Fire Safety
•
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,
especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
•
•
•
Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of
the pan.
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed.
Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. For
example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use
the appliance for storage.
•
•
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot 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 flamma-
ble 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.
•

Safety
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. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accu-
mulate on fan or filter.
d) 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 immedi-
ately 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.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOW-
ING:
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) Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and
easily accessible near the oven.
e) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know
how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop
fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

Safety
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until
•
•
gas dissipates before using the appliance.
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. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure.
Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON
position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See “WHAT
TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:” on page 2.
•
•
•
During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually.
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 TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materi-
als contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-
faces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the
door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep
your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets
near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes.
Do not leave open doors unattended.
•
•
•
•
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause injury.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must
be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub-
bling 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.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal respon-
sibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
•
•
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appli-
ance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
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 and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of sub-
stances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
English 3

Safety
a) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during self-
cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide.
b) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts
of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a
potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
c) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2) Providing good ventilation during and immediately after self cleaning
the oven.
3) Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause
burns from steam.
•
•
•
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door
does not lock, do not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds out of the
kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During self
clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes
such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
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.
•
•
Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety
•
•
•
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent
spills and movement of the pan.
•
Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the sur-
face heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
•
•
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety
risks.
Proper Installation and Maintenance • Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it
for easy reference.
•
•
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instruc-
tions for details.
All ranges can tip. Injury to persons could result. Install anti-tip device pack-
aged with range. Verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged. See installation
instructions.

Getting Started
may not light or the flame may not burn completely or correctly. The appliance is
equipped with two types of burners: standard and diffusion. See the sections
below for further information on each.
Diffusion Burner Caps
Depending on the model, the appliance is equipped with between 1 and 4 diffu-
sion burner caps. They provide a more even heat, especially when cooking at
lower temperatures.
Burner Grates
Warning: To prevent flare-ups, do not use the cooktop without all burner caps
and all burner grates properly positions. Do not use a grate if the feet are missing
or damaged.
There are two burner grates: one for the left side of the cooktop and one for the
right side of the cooktop. Position them so that the circular opening is over the
burner cap. Burner grates should rest flat on the cooktop. The rubber feet on the
grates should rest in the indents on the cooktop.
Right Side
Burner Grate
Left Side
Burner Grate
Figure 3: Grates for Free-standing Models
Electronic Ignitor
The cooktop uses electronic ignitors to light the burners, There is no pilot light.
Each burner has its own ignitor. For proper operation, keep the ignitor clean and
dry. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even though the ignitor clicks.
Caution: All ignitors spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not
touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
High Power Burner
The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the
cooktop. It retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low settings, pro-
hibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle, more predict-
able heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large amounts of sauces
or soups. Use the high settings to quickly bring large amounts of water to a boil.
Precision Burner
Oven Racks
The precision burner is the smallest burner on the cooktop. It is well suited for
gentle cooking of small amounts of food. Use the burner to melt butter or choco-
late or to prepare delicate sauces.
Depending on model, the range is equipped with one of the following combina-
tions:
•
•
•
Three flat racks
Two flat racks and one full extension rack
Two flat racks and one half rack

Cleaning
Clean rack with hot sudsy water. Dry thoroughly. For stubborn dirt, use a soap
filled steel wool pad. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven.
Half Oven Rack (Some Models)
The half oven rack can be used as a simple flat rack or as a half-sized rack. With
the right half of the rack removed, you can place a tall item (such as a turkey) on
one side of the rack below and a shorter item (such as a casserole) on the other
side. A second shorter item can then be placed on the half rack (above the first
shorter item). This allows for easier access to all items and better utilization of the
oven cavity.
Tip: The removable section can also be used outside of the oven as a trivet or
cooling rack.

Oven Bottom
Oven Vent
Caution: Do not place food directly on oven bottom. Do not use alumi-
num foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance, especially
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
The oven vent is located below the display above the rear left cooktop burner. It is
normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on the
backguard and cooktop. This area may become hot when the oven is in use. To
prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block the vent. The oven vent is also
important for air circulation.
Automatic Shutoff
The oven will automatically shut off after 12 hours (24 hours if the time format is
set for 24 hour in the Select Function section).

Cooktop Cooking Guide
Boiling Water
Time to boil can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions. Try the fol-
lowing tips to decrease boil time:
•
•
Use a lid.
Use a pan that is appropriately sized for the amount of water and the size of
the burner.
•
Select a pan with a flat base (See “Cookware Selection Guide” on page 23 for
details).
•
•
•
Choose a medium-weight pan (rather than a heavy-weight one).
Start with water that is already warm.
Boil the smallest amount of water necessary. Smaller volumes will boil faster
than larger volumes.
Recommended Settings
Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed
because the actual setting depends on:
•
•
•
•
type and quality of pan (See “Selecting Cookware”),
type, quantity and temperature of the food,
burner used and
the cook’s preference.

