("Thermador") in this Statement of Limited Product
Warranty applies only to the Thermador 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.

▯

▯
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 return your registration card; while
not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the
best way for Thermador to notify you in the unlikely event
of a safety notice or product recall.

Thermador 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 the

upon the date of the original purchase, and shall not be
stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason
whatsoever.

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

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, Thermador 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 Thermador will replace your
Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in
Thermador'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 Thermador 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. Thermador's sole liability and
responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-
defective Product only, using a Thermador-authorized
service provider during normal business hours. For
safety and property damage concerns, Thermador highly
recommends that you do not attempt to repair the
Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service
provider; Thermador will have no responsibility or liability
for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized
service provider. Authorized service providers are those
persons or companies that have been specially trained
on Thermador products, and who possess, in
Thermador'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 Thermador).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Thermador 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, Thermador would still pay for labor and
parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service
