Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation if the door seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.

• Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

• Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance type, accessories can scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories fully into the oven interior.
• Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off, or the hinges can be damaged.
• Operating the microwave without food in the oven cavity may lead to overloading. Never run the microwave unless there is food in the oven cavity. An exception to this rule is a short ovenware test, see section → "Microwave utensil guide", or a Speed Chef mode that needs pre-heating.
• Always set the microwave power as recommended for the food. High power settings can overheat foods very quickly.
• The turntable may jump if overloaded.

Protecting the environment

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.

Tips for saving energy

• Open the appliance door as little as possible while cooking, baking or roasting.
• Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.
• It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf tins next to each other.

Plastic wrap (as a cover) - lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food.

• Microwave-safe plastics:

Microwave-safe plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.

• Paper products:

Paper towels, wax paper, parchment paper, paper napkins and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturers label for any special instructions for use in the microwave oven.

Unsuitable ovenware

• Metal utensils and cookware:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also, avoid metal skewers, thermometers or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

• Metal decoration:

Bowls, cups, serving plates and platters with metallic trim.

- Aluminum foil:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the side walls of the oven cavity and door of the microwave.

- Wood:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets made of wood will react in the same way.

• Tightly covered cookware:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered cookware. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches may explode.

- Brown paper:

Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and can burn.

- Flawed or chipped cooking utensils:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed or chipped may break in the oven.

• Metal twist ties:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire.

Ovenware test

Do not turn on the microwave unless there is food inside. The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.

Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave:

1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for 12 to 1 minute.

2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time. The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.

The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or if sparks are generated.

Suggestions for best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below:

• Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook.

- Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

• Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very efficiently.

- Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. (Constant stirring is not necessary.)

- Turning

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

- Placing food

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

- Arranging food

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

- Letting food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish cooking in the

center and avoids overcooking the outer edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

- Wrapping foods

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped in paper towels or wax paper prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items from drying out while heating.

Convection

Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

You can set a temperature range from 200 to 450°F (100 to 230°C).

Notes

• Use the Speed Chef mode for cooking with microwave and conventional heat combined. You can not combine these two modes manually.
• For best cooking results always use the wire rack with Convection mode.

CAUTION

The oven door and exterior and the wire rack will become hot during Convection. Always use oven mits.

Cookware tips for Convection

• Metal Pans:

Recommended for all types of baked products, especially where browning is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

• Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:

Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Note: Always use the convection rack when using the Convection mode.

Tips for defrosting

WARNING

HEALTH RISK

Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other foods.

• Always enter the weight in lbs when using the defrost by weight feature (0.1 to 6.0 lbs).
• Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.
• Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0^ F (taken directly from a freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5^ F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
• If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
• The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
• Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil, if they start to heat up. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails.
  Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity when defrosting.

Cooking eggs in your microwave

• Never cook eggs in the shell and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode.
• Always pierce yolk on whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
• Cook eggs just until set; they will become tough if overcooked.
  • Cooking scrambled eggs is safe.

Cooking vegetables in your microwave

• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Rarely is extra water needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes or carrots are being cooked, add about 14 cup of water.
• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger vegetables.
• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over halfway through cooking.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several locations before cooking to prevent them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cook time.
• Most of the time, the denser the food, the longer the required standing time. For example, a baked potato should stand for 5 minutes before serving, while a dish of peas may be served immediately.

Cooking seafood in your microwave

Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides

less steaming. And be sure not to overcook fish; check it for doneness at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.

Seafood Power level Cook time Directions

Fish steaks up to 1 12 lbs	medium high (7) 7–11 min. /lb Arrange fish on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the outside of rack. Cover with wax paper. Turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 3–5 mins.
Fish fillets up to 1 12 lbs.	medium high (7) 7–11 min. /lb Arrange fillets in a baking dish, turning any thin pieces under. Cover with wax paper. If over 12 inch thick, turn over and rearrange halfway through cook time. Cook until fish flakes easily with fork. Let stand 2–3 mins.
Shrimp up to 1 12 lbs.	medium high (7) 7–11 min. /lb Arrange shrimp in a baking dish without overlapping or layering. Cover with wax paper. Cook until firm and opaque, stirring 2 or 3 times. Let stand 5 mins.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING

Be sure the entire appliance has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.

Cleaning Guide

• For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven front frame free of food and grease build-up.
• Never use abrasive scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out

with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.

• Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.
• Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.
• Never operate the microwave oven without food in the oven cavity, unless pre-heating with Convection, Pizza, Frozen Foods and Keep Warm mode; this can damage the magnetron tube or ceramic tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.

Part Recommendations

Oven cavity Keep inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap.DO NOTuse harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.For baked-on grease spatters, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Wire rack Wash with	soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-filled pads as directed. The wire rack can also be washed in the dishwasher.
Metal turntable tray	Remove metal turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity and tray.Wash the metal turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Ceramic tray Clean with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Door seal Wipe with damp cloth.
Door glass Wash with	soap and water or glass cleaner. Apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
Painted surfaces Clean with hot soapy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and wipe clean. Avoid using powder cleaning agents, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Stainless steel surfaces/exterior surfaces	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® spray on a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar.
Plastic & Controls When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Printed areas (words & numbers)	Do not use abrasive cleaners or petroleum based solvents.
Black Stainless Surfaces (some models)	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.

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 the Bosch appliance ("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, 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 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 warranty 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.

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, 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 without success, then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in BSH's sole discretion, 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 un-authorized servicer; BSH will have no responsibility or liability 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. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on BSH products, and who possess, in BSH'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 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 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

BSH is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, 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 BSH, 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).
• Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including self-performed "fixing" or exploration of the appliance's internal workings).
• Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind.
• A failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, 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.
• Ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product.

- Any external, elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures surrounding the appliance, and acts of God.

In no event shall BSH have any liability 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 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; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting 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 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 BSH, 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 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. No attempt to alter, modify or amend this warranty shall be effective unless authorized in writing by an officer of BSH.
