IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When gas burners are in operation without any cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooktop may become damaged or catch fire.

Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them. During simultaneous use of multiple gas burners, a great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located above it can become damaged or catch fire.
Never use two gas burners together at maximum heat for longer than 15 minutes.
One large burner with over 17,000 BTU/hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas burners.

Operating several gas burners at the same time gives rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance may become damaged or catch fire.

The ventilation appliance must only be combined with gas burners that do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000 BTU/hr (18 kW). If 41,000 BTU/hr (12 kW) is exceeded, the local regulations concerning room ventilation, room size, and combination with ventilation devices in exhaust and recirculating operation must be followed.

Hot oil and fat catch fire fast.

Never leave hot oil and fat unsupervised.
Never extinguish a fire with water.
Switch off the cooking position.
- Suffocate flames carefully with a lid, a fire blanket or similar.

WARNING

The accessible parts get hot during operation.

Never touch hot parts.

11 STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

11.1 What this warranty covers & Who it applies to

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

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

The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to register your Product; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

11.2 How long the warranty lasts

Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original delivery. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original delivery, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery or closing date for

new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, "As Is", or "B" stock appliances.

11.3 Repair/replace as your exclusive remedy

During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Bosch's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for damage resulting from repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch's opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Nevertheless, taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Bosch will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. Further, to the extent you have installed the Product in a difficult-to-access location or have otherwise installed temporary or permanent fixtures that create barriers to accessing or removing the Product, Bosch will not incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or costs associated with

moving the Product or otherwise creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibility.

11.4 Out of warranty product

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