IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR'S USE.

INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE UNIT FOR THE OWNER.

OWNER: PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING

When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed including those in the following pages.

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. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

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

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

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

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

WARNING

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

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

During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually.

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.

WARNING

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on for SGS and SGSP models. One igniter sparks on SGSX and SGSXP when 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. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and contact an authorized service technician to diagnose the issue. See Warning, \~ "Gas Appliance Safety" on page 5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Burn Prevention

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

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

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).

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.

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 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

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde and Soot. 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 unit according to the instructions in this manual.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Sealed STAR™ Burners

Your new cooktop has sealed STAR™ gas burners. There are no burner parts under stainless steel to clean, disassemble or adjust. Your cooktop has three different burner sizes: small, medium, and large. Match the corresponding letters on the burner cap and burner base. See Burner Cap Placement.

STAR™ Burner Caps

The burner cap is porcelain coated steel. The burner caps must be properly placed for the cooktop to function properly. If the burner cap is not properly placed, one or more of the following problems may occur:

• Burner flames are too high.
  • Flames shoot out of burners.
  • Stainless steel discolors.
• Burners do not ignite.
• Burner flames light unevenly.
• Burner emits gas odor.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps, all burner bases and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING

To prevent burns, do not touch burner caps, burner bases or grates while hot. Turn the cooktop off and allow the burners to cool.

Burner Cap Placement

Each cap has a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the underside of the cap that corresponds to a letter (B, D, or F) cast in the burner base that is attached to the appliance.

• Place each burner cap on its correct burner base per its corresponding letter designation.
• Place burner cap gently on top of burner base so that the prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner cap.

Operation

About the Appliance

Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such as boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sautéing.

WARNING

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde and soot. To minimize exposure to these substances, the burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or authorized servicer 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 unit according to the instructions in this manual.

Normal Operation - Electronic Ignition/Reignition

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. If a burner flame blows out during use, the burner will automatically reignite.

CAUTION

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

The igniter should be clean and dry for proper operation.

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

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

When a flame is present and a Low setting is used, the igniter may occasionally spark. This is normal.

CAUTION

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

Typical Flame Characteristics

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

Checking Flame Characteristics:

Yellow flames:

Further adjustment is required.

Yellow tips on outer cones:

Normal for LP Gas.

Soft blue flames:

Normal for Natural Gas.

• If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment, retest.
• Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow unit to operate 4 to 5 minutes and re-evaluate before making adjustments.
• Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This should disappear with use. Check burner to make sure port holes are not obstructed. If the ports are clogged. → "Before Calling for Service" on page 25

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

General Tips

Proper Cookware

• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
• Steel pans, 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 bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
• DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or ridged as they heat unevenly.

Choosing Suitable Cookware

Cookware Recommendations

Pan Bottom Diameter

WARNING

PREVENTING BURNS FROM HOT KNOBS

Ensure the cookware does not exceed the size of the grates. Cookware that is larger than the grates may cause the flames to get too close to the knobs creating a burn hazard when touched.

• The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller.
• Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can spread up the sides of the pan.
• Oversized pans that span two burners should not exceed the size of the grates and should be placed front to back, not side to side.

Diagram illustrating cooking process with a pot on a stove and warning symbols for heating and safety.

Use Balanced Pans

• Balance is important for stability and even cooking.
- Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking or wobbling.
• Center pan over burner.

Two-panel illustration showing a cooking pan on a stove, one with checkmark and the other with X (no text or symbols)

Proper Fitting Lid

• A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.
- For best cooking results, always use a lid when boiling water.

Two-panel illustration showing a cooking pot on a stove with a checkmark and a cross mark, no text or symbols present.

Specialty Cookware

Pans that span 2 burners, (i.e. griddles, roasters, fish poachers, etc.) may be used when placed front to back. For all models, use the Thermador accessory griddle (Model SGRIDDLEW) on the center burner only. See Parts and Accessories section for further information.

