Water softening system / special salt \*

To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7^ dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system

of the dishwasher. The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see following water hardness table).

* optional feature which may or may not be included with your dishwasher.

Adjusting the water softener settings

Using the test strip included with your dishwasher(Purchased test strips may have a different scale)	Water softener setting	Add salt to salt dispenser	Water hardness ^ value mmol/l
	H:00	No 0-8 0-1.1
	H:01	Yes 9-10 1.2-1.4
	H:02	Yes 11-12 1.5-1.8
	H:03	Yes 13-15 1.9-2.1
	H:04	Yes 16-20 2.2-2.9
	H:05	Yes 21-26 3.0-3.7
	H:06	Yes 27-38 3.8-5.4
	H:07	Yes 39-62 5.5-8.9

Adjusting the water softening system

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H:00 to H:07. Salt is not required at the set value H:00.

Set the softening system as follows:

1. Ask your local water utility company for the water hardness value of the tap water.
2. Required setting can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Open the door.
4. Press the ON/OFF button 1.
5. Press the Setup button for 3 seconds until H:00 is shown on the display window 5.
6. Make the selection with setting buttons + - 6.
7. Press and hold the Setup button for 3 seconds. The chosen setting has now been stored.

Using special salt

As soon as the low salt indicator 4 lights up on the digital display, salt should be topped off. Refilling the salt dispenser should be done before switching on the appliance. This ensures that extra salt water is washed out and will not corrode the rinsing tank.

NOTICE: Detergent will destroy the water softening system! Never pour detergent into the salt dispenser.

Top off the salt as follows:

1. Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 26.

2. Fill the dispenser with water (required only when switching on the appliance for the first time).

3. Add salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or tablets).

The water is displaced and runs out.

For more information about buying dishwasher salt, please contact Customer Service 1-800-944-2904.

Using detergents with salt component

If combined detergents with a salt component are used, special salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21^ dH ( 37^ fH, 26^ Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21^ dH, salt must be used.

Switching off low salt indicator / water softening system

If the use of combined detergents with a salt component impairs the low salt indicator on the digital display 5, the low salt indicator can be switched off.

Proceed as described under "Setting water softening system" and set the value to H:00. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

Rinse Aid

As soon as the low rinse aid indicator 3 lights up on the control panel, rinse aid should be topped off. The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid which the manufacturer designates as safe to use in domestic dishwashers. Combined detergents with rinse aid component may be used with soft to moderately hard water only (0-2 bands on test strip or up to an °E value of 20). For moderately hard to hard water (3 to 4 bands on test strip or °E value of 21 or higher), rinse aid must be used.

Adding rinse aid

NOTICE: To avoid oversuding or clogging, do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser [29]. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

1. Open the rinse aid dispenser 29 by pressing on the latch of the lid and pulling it open.

Diagram of a device with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating components

1. Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser 29 until it is full. Do not overfill. Avoid spilling into air vent hole.

air vent max

1. Close the lid. Lid must be fully closed until it clicks in order to seal.

2. Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may have puddled when the dispenser reservoir is full.

This prevents excessive frothing during the next wash cycle. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door is shut.

Tip: For easier pouring, remove lid from the rinse aid bottle.

NOTICE: Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser 29 with detergent. Doing so will damage the dishwasher.

Setting the amount of rinse aid used

The amount of rinse aid to be dispensed can be set from r:00 to r:06. Set the amount of rinse aid to be dispensed to r:05 to obtain a very good drying result. Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless there are streaks or water stains on the utensils. Set a lower level to avoid streaks. Set a higher level to avoid water stains.

Set the amount of rinse aid as follows:

1. Open the door.
2. Press on ON/OFF button 1.
3. Press the Setup button for 3 seconds until H:00 is shown on the display window 5.
4. Keep pressing the Setup button until the rinse aid setting, r:05 is displayed.
5. Change the setting with the setting buttons + - 6.
6. Press and hold the Setup button for 3 seconds. The chosen setting has now been stored.

Note: Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless there are streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) visible on the utensils.

Turning off rinse aid indicator

Proceed as described in the section "Setting the amount of rinse aid used" and set value to r:00 . The rinse aid indicator is now turned off.

NOTICE: Using no rinse aid or setting the dispenser to r :00 may result in longer cycle times consuming more energy and water. The higher temperatures and longer cycle times can damage fine china or glassware.

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.

NOTICE: To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware:

• Do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
• Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware and fine china.
• To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle (depending on the model) and use a detergent that includes etch protection.

This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the following table.

Wash Cycle Hard Water/Heavy Soil		MediumWater/MediumSoil	Soft Water/Little Soil
Auto 3 tbsp(45 ml)		1.75-3 tbsp(25-45 ml)	1-1.75 tbsp(15 - 25 ml)

*The cycle is sanitized when Sanitize option is used.

