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, 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 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.

CLASSIC STAINLESS COOKWARE

USE AND CARE GUIDE

CHEF'S CLASSIC™ STAINLESS COOKWARE

Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Stainless Cookware is an investment that
will prove its worth every time you use it. Exclusively designed
aluminum encapsulated base provides superior heat conductivity
and even heat distribution to meet the demands of gourmet chefs
everywhere. When properly cared for, your Cuisinart® Chef’s
Classic™ Stainless Cookware will give countless years of service
and pleasure. Follow the use and care suggestions in this leaflet to
preserve and maintain the cookware’s original beauty.

ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS

Never use Cuisinart® Chef’s classicTM Stainless Cookware on
high heat . Food will burn. The aluminum encapsulated base

makes this cookware highly conductive and efficient for quick, even
heat distribution. 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.

BEFORE USING

Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or
dish detergent, or in a dishwasher, before using for the first
time. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish

towel, or you may place your Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Stainless
cookware in a dishwasher.

EASY MAINTENANCE

Immediately after each use, fill the pan with hot water and liquid
dish detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth
to remove any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or
other coarse metal pads that can make scratches. Rinse thoroughly
and dry immediately for a flawless finish. Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™
Stainless features oven-safe handles that can withstand oven
temperatures up to 500°F. Glass lids are oven safe to 350° F only.
Caution should be used when handling any cookware handles and
we recommend the use of potholders.

WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?

Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Stainless is dishwasher safe, but remember
that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the dishwasher is
carelessly packed, other dishes or flatware may mar the surface of
the cookware. Over a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning
will eventually scratch any utensil. We recommend using a
non-lemon detergent.

WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?

We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart®
Chef’s Classic™ Stainless Cookware. You may prefer using metal
utensils. These may scratch the cooking surface, but will in no way
impair the per formance of your Cuisinar t® Chef’s Classic™ Stainless
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.

TO REMOVE STAINS

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.

TO REMOVE STUBBORN RESIDUE

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.

TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS

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.

CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this
procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a well­ventilated room.

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.

COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER

When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches
only the pan bottom. If the flame comes up the sides of the pan,
energy is wasted and the sides of the pan may become
permanently discolored.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Stainless
Cookware has exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and
even a low setting on some gas burners will overheat or even
burn foods such as thinly sliced onions. An inexpensive gas
“flame -tamer” placed between the burner and the bottom
of the pot solves this problem. Flame-tamers are readily
available at most hardware stores.

COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN

Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™ Stainless Cookware can be used in the
oven without damage. Naturally, the handle as well as the pan will
become hot. Use potholders to prevent burns. The cookware can be
used in the oven at any baking temperature up to 500°F and can go
from burner to broiler to table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet.
Glass lids are oven safe to 350°F only. DO NOT place Cuisinart®

Non-Stick Cookware under the broiler.

TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL

The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect fit to reduce
the evaporation of liquids. If you leave the cover on after turning the
heat down or off, a partial vacuum may form which will seal the lid
to the pan. To break the seal, turn on the heat for a few moments,
and the cover will come off easily. If you don’t want the lid to seal
to the pan, remove the cover or set it slightly ajar before turning off
the heat.

CONVENIENT STORAGE

A cookware rack or pegboard for your Cuisinart® Chef’s Classic™
Stainless Cookware provides convenient, safe storage. Stacking and
crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.
