- Do not cover the oven cavity bottom with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper.

- Do not place accessories on the oven cavity bottom. Do not allow aluminum foil in the oven cavity to come into contact with the door glass, it could cause permanent discoloration.

Never pour water into the oven cavity when it is still hot. Never place cookware containing water on the oven cavity bottom.

The prolonged presence of moisture in the oven cavity leads to corrosion.

• Allow the oven cavity to dry after use.
• Do not keep moist food in the oven cavity for a long time with the door closed.
  ▶ Do not store food in the oven cavity.

Leaving the appliance to cool down with the door open will damage the front of neighboring kitchen units over time.

▶ Always allow the oven cavity to cool down with the door closed after cooking at high temperatures. Only leave the oven cavity to dry with the door open if a lot of moisture was produced during operation.

▶ Take care not to trap anything in the appliance door. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed.

- When baking very juicy fruit pies, do not pack too much on the baking tray.

If the seal is very dirty, the appliance door will not close properly when the appliance is in operation. This may damage the front of adjacent kitchen units.

• Keep the seal clean at all times.
• Never operate the appliance if the seal is damaged or missing.

Sitting or placing objects on the appliance door may damage it.

• Do not place or hang objects on the appliance door.
• Do not place cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

With certain models, accessories may scratch the door glass when closing the appliance door.

▶ Always push accessories fully into the oven cavity.
Carrying the appliance by the door handle could break it. The door handle cannot support the weight of the appliance.

- Do not carry or hold the appliance by the door handle.

2.2 Preventing cooktop damage

NOTICE:

OPERATIONAL FAULT.

▶ Always turn the control knob to the OFF position when the appliance is not being used.

Overheating can damage the cookware.

▶ Do not heat empty pots or pans.
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
- Never cover the cooktop, for example with aluminum foil or oven protectors.

• Do not place roasters, frying pans or grill stones on more than one burner at a time.
  ▶ Only use the accessories specified.

Acidic liquids such as lemon juice or vinegar may damage the surface finish of the appliance.

- Remove spilled liquids immediately. Use caution while the burners are still hot.

Heat may cause damage to adjacent appliances or furniture. If the appliance is in operation for an extended period, heat and moisture will be generated. Additional ventilation is required.

- Open the window or switch on an extractor hood that discharges the extracted air and moisture outside the building.

3 Environmental protection and energy-saving

3.1 Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy when using the oven

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less energy.

Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recommended settings tell you to do so.

√ Not preheating the appliance can reduce the energy used.

Use dark-colored, black-coated or enameled baking pans.

√ These types of baking pans absorb the heat particularly well.

Open the appliance door as little as possible during operation.

√ This will maintain the temperature in the oven cavity and eliminate the need for the appliance to reheat.

When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or at the same time.

√ The oven cavity is heated after baking the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the second dish.

If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time ends.

√ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking the dish.

Remove any accessories that are not being used from the oven cavity.

√ An extra pan without food affects the browning and cooking.

Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.

√ This will save the energy that would otherwise be required to defrost it.

3.3 Saving energy when using the cooktop

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less energy.

Select a cookware diameter that matches the burner. Center the cookware on the burner.

Tip: Cookware manufacturers usually state the top diameter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware base is usually smaller.

√ The energy is targeted at the cookware. If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted. If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to heat up the cookware.

Close cookware with a fitting lid.

√ Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.

Only lift the lid when necessary.

√ If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.

Use a glass lid.

√ If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware without lifting the lid.

Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.

√ Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption.

Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook.

√ Cookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.

Cook with a small amount of water.

√ More water requires more energy to heat it up.

Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking.

√ For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.

Burner cap and burner base placement

After electrical connection is complete, place each burner base on the corresponding location on the cooktop.

One of the three bars on the burner base should line up with the notch and prevent the base from rotating. The small hole or cutout near the edge should also line up with the igniter. Pay special attention to avoid damaging the igniter during installation of the base. See Illustration below.

Once each base is located and resting evenly, place each burner cap on its correct burner base. See Illustration.

