FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

LIMITED 18-MONTH WARRANTY

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own
a Cuisinart® Spice and Nut Grinder that was purchased at retail for personal,
family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law,
this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or
owners.

We warrant that your Cuisinart® Spice and Nut Grinder will be free of defects
in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 18 months from the
date of original purchase.

We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product registration card
promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase. However,
return of the product registration card does not eliminate the need for the con­sumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty
benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase
date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

If your Cuisinart® Spice and Nut Grinder should prove to be defective within
the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To
obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-0190 for
additional information from our Customer Service Representatives, or send the
defective product to Customer Service at Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road, East
Windsor, NJ 08520.

To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose $10.00 for
shipping and handling of the product.

Please pay by check or money order (California residents need only supply
proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions).

NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart® product
that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery ser­vice. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for packages
that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not covered
under warranty. Please be sure to include your return address, daytime phone
number, description of the product defect, product model number (located on
bottom of product), original date of purchase, and any other information perti­nent to the product’s return.

Your Cuisinart® Spice and Nut Grinder has been manufactured to the strictest
specifications and has been designed for use with the authorized accessories
and replacement parts.

This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by acces­sories, replacement parts, or repair service other than those that have been
authorized by Cuisinart.

This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, ship­ment or other ordinary household use.

This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states

do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so they 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, at its discretion, 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.

Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and ship­ping and handling for such products under warranty.

BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART® PRODUCT

If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart® product, we suggest that
you call our Cuisinart® Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 before returning the
product serviced. If servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm whether
the product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest service location.

Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other
than Cuisnart’s Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer to call
our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem
is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts, and the
product is still under warranty.
