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 conse-
quential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limi-
tation of incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

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 in-
dependent repair facility, if service or repair can be economically
accomplished. Cuisinart, and not the consumer, will be respon-
sible 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 

Cuisinart®Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner.
Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
Never leave cookware on the stovetop unattended. Cookware
that overheats or boils dry may begin to decompose and melt,
resulting in damage to your stovetop or cookware and/or creating
a risk of personal injury. If cookware overheats, do not remove
from the stovetop immediately. Turn off the heat and allow the
cookware to cool naturally before removing from the stovetop.

We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your

may prefer using metal utensils. These may scratch the cooking
surface, but will in no way impair the performance of your
Cuisinart®Chef's ClassicTM Stainless Color Series Cookware. You
may use a hand mixer with metal beaters which can scratch the
interior surface but will not impair the cookware’s performance
or its durability.

Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is
from a harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm
vinegar. Certain foods such as pasta or oatmeal may leave a light
residue or cloudy appearance. This can be easily removed with
any nonabrasive cleaning product.

When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may
remain. If soaking does not loosen it, add water to a depth of one
inch in the pan, then add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent (a
non-lemon product). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for
15 minutes. Let cool in the pan, then drain and rinse. Loosen the
residue with a sponge or plastic spatula. Repeat if necessary.

Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of pans can be removed
with an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and
spray or brush the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the pan.
If the directions call for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the
pan before applying the cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
