Cuisinart CBT-500 manual Limited THREE-YEAR Warranty, California Residents only

LIMITED THREE-YEAR

WARRANTY

This warranty supersedes all previous war- ranties on Cuisinart® SmartPower Premier™ 600-Watt Blenders. This warranty is avail- able to consumers only. You are a con - sumer if you own a Cuisinart® SmartPower Premier™ 600-Watt Blender that was pur- chased 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 war- rant that your Cuisinart® SmartPower Premier™ 600-Watt Blender 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 war- ranty registration card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase. However, return of the warranty registration card is not a condition of this warranty and does not eliminate the need for the con- sumer to maintain the original proof of pur- chase. 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 blender should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it (or, if we think it necessary, replace it) without charge to you. To obtain warranty service, please call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190, or write to:

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 product’s return. Please pay by check or money order. (California residents need only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-720-0190 for shipping instructions). Your Cuisinart® SmartPower™ Premier 600-Watt Blender has been manufactured to strict specifications and has been designed for use with the Cuisinart® SmartPower Premier™ 600-Watt Blender 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 ordinary household use. These warranties exclude all incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion of or limitation of incidental or consequential 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 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 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 con- sumer’s prior usage of the product. If either

of the above two options does 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, at their prefer- ence, return nonconforming products direct- ly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming 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 serv- iced with the correct parts, and to ensure that the product is still under warranty.