Note: Do not swap burner caps. These will affect the stability of the flame and make the burner impossible or difficult to light. The smallest burner cap marked "DUAL" is to be used exclusively on the Dual-flame burner. Do not put it on the small burner.

Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of the burner cap.

If the maintop is removed by a certified installer (for example to check electrical or gas connection) the panhead screws that were removed must be re-installed to ensure proper functionality of burners.

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 the flame characteristics:

Yellow flames:Further adjustment is required.
Yellow tips on outer cones:Normal for propane gas.
Soft blue flames:Normal for natural gas.Orange flames:Can be normal if certain types of humidifiers are used in the home. Flames should return to blue without the humidifier running.

Note

- If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. Retest after adjustment.

• Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial startup. Allow the appliance to operate for 4–5 minutes and reevaluate before making adjustments.
  ■ Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame during initial use. This should disappear with use. Check the burner to make sure that port holes are not obstructed. If the ports are clogged.
  → "Customer Service", Page 43
• An audible "pop" may be heard when the burner is turned off manually. The "popping" may be louder with propane gas than with natural gas. This is normal.

7 Cooktop operation

Here you will find out everything you need to know about operating your cooktop.

7.1 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 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.

7.2 To operate

Select the appropriate control knob, push in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame setting.

With this motion, burner sparking and gas flow will be initiated. Keep the knob pressed and once the flame appears keep the knob pressed in fully for 2-3 seconds before releasing and adjusting the flame.

Turn off by turning the control knob clockwise to off.

Notes

■ It is normal that sparks will appear at all burners.
■ The symbol on the control knobs indicates the position recommended for igniting the burner.

7.3 In case of power failure

In the event of a power failure, the burners may be lit by an alternate flame source.

Hold a lit flame source next to the burner gas exit ports, turn corresponding knob to max position, and remove flame source immediately upon burner lighting.

7.4 Flame failure safety system

Your cooktop is equipped with a safety system that cuts off the gas flow in case the flame extinguishes by accident, (i.e. because of a strong draft or high amount of spillage), preventing an escape of unburned gas. This system requires that the knob has to be pressed in completely for 2-3 seconds until the thermocouple is heated up by the flame and keeps the gas flowing.

7.5 Normal operation - electronic ignition

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. All igniters are activated when a control knob is pushed.

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 → Page 14. Check that the igniter is clean and dry. Wait at least 5 minutes before igniting the burner again. If a burner still fails to ignite, see “Before Calling for Service”.

7.6 Before first use

Before using your new griddle, wash it in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.

7.7 Getting the most out of your appliance

Cooking suggestions for best results

■ Boil water in covered pot on High using largest burner for best results. If water boils over, turn to a lower setting.
- When melting chocolate or butter, use smallest burner with a water bath for best results.
- When simmering, bring food to a boil first. Stir well to be sure all the food is boiling, then cover and reduce the flame to the desired setting to simmer.
- There should be steam and slight quivering of the liquid's surface while simmering.
■ Use a lid to keep a more constant cooking temperature and heat food faster.
- 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.
■ Center the pan over the burner before turning the burner on.
■ Use proper cookware.

■ Refer to the settings recommendations in the following chart for suggested settings.

7.10 Notes regarding cookware

The following information and tips have been provided to help you save energy and avoid damaging your cookware.

Suitable cookware

Burner Recommended pan base diameter

Small burner 5" - 8" (127 - 203 mm)

Large burner 7" - 9 12 " (178 - 240 mm)

Dual-flame burner 7" - 11" (178 - 280 mm)

Pans with a diameter of less than 4.7" (120 mm) or more than 11.0" (280 mm) should not be used. If you do use larger pans, these should not protrude beyond the edges of the appliance.

Cookware recommendations

Note: When using certain pots or pans, a slight and temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may occur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality of the appliance.

Proper Cookware

■ Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat evenly.
■ Steel 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.

