STATEMENT OF
LIMITED
PRODUCT
WARRANTY
Thermador Freezer
What this Warranty Covers & Who it
Applies to: The limited warranty provided
BSH Home Appliances in this Statement of
Limited Product Warranty applies only to
the Thermador Freezer ("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 commercial 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 effectuate warranty coverage, it is
the best way for Thermador to notify
you in the unlikely event of a safety
notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts:
Thermador warrants that the Product is
free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of three hundred
sixty-five days (365) days from the date of
purchase. 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,
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 a reasonable
number of 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).
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 an
unauthorized servicer; Thermador 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
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 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.

to provide you with any concessions,
including repairs, prorates, or Product
replacement, once this warranty has
expired.