Note: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid dispenser [29] . A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent dispenser [30] , with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.

Dishwasher Cycle Options

PowerBoost®

Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower rack together with normally soiled utensils in the upper rack. The spray pressure in the lower rack is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly.

Half Load

Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half or less of the dishwasher's capacity.

Sanitize

Increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra long time to obtain a defined disinfecting performance. Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning items such as chopping boards and baby bottles.

Using the Sanitize option may also improve drying. The cycle time and energy usage may be increased.

Extra Dry

An increased temperature during the final rinse and an extended drying phase ensure that plastic parts dry better. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption.

Extra Shine

Produces superior results for shiny glasses and dishes, with a slight increase in water usage. For best results, use with rinse aid.

Wash Cycle Information

To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are based on 120^ F ( 49^ C) water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120^ F ( 49^ C), your dishwasher’s cycle times may be impacted.

Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of Section 6 of the NSF/ANSI 184 Standard for Residential Dishwashers for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, to imply that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests.

Operating the Dishwasher

Note: With hidden controls, the door must be opened before changing settings and closed after changing settings.

WARNING

RISK OF INJURY

To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

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

Protection against unintentional operation

Your dishwasher is equipped with a function that helps to prevent unintentional operation (e.g. by children).

After starting the dishwasher, the dishwasher door has to be closed within 4 seconds, otherwise the operation will be paused. There will be a signal on the control panel advising you to press the Start button again and close the door.

This function will be activated when:

• pressing Start to begin a wash cycle
• setting Delay time and pressing Start
• opening the door while Delay time is active
• opening the door during a wash cycle.

Note: This function cannot be deactivated.

Operating the touch buttons

Buttons are sensitive and should be touched gently. Avoid any grease or food particles resting on the buttons as they could activate the dishwasher.

Wiping and cleaning can also activate the dishwasher. For best results, use bare, clean hands when touching the buttons.

To clean the touch buttons wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Changing the settings

The dishwasher has been preset with certain settings for your convenience. You can change these factory settings.

Here's how to change the settings:

1. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
2. Press and hold the setup 3 sec. button for 3 seconds. In the display window 5 you will see H:0... and set.
3. Press the setup 3 sec. button to access the individual settings.
4. Adjust the setting using the buttons - and + 6.
5. Press and hold the setup 3 sec. button for 3 seconds. The chosen setting has now been stored in your dishwasher.

AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which measures the cleanliness of the rinse water.

The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If the AquaSensor is active, “clean” rinse water can be transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can be reduced by 0.8–1-5 gal (3–6 liters). If the rinse water is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.

Sensor setting

In its automatic programs the appliance uses sensors to optimise their operation. The sensors adjust the strength of the automatic programs according to the amount and type of soiling. You can choose from three levels of sensitivity for the sensors.

Sensor setting SE:00: This setting is ideal for a mixed load and heavily soiled utensils, but it also saves energy and water.

Sensor setting SE:01: This setting adjusts the programme strength for the effective removal of food remnants, even if the amount of soiling is low. The energy and water consumption is adjusted accordingly.

Sensor setting SE:02: This setting adjusts the program strength for difficult conditions of use, for example firmly dried on food remnants. This setting is recommended if you are using biological or eco detergents which contain smaller quantities of active agents. The energy and water consumption is adjusted accordingly.

Time display

When a wash cycle is selected the remaining wash cycle time is shown on the display 5.

The wash cycle time is determined during the wash cycle by the water temperature, the amount of dishes, as well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending on the selected wash cycle).

Delay Start

You can delay the start of the cycle in one hour increments up to 24 hours.

h:01 1 hour delay

h:24 24 hours delay

To set Delay start:

1. Open the door and press the On/Off button 1. Select a cycle.

2. Press the Delay button from the wash cycle options 9 until the displayed time corresponds with your requirements.

3. Press the Start button 10 to activate Delay start.

To cancel Delay start:

1. Open the door and press the Delay button until h:00 is indicated on the digital display 5.

2. Press the Start button 10 to save setting.

Wash cycle end

The wash cycle has ended when the display 5 reads 0:00.

If the signal tone has been set, the wash cycle end is also indicated by a buzzer.

SL:00 Off

5L:01 low

SL:02 medium

SL:03 loud

Auto power off

To save energy, the dishwasher is switched off 1 minute after the cycle ends. You can also change this setting.

Possible settings are:

• P:00: The dishwasher does not switch off automatically.
• P:01: The dishwasher switches off after 1 minute.
  • P:02: The dishwasher switches off after 2 hours.

Switching off the appliance

Short time after the end of the wash cycle:

1. Open the door.
2. Switch off On/Off button 1.
3. Turn off water supply.
4. Remove the utensils when they have cooled down.

