LIFETIME WARRANTY (U.S. & CANADA ONLY)
Your Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless 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
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 specic 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 wa rranty.
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 s hipping and handling for such nonconforming products under wa rranty.

PROFESSIONAL COOKWARE FOR GOURMET COOKING
Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware is an investment that will prove its worth every time you use it. Exclusively designed triple-ply material provides superior heat conductivity and even heat distribution to meet the demands of gourmet chefs everywhere. When properly cared for, your Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware will give countless years of service and pleasure. Follow the use and care suggestions in this leaet to preserve and maintain cookware’s original beauty.
n
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware on high heat. Food will burn. The triple-ply construction of this cookware is highly conductive and efcient for quick, even heat distribution. We recommend using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is sufcient. Never leave Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
n
BEFORE USING
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or dish detergent before using for the rst time. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel.
n
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, ll 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 may make scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately for a awless nish. Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless features oven-safe handles that can withstand oven temperatures up to 500°F. Caution should be used when handling any cookware handles and we recommend the use of potholders.
To maintain the copper’s luster, use either a metal polish or homemade mixture of ½ cup white vinegar, ¼ cup table salt, and ¼ cup scouring powder. Rub the mixture over the copper with a cloth or nonabrasive scrubber, and rinse clean with hot water. Never use cleaners containing bleach to clean copper cookware.
n
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
We do not recommend Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware be cleaned in the dishwasher. The abrasive cleaning agent will scratch and discolor the copper exterior. The stainless steel covers are dishwasher safe and will return to a mirror shine. Over a long period of time, however, regular dishwasher cleaning may scratch the covers. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
n
WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart Copper Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware. You may prefer using metal utensils. These may scratch the cooking surface, but will in no way impair the performance of your Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply 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.

n
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.
n
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.
CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a well­ventilated room.
n
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.
n
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the ame touches only the pan bottom. If the ame comes up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted and the sides of the pan may become permanently discolored.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply 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 ame­tamer placed between the burner and the bottom of the pot solves this problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most hardware stores.
n
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply 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.
n
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL
The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect t 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.
n
CONVENIENT STORAGE
A cookware rack or pegboard provides convenient, safe storage for your Cuisinart® Copper Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware. Stacking and crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.