Use a wok with a flat bottom. Round bottom woks (with a maximum 16 inch diameter) can be used with the Thermador accessory support wok ring (Model SWOKRINGW). See Parts and Accessories section for further information.

Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same requirements as described above. After bringing contents to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil or pressure (for pressure canners or cookers)

Cooking Recommendations for Your Cooktop

Beverages

Beverages should be heated to a boil on High heat, and then simmered on a lower setting. If the beverage is held on Low (or ExtraLow) to keep warm, stir approximately every 10 minutes to prevent sticking or burning. You can find the ideal settings for several beverages in the Standard Burner and ExtraLow Cooking Tables. Use a lower setting if the pan is covered.

Breads

Breads (i.e. French toast and grilled sandwiches) are best cooked using a preheated skillet or griddle on Medium heat. Once the pan is preheated, begin cooking breads according to ideal settings in the Standard Burner Cooking Table. From batch to batch, the heat setting may need to be adjusted for optimal browning.

Deep Frying

Deep Frying is recommended on the large burner on Medium High heat. The heat setting may need to be adjusted to maintain oil temperature. You can find the ideal settings for several deep fried foods in the Standard Burner Cooking Table.

Sauces, Soups and Stocks

Sauces, Soups, and Stocks should be heated to a boil on High heat and then simmered on a lower setting. When heating cream sauces on your cooktop, use a lower setting than tomato sauces to prevent scorching. If sauce, soup or stock is held on Low (or ExtraLow) to keep warm, stir approximately every 10 minutes to prevent sticking or burning. You can find the ideal settings for several sauces, soups and stocks in the Standard Burner and ExtraLow Cooking Tables. Use a lower setting if the pan is covered.

Vegetables, Side Dishes and Eggs

Steamed vegetables are easy to make on your cooktop. Bring the water and vegetable to a boil with a lid on High heat, then turn down to a lower setting until tender.

Cereals and rice should be cooked on the large or medium burner on High heat, and then finished according to the recipe instructions or until liquid is absorbed. Cereals and rice can both be simmered using ExtraLow. Pasta is best cooked on the large burner. Using High heat with a lid, bring water to a boil. Once pasta is added, the heat may need to be turned down to prevent boil over.

When cooking scrambled or fried eggs melt butter on Medium High, and then add eggs to cook to desirable doneness. You can find the ideal settings for several of these dishes in the Standard Burner and ExtraLow Cooking Tables.

Meat, Fish and Poultry

In the Standard Burner and ExtraLow® Cooking Tables, the ideal heating setting for any meat, fish or poultry can be found. The cooking time depends on the amount, composition and temperature of the food. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first or increase the temperatures throughout cooking.

Below are a few recommendations when cooking meat, fish and poultry on the cooktop:

• Meats are best cooked on the large burner.
- It is recommended to use a preheated skillet when pan frying meats.
- Cook bacon and sausage patties on Medium High until meat starts to sizzle, and then turn heat down to Medium.
- Simmering: Bring liquid to a boil on High, and then simmer covered on Medium Low to Low (or ExtraLow®) until meat is tender.
- Braising: Brown meat on Medium High, and then simmer covered on Medium Low to Low (or ExtraLow®) until meat is tender.
- Poaching: Bring liquid to a boil on High heat, and then simmer covered on Low or ExtraLow until meat is cooked through.

Desserts

Chocolate is best melted using ExtraLow® (see ExtraLow® Cooking Table for appropriate setting). If the cooktop does not have ExtraLow®, chocolate should be melted using a double boiler on the small burner.

Standard Burner Cooking

The table lists the optimal heating setting for various dishes. The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount, composition and temperature of the food. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at first. During cooking heat may be increased.

ExtraLow® Burner Cooking (SGSX and SGSXP Models Only)

The Center and Left Front burners are enhanced with the ExtraLow® (XLO) feature. When the control knob is set within one of the five XLO settings, the flame cycles ON and OFF automatically. This cycling is normal and allows simmering, poaching, melting or holding cooked food without scorching or burning.