WARNING

RISK OF INJURY

To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

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

Interrupting the wash cycle

CAUTION

Expansion (overpressure) may cause the appliance door to open and/or water to escape! If the door was opened on an appliance which has a hot water connection or is heated, always leave the door ajar for several minutes and then close.

1. Open the door.
2. Switch off On/Off switch 1.
   The LED's go out. The wash cycle is saved.
3. To continue the wash cycle, switch on the On/Off switch 1 again.
4. Close the door.

Note: Your dishwasher is protected against unintentional operation. If the appliance door remains open for more than 4 seconds after pressing the Start button, the operation will be paused. Press the Start button again and close the appliance door.

Cancel a cycle (Reset)

1. Open the door and press and hold Start button 10 for approximately 3 seconds until the display reads 0:01, then close door again.
2. Wait about 1 minute while the dishwasher drains.
3. Open the door and press the On/Off button 1.

Changing the wash cycle

When the Start button 1 has been pressed, the wash cycle cannot be changed. The only way a wash cycle can be changed is by terminating the wash cycle (Reset).

Intensive drying

The final rinse uses a higher temperature which improves the drying result (be careful if you have delicate dishware or utensils). The running time may increase slightly. You can switch the function ExtraDry on d:01 or off d:00.

InfoLight® \*

While the wash cycle is running, a light spot shines on the floor under the appliance door. Do not open the appliance door until the light point is no longer visible on the floor. If the appliance door is not completely closed, the light spot flashes. In darkened rooms, some light scattering may be visible; this is normal.

You can switch the Infolight on 1:01 or off 1:00.

* optional feature which may or may not be included with your dishwasher.

Time Remaining Power Beam® (Optical display while the wash cycle is running) \*

While wash cycle is running, an optical display (time remaining alternating with cycle indicator images) is projected onto the floor under the appliance door. You can switch the optical display on 5:01 or off 5:00.

Care and Maintenance

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents future problems.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a small amount of liquid soap is adequate.
• For stainless steel appliances (excluding black stainless), use a stainless steel polish to seal and protect the surface.
• Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.
• Clean the door seal regularly with a damp cloth to remove food particles that may collect from normal loading and cause odor. A soiled door seal may not seal properly.

NOTICES

• Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage.
• Do not use sponges as they could scratch the surfaces.
• Do not use bleach-based cleaners or wipes as they could damage the surface or printing.
• Do not use stainless steel polish on a black stainless finish.

WARNING

Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp.

Filters

Filter components

The filter system 27 consists of three parts.

A B C

A Large Object Trap

Prevents objects that should not be placed in your dishwasher from damaging the dishwasher pump system or clogging your household drain.

B Flat Fine Filter

Prevents food particles from entering the wash chamber and directs particles toward the micro filter.

C Micro Filter

Directs the smallest of particles to the household plumbing drain.

Cleaning intervals

The filter system 27 is designed to minimize maintenance while providing premium cleaning performance and minimum energy consumption.

Depending on use habits and water hardness, the filter system will require some maintenance to sustain premium cleaning performance.

Your filter system may need to be cleaned when:

• You notice food soils remaining on the filter system or objects trapped in the Large Object Trap.
• A drop in cleaning performance or a gritty film forms on the dishware.

When washing normally attached food soils that have been scraped before loading, in a household that runs the dishwasher every other day, your filter should be cleaned:

Cleaning interval Usage

3-6 times a year light to average use

8-12 times a year heavy use

Note: Clean the filter after washing loads with large amounts of food soils or loads with a heavy starch content to maintain optimal performance.

To check or clean the filter system:

1. After each wash cycle check the filters for residue.
2. Unscrew the Large Object Trap as illustrated and remove the entire filter system.

Statement of Limited Product Warranty

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to:

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (Thermador ^® ) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Thermador 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; and
• 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.

Thermador reserves the right to request proof of purchase at the time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm that the Product falls within the scope of this limited product warranty.

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

How Long the Warranty Lasts

Thermador warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of seven hundred thirty (730) days (2 years) 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.

Extended Limited Warranty

BSH also provides these additional limited warranties:

• 5 year limited warranty on electronics: BSH will repair or replace any BSH microprocessor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).
• 5 year limited warranty on dish racks: BSH will replace the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack components), if the rack proves defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).
• Lifetime warranty against stainless steel rust through: BSH will repair or replace your dishwasher with the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in functionality, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes labor charges).
• BSH will repair or replace the stainless steel door if the door should rust through (excludes labor charges).

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy

During this warranty period, Thermador 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 a reasonable number attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Thermador will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Thermador's sole discretion, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the property of Thermador 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. Thermador's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Thermador-authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Thermador highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an unauthorized servicer; Thermador 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 Thermador products, and who possess, in Thermador'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 Thermador). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Thermador 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, Thermador 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

Thermador 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 Thermador, 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 Thermador 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.
