WARRANTY
THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if
you own a Cuisinart
®
Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker 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
®
Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker 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 registra-
tion 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 war-
ranty will be the date of manufacture.
If your coffeemaker should prove to be defective within the warranty peri-
od, 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:
Cuisinart
150 Milford Road
East Windsor, NJ 08520
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please also enclose
$10.00 for shipping and handling of the product (California residents
need only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for
shipping instructions). Please also be sure to include a return address,
description of the product defect, product serial number and any other
information pertinent to the product’s return. Please pay by check or
money order.
Your Cuisinart
®
Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker has been manufactured to
strict specifications and designed for use only with the Cuisinart
®
Coffeemaker parts for your model. 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.
However, return of the warranty registration card is not a condition of
this warranty and does not eliminate the need for the consumer to main-
tain the original proof of purchase.
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.
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 or exclusion 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 option, 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 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 nonconforming
products under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART
®
P R O D U C T
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 to ensure that the problem
is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts
and the product is still under warranty.
