Your Cuisinart
®
Cookware is warranted to be free of defects in
material and workmanship under normal home use from the date
of original purchase throughout the original purchaser’s lifetime.
HASSLE-FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
Your ultimate satisfaction in Cuisinart products is our goal, so if
your Cuisinart
®
Cookware should fail within the generous warranty
period, we will repair it or, if necessary, replace it at no cost to you.

This warranty excludes damage caused by accident, misuse or
abuse, including damage caused by overheating, and it does
not apply to scratches, stains, discoloration or other damage to
external or internal surfaces which does not impair the functional
utility of the cookware.
This warranty also expressly excludes all incidental or consequential
damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation or
exclusion 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.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California
residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product
(a) to the store where it was purchased or (b) to another retail store
which sells Cuisinart
®
products of the same type. The retail store
shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product,
refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the
product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the
above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the
consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an indepen-
dent repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accom-
plished. Cuisinart, and not the consumer, will be responsible for the
reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if neces-
sary, replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free
at 1-800-726-0190. To obtain a return shipping label, email us at
www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product-return. Cuisinart
will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and
shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under
warranty.

Essential Cookware Precautions

Before First Use

Wash new cookware in hot water with mild soap or dishwasher before initial use.

Easy Cookware Maintenance

Clean cookware after each use with hot water, liquid dish detergent, and a soft sponge or cloth.

Dishwasher Use

Cookware is dishwasher safe, but avoid abrasive soil from other dishes to prevent scratches.

Metal Utensil Use

Plastic or wooden utensils recommended; metal may scratch but won't impair performance.

Removing Stains

Remove multicolored stains from water with warm vinegar; remove residue with nonabrasive cleaner.

Removing Stubborn Residue

Boil residue with water and dishwasher detergent for 15 minutes, then loosen with a sponge.

Removing Burner Stains

Use oven cleaner on the outside bottom of pans; rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Induction Stovetop Use

Consult manual for induction stovetop use; center vessel on burner for optimal performance.

Glass Stovetop Cooking

Avoid scratching glass cooktops by not sliding cookware; consult your cooktop manual.

Gas Burner Cooking

Ensure flame only touches pan bottom to prevent discoloration and wasted energy.

Oven Temperature Use

Cookware is oven-safe up to 500°F; glass lids up to 350°F. Use potholders.

Breaking a Vacuum Seal

Gently heat pan for a few moments to break vacuum seal on lids.

Convenient Storage

Use a rack or pegboard for storage to prevent scratches from stacking.
