SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is
provided to reduce the risks of
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer
extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised.
If a long extension cord is used,
the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance. The longer cord
should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug
(one prong is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit
into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
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 the product
is still under warranty.
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

California residents may also,
according to their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to
Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our

cost of the repair, replacement, and