Cookware Characteristics
Pan selection directly affects cooking speed and uniformity. For best results select
pans with flat bases. When a pan is hot, the base (pan bottom) should rest evenly
on the surface without wobbling (rocking). Flat, medium-to-heavy-weight pans are
best.
To Test the Flatness of Your Pans
Turn the pan upside down on the countertop and place a
ruler flat against the bottom of the pan. The bottom of the
pan and the straight edge of the ruler should be flush
against each other.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
Another simple test to determine even heat distri-
bution across the cookware bottom is to place 1”
(25.4 mm) of water in the pan. Bring the water to a
boil and observe the location of the bubbles as the
water starts to boil. Good, flat cookware will have
an even distribution of bubbles over the bottom
surface area.
Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size
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 lick up the sides of the
pan.
Place oversized pans that span two burners front to rear, not side to side.
Tight Fitting Lids – A lid shortens cooking/boiling time by holding heat inside the
pot.
Cookware Tips
Specialty Pans
•
Use of pots and pans with rounded (either concave or convex) warped or
dented bottoms should be avoided. See drawings.
Make sure the bottom of the pot or pan being used is clean and dry.
Use pots and pans with thick, smooth metal bottoms.
•
•
Specialty pans such as griddles, roasters, pressure cookers, woks, water bath
canners and pressure canners must have the same features as described above.
Use only a flat-bottomed wok.

Multiple Rack Cooking
Pan Placement
When using multiple racks, follow the placement recommendations below.
•
•
Two rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.
Three rack: (for convection bake): Use positions 1, 3 and 6.
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking
more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½” of air space around the pan.
When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that
one pan is not directly above the other. To allow for best baking results stagger
pans as shown in the graphic below.

Figure 15: Pan Placement
Baking Pans
Here are some tips for cooking with baking pans:
•
Glass baking dishes absorb heat, therefore reduce oven temperature 25°F
when baking in glass.
•
•
Shiny, smooth metal reflects heat resulting in lighter, more delicate browning.
Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing temperature 25° F when using
these pans. Follow manufacturer recommendations.
•
•
Use glass or dark metal pans for pies.
Insulated baking pans may increase the recommended baking time.
Preheating the Oven
Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it. Preheating is necessary for good
results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Setting a higher tempera-
ture does not shorten preheat time. Place oven racks in proper position before
preheating. A beep will confirm that oven is preheated and selected oven temper-
ature will be displayed.
Note: Preheating the oven is not recommended when using the probe (some
models). A hot oven will impair your ability to easily connect the probe to the
receptacle and to insert it into the meat.
The Probe (some models)
•
•
The oven is well insulated and the retained heat will continue to cook the meat
after the oven has shut off. For this reason, remove the meat from the oven as
soon as the control beeps.
Since meat continues to cook after being removed from the oven, set the
internal (probe) temperature 5 - 10 degrees below the desired final internal
temperature (exception: poultry). Allow standing time (10 -20 minutes) before
carving the meat.
•
Always use the handle of the probe for inserting and removing. Use a
potholder to remove since the probe becomes hot.
•
•
Remove the probe from the oven when it is not being used.
The probe cannot be used with frozen meats. For best results, completely
thaw meats before using the probe.
Inserting the Probe
•
•
•
For meats, insert the probe tip into the thickest part and do not touch bone,
fat, or gristle.
For large poultry products and turkeys, insert the probe in the thickest part of
the inner thigh.
For other foods, such as a meatloaf, the probe tip should be located in the
center of the thickest part of the food.

Oven Cooking Modes
Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. The lower
burner cycles to maintain the oven temperature.
Bake mode can be used to prepare foods like
pastries and casseroles as well as to roast
meats.
Bake, Proof and Warm
Note: Depending on the model, you may hear
the convection fan while the oven is preheating
for the bake mode. This is normal.
In the Proofing mode, the oven uses the lower burner to maintain a low tempera-
ture to proof bread.
•
•
Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.
The Proofing mode temperatures are 85° to 110° F. The default temperature
is 100° F.
•
•
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.
In Warming mode, the lower burner maintains a low temperature in the oven cav-
ity in order to keep food at serving temperature.
•
•
•
Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot until ready to serve.
Warming mode temperatures are 140° - 220° F. Default temperature is 170°.
Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
CAUTION
When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:
•
•
Do not use the Warm Mode to heat cold food.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends hold-
ing hot food at 140°F or warmer.
•
DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
Convection baking is similar to baking. Heat
comes from the lower burner and an element
behind the backwall. The main difference in con-
vection baking is that the heat is circulated
throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Convection Bake
The Convection Bake mode is well-suited for
baking large quantities of food on multiple racks.
It can be used to prepare cookies, pies, cup-
cakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and appetizers among other items. The ben-
efits of Convection Baking include:
•
•
•
•
Slight decrease in cooking time
Three rack cooking (more even browning)
Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)
Ability to cook more items at once
For Best Results:
•
Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F. Refer to Convection Baking chart and
Automatic Convection Conversion for more information.

