en-us Statement of Limited Product Warranty

22.4 Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Rem-
edy
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 re-
pair 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). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or de-
fective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or
design than the original part. All removed parts and com-
ponents shall become the property of BSH at its sole op-
tion. 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 hereun-
der 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 a non-authorized service provider;
BSH will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or
work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Au-
thorized 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, affili-
ates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the fore-
going, BSH will not incur any liability, or have responsibil-
ity, 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 ser-
vice provider, but you would still be fully liable and respon-
sible for any travel time or other special charges by the
service company, assuming they agree to make the ser-
vice call.
22.5 Out of Warranty Product
BSH 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.
22.6 Warranty Exclusions
The warranty coverage described herein excludes all de-
fects or damage that are not the direct fault of BSH, in-
cluding without limitation, one or more of the following:
¡ Use of the Product in anything other than its normal,
customary and intended manner (including without limi-
tation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an
indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunc-
tion with air or water-going vessels).
¡ Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse,
abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to

¡ Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind.

¡ Ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease ac-
cumulations, or other substances that accumulate on,

¡ 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

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 connect-
ing facilities, for proper foundation/flooring, and for any al-
terations 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 RE-
SPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES
IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABIL-
ITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WAR-
RANTY 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 OTH-
ERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PE-
RIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS
EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER
BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDEN-
TAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HO-
TELS 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 CON-
SEQUENTIAL 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 WAR-
RANTY 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.
