WARRANTY

Three-Year Limited

Warranty

This warranty supersedes all previous warranties on Cuisinart™ Rice Cooker. This warranty is available to con- sumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart™ Rice Cooker that was purchased at retail for personal, family, or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable state law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart™ Rice Cooker will be free of defects in material or workmanship under normal home use for three years from the date of original purchase. We suggest that you complete and return the enclosed product registration card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase. However, return of this 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 man- ufacture.

If your Rice Cooker should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it (or, if we think it nec- essary, replace it) without charge to you. To obtain war- ranty service, please call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190, or write to:

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 also be sure to include a return address, daytime phone number, description of the product defect, product serial number (stamped on bottom of product base), and any other information pertinent to the prod- uct’s return.

Please pay by check or money order. (California resi- dents need only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-720-0190 for shipping instructions).

NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart™ product that is being returned, we rec- ommend you use a traceable, insured delivery ser- vice. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-tran- sit damage or for packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not covered under warranty.

Your Cuisinart™ Rice Cooker has been manufactured to strict specifications and has been designed for use with the Cuisinart™ Rice Cooker accessories and replacement parts. These warranties expressly exclude any defects or damages caused by accessories, replacement parts, or repair service other than those that have been authorized by Cuisinart. These warranties do not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment, or other than ordi-

nary household use. These warranties exclude all inci- dental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse- quential damages, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

California Residents Only

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a non- conforming product (A) to the store where it was pur- chased or (B) to another retail store which sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preferences, 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 either of the above two options does not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the con- sumer 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 of nonconforming products under warranty.

California residents may also, according to their prefer- ence, 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 of such noncon- forming products under warranty.

Before Returning Your Cuisinart Product

If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart product, we suggest that you call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 before returning the product for servicing. Often, our Consumer Service Representatives can help solve the problem without having 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 Cuisinart’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 to ensure that the product is still under warranty.
