HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart
®
Contour Hard Anodized
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.
STOVETOP COOKING
Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the pan
bottom. 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.
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.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
Contour Hard Anodized Cookware on
high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core of this
cookware heats quickly and its even heat distribution
prevents hot spots. The dark interior color also allows
food to cook more quickly with less heat. We recommend
using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil
water, medium-high is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart
®
Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so
can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart
®
Contour Hard Anodized Cookware can be
used in the oven up to 500˚F. Note: Glass covers are
only oven safe to 350˚F. Using Cuisinart
®
Cookware in the
oven will cause the handles as well as the pan to become
hot. Use potholders or oven mitts when removing the
cookware from the oven.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your
Cuisinart
®
Cookware to maintain its appearance and
performance. Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp
utensils such as forks, knives or mashers that can scratch
the cooking surface.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Let your Cuisinart
®
Contour Hard Anodized Cookware
cool before cleaning. The reinforced nonstick system
and the smooth exterior ensure easy cleaning. Cookware
should be washed by hand with hot, sudsy water and a
sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or other
metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your cookware.
After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to
maintain Cuisinart
®
Cookware’s flawless finish. Do not put
in the dishwasher, since harsh detergents will harm
exterior finish.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Cuisinart
®
Contour Hard Anodized 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 any nonabrasive
cleaning product. The exterior of Cuisinart
®
Cookware, like
other brands, will show wear with continuous use. This
condition will not in any way affect the superior cooking
performance of your cookware.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
Hanging pans by their handles on a cookware rack
provides convenient, safe storage for your Cuisinart
®
Cookware. Use care if you store your cookware in cabinets
or drawers. Careless stacking and crowding may cause
scratches.

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.