How They Work

There are five XLO settings that vary in heating level. The XLO settings gradually decrease in heating level as the knob is turned to the right of the LO position.

The burner flame will cycle ON and OFF during each minute when the control knob is at any one of the five XLO settings. The time the flame is ON depends on the XLO setting. XLO 5 has the highest heating level of the XLO settings so the flame is ON for the longest amount of time. As the knob is turned counterclockwise, the amount of time the flame is ON will decrease.

Each XLO setting can be set by turning the appropriate control knob to the desired XLO setting (see ExtraLow® Setting Locations below). A slight catch will be felt at the LO position and each designated XLO setting.

The table lists the optimal heating setting for various dishes. The temperature and cooking time depend on the amount, composition and temperature of the food.

Setting ranges are indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values first. Heat can be increased during cooking.

• Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
• It is normal to stir food occasionally. This is especially important when simmering for several hours, such as homemade sauce or beans.
• Simmer bubbles may not be seen when the flame has cycled OFF.
• While the flame is ON, there may be bubbling. There should be at least steam and a slight quivering of the liquid's surface.
• Use a lower XLO setting if the pan is covered.
• When lowering the flame setting, adjust it one XLO setting at a time.
• If a setting is too low to hold a simmer, bring the food back to a boil before resetting to a higher heat.
• If an oversized pan is used, the simmer action may occur more in the center. For even cooking, stir the food around the outer edges into the food in the center.
• The quantity and type of food affects which setting to use.

Cooking Tips

Water is taking too long to boil.	Use room temperature water.Boil water on largest burner with lid.
Water is boiling over.	Turn burner down to Medium High or Medium to prevent water from boiling over.If pot has a lid on, remove lid before turning burner down.
Frying oil is splattering on to cooktop.	Turn burner down to Medium or Medium Low to stop splattering.Use a splatter screen to keep cooktop clean.
Food is sticking or burning to pan.	Use lower heat setting or XLO.Stir food often to prevent sticking or burning.
Food is not staying warm during hold on Low or ExtraLow®	Use a lid to keep food warm on Low or XLO.Turn burner to a higher heat setting to keep food at desired temperature.
Pan is taking too long to heat up.	Use a burner that is a similar size to your pan.Center the pan over the burner before turning the burner on.Turn burner to a higher setting to heat pan quicker.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning

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

36" Model (91cm)

Note: 36" model is for cleaning reference only. Cleaning process is the same for all models.

Cleaning recommendations:

• Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
- Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
- Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off and the grates and burners are cool.
- Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self cleaning oven or dishwasher.
• After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions before using cooktop.
- For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.
- Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters click.
- Do not use flammable cleansers such as lighter fluid.

CAUTION

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

WARNING

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on for SGS and SGSP models. One igniter sparks on SGSX and SGSXP when burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

Troubleshooting Chart

Problem Suggestion
Burner(s) do not light / igniters do not spark	Make sure that the gas shut off valve is in the “ON” position and the gas supply to the house is not shut off.To operate knob, select the appropriate control knob and push down. A clicking noise will occur immediately after pushing the knob. Turn knob counterclockwise to the HI setting to ignite the flame. Continue turning knob counterclockwise to desire flame size. Push down and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. Turn off by turning the control knob clockwise to OFF.Make sure the burner caps and burner bases and the burner ports are not clogged. Clear ports with a wire or straightened paper clip if clogged.Make sure the igniters are clean and dry.Check the power supply. It should be properly grounded with the correct polarity. Make sure the unit is fully plugged in to the outlet and the circuit breaker is not tripped.If the burner flame goes out unexpectedly, make sure there is not a draft in the room.
Igniters spark even though knobs are in the off position	When the electrical power connection has been activated at the first power up or reconnected after an outage, the igniters may spark once or twice, even though all burner knobs are in the “OFF” position.Make sure all burner knobs are not stuck or pushed down. This will cause sparking in the OFF position.

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 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.
• 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.

BSH 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 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 seven hundred and thirty (730) 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 sixty (60) 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).

• 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.

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.