Information for use

	Use cooking vessels of appropriate size for the particular burner. Don't use small cooking vessels on large burners. The flame shouldn't come in contact with the sides of the cooking vessel.
	Don't use any deformed cooking vessels that don't stand solidly on the cooktop. The vessels could tip over. Only use cooking vessels with flat and thick bottoms.
	Don't cook without a lid or if the lid is not on all the way. The majority of the heat is lost.
	Place the cooking vessel in the center of the burner, otherwise it may tip over. Don't place large pots on the burners near the stove controls. They could overheat and become damaged.
	Place the pots on the pan supports, never directly onto the burners. Prior to use, ensure that the pan supports and lids of the gas burners are positioned correctly.
	Handle vessels carefully on the cooktop. Don't bang the cooktop and don't place any heavy weight on it.
	Never heat a cooking vessel (e.g. roasting tin, pan, cooking stone) with multiple burners, except for the griddle plate. The resulting accumulation of heat causes damage to the appliance.

8.6 Getting the most out of your appliance

Aluminum foil

WARNING

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Preheating the oven

■ Place oven racks in the required position before heating the oven.
■ Always preheat the oven.
- Allow the oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
■ Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time.
■ The heating-up indicator displays the rising temperature in the oven cavity.
→ "Temperature indicator", Page 14
■ When the oven has preheated a beep indicator will sound for 2 seconds.
■ Once the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.

Baking pans and dishes

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) when using this type of dish. Follow the manufacturers' recommendations.
• Cookie sheets should have at least 1" clearance on all sides.
  ■ Use pans that provide the desired level of browning. For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) when using this type of pan. Follow the manufacturers' recommendations.
  ■ Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.
  ■ Do not place broil pans or any other heavy objects down on the open oven door.
• Do not store empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this changes the cooking performance. Store pans outside of the oven.

Opening the oven door

Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle.

To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door. Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction. Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.

High altitude baking

When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.

For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

Condensation

It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

Bake

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.

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

Tip

■ Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
- Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
- For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1–1½" space between pans or dishes and oven walls.
- Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.

Convection bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake.

Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the appliance by the convection fan. Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.

The benefits of Convection Bake include:

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

Tip

• Place food in shallow, uncovered pans, such as cookie sheets without sides.
  If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1–1½" of air space around the pan.

- For cakes, use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see following graphic).

Illustration of three blue circular containers on grids with a magnified inset showing four white spherical containers (no text or symbols)

Multi-Rack

Convection Multi-Rack cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven.

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

The benefits of Convection Multi-Rack include:

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

Tip

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

Proof

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

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

Pizza

In Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Use Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tip

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

Convection roast

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

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

The benefits of Convection Roast mode include:

■ As much as 25 % faster cooking than non-convection modes.
■ Rich, golden browning.

Tip

- Preheating the oven is not necessary. - Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

- Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease.

■ Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.

■ Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.

■ Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.

- If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.

- Let meat stand covered with foil for 10–15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

Convection broil

Convection Broil is similar to Broil.

It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan. Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use Convection Broil with the door closed. In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Tip

■ Preheat oven for 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
■ Steaks and chops should be at least 1–1½" thick.
■ Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack for broiling.
- Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
■ Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cooking time. Fish does not need to be turned.
- Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

Broil

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element. Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed.

The benefits of broiling include:

■ Fast and efficient cooking.
■ Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.

Tip

■ Preheat oven for 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
■ Steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
■ Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
■ Use broiler pan with grid when broiling.
- Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
■ Turn meats (other than fish) once during the recommended cooking time. Fish does not need to be turned.
- When browning the top of casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes.
■ Never use heat-proof glass; it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

14 STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

14.1 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.

14.2 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.

14.3 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.

14.4 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.

14.5 Warranty exclusions

The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more of the following:

■ Use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels).
- 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 selfperformed "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.
■ Service calls to correct the installation of your Product, to instruct you how to use your Product, to replace house fuses or correct house wiring or plumbing.
■ Removal and replacement of trim or decorative panels that interfere with servicing the Product.
■ Damage or defects caused by labor or parts installed by any non-authorized service provider, unless approved by Bosch before service is performed.

In no event shall Bosch 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 BOSCH, 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 EXCLUSIONS OR 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.