•
•
Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.
Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack
Automatic Convection Conversion
In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F
from the package or recipe temperature. Simply enter the package or recipe tem-
perature when setting the mode and the range calculates the correct temperature.
The Automatic Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for man-
ual temperature adjustment. See “Turn Automatic Convection Conversion ON or

Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the
upper burner. The Broil mode is best suited to
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.
Broil
The benefits of Broiling include:
•
•
•
Fast and efficient cooking
Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids
Browning as the food cooks
For Best Results:
•
•
•
•
•
Preheat oven 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 the broil pan and grid included with your range
Do not cover the broiler grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away
from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering

•
•
•
Turn meats once halfway through the recommended cooking time (see Broil
Chart for examples).
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such
as Corningware®.
Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); they can’t tolerate the high temperature.

a. Broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly, Times are based on cooking with a preheated broil
burner.
Convection Roast uses heat from the lower
Convection Roast
burner and an element behind the backwall. The
heat is also circulated by the convection fan. The
result is a crispier exterior that seals in juices.
The Convection Roast mode is well suited to pre-
paring tender cuts of meat and poultry.
The benefits of Convection Roasting, include:
•
•
As much as 25% faster cooking than standard Roasting/ Baking
Rich, golden browning
For Best Results:
•
•
Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
Check doneness early as roasting time may decrease by as much as 25%.
Refer to Convection Roast Chart for examples.
•
•
Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
Use the broil pan and grid provided with the range for roasting. A low-sided,
uncovered pan can also be used.
•
•
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, a small strip of foil
can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
•
Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven.

Dehydrate
The dehydrate mode dries with heat from an electric element behind the back wall
of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan. Use
dehydrate to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and herbs. This
mode holds an optimum low temperature (100° F - 160° F) while circulating the
heated air to slowly remove moisture. The oven will stay on for 48 hours before
shutting off automatically.
Note: The lower burner operates at the begin-
ning of this mode. This is normal.
For Best Results:
•
•
•
Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140° F. Dry
herbs at 100° F. (Refer to the Dehydrate
Chart for examples).
Drying times vary depending on the moisture
and sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the amount being dried
and the humidity in the air. Check food at the minimum drying time.
Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used simultaneously. Contact your
dealer to order drying racks.
•
•
Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative Extension Office or
library for additional information.

Self Cleaning the Oven
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high
temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
•
•
Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self-
Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the
oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening
the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
•
•
•
The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.
The oven light does not operate during this mode.
During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.
Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to clean
for 3 or 5 hours.
•
•
•
The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.
When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and
the door can be opened.
•
•
To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.
The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.
Preparing the Oven for Self Clean
WARNING
A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub,

2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark fin-
ish. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.
3. Wipe up excessive soil, spills and grease before self-cleaning the oven.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-clean-
ing.

Warranty
What this Warranty Covers & Who it The limited warranty provided BSH Home Appliances Bosch in this Statement of
Applies to:
Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Bosch freestanding and slide-in
range, ("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product
was purchased: (1) for your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in
fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes; (2) new at retail
(not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or com-
mercial use; and (3) 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.
·Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectu-
ate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely
event of a safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts:
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workman-
ship for a period of three hundred sixty-five days (365) days from the date of pur-
chase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall
not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.
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 materi-
als 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). 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 manu-
facturer-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 an un-
authorized servicer; Bosch 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 provid-
ers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch
products, and who possess, in Bosch 's opinion, a superior reputation for cus-
tomer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are
not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). 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 pro-
vider) 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 ser-
vice 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.

not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more of the follow-
ing: (1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and

dling, unauthorized service (including self-performed "fixing" or exploration of the

kind; (5) a failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electri-
cal, 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;
(6) ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other
substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product; and (7) any external,

rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive mois-
ture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures
surrounding the appliance, and acts of God. In no event shall Bosch have any lia-
bility 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 scratches, nicks, minor dents, and cosmetic dam-
ages on external surfaces and exposed parts; Products on which the serial num-
bers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to

tion of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and set-
ting 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 EXCLU-
SIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM
ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLI-
GENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WAR-
RANTIES, 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 CONSEQUEN-
TIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON
HOW LONG 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.
