LIFETIME WARRANTY (U.S. AND CANADA ONLY)
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,

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 independent repair facility, if service or
repair can be economically accomplished. 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 necessary, 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.
USE AND CARE GUIDE

CUISINART ADVANTAGE® CERAMICA XT NON-STICK COOKWARE
Congratulations on your purchase of Cuisinart®Cookware! Designed from the inside out for today’s gourmet chef, Cuisinart®
Cookware combines uncompromising, superior cooking performance with naturally derived ceramic surface. We guarantee you
a lifetime of good cooking with your Cuisinart®Cookware.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in
your Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick
Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance.
Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such
as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the
cooking surface. Slight surface marks and abrasions
are normal and will not aect the performance of the
Ceramica® XT coating.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Let your Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick
Cookware cool before cleaning. Cookware should be
washed by hand with hot, sudsy water and a soft mesh-
wrapped sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel
wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch
your cookware. Do not soak cookware in water for an
extended period of time as this can aect the nonstick
performance. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately. NOTE: Do not put in the dishwasher,
since harsh detergents will harm the exterior and
interior finish.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware
has a smooth exterior finish, making it easier to clean
and maintain. Food residue or buildup on the exterior
of your cookware can easily be removed with hot,
soapy water and a scrub pad. The exterior of Cuisinart®
Cookware, like other brands, may show wear with
continuous use. This condition will not in any way aect
the superior cooking performance of your cookware.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
Hanging pans by their handles on a Cuisinart®Cookware
rack provides convenient, safe storage for your
Cuisinart®Cookware. Do not store cookware in direct
sunlight. Use care if you store your cookware in
cabinets or drawers. Careless stacking and crowding
may cause scratches or chipping of the ceramic
interior surface.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all labels. Wash cookware in warm water with
a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and
wipe dry with a soft dish towel.
HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart Advantage®
Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware, you do not need to
add oil or butter to prevent foods from sticking. If you
wish to enhance the flavor and appearance of foods,
you need add only a minimum amount to the nonstick
surface of your cookware.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOKING
Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the
bottom of the pan. When cooking over a gas burner,
make certain that the flame touches only the bottom
of the pan. If the flame extends up the sides of the pan,
energy is wasted.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick
Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum
core of this cookware heats quickly and its even heat
distribution prevents hot spots. We recommend using
a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil
water, medium-high is sucient. Never leave Cuisinart®
Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing
so can ruin the pan and void the warranty, and cause
damage to the stovetop.
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP
To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide
cookware on the glass surface. Please consult
your glass cooktop manual for information and
recommendations on use.
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart Advantage® Ceramica XT Non-Stick Cookware
can be used in the oven up to 350°F for short amounts
of time, not to exceed 20 minutes. Using Cuisinart®
Cookware in the oven will cause the handles as well as
the pan to become hot. Use oven mitts when removing
the cookware from the oven. DO NOT place Cuisinart®
Cookware under the broiler.
