BEFORE USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all labels. Wash cookware and cover in warm water with mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and wipe dry with a soft dish towel. HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart® SmartNest® Nonstick Hard Anodized Cookware, you do not need to add oil or butter to prevent foods from sticking. If you wish to enhance the flavor and appearance of foods, you need only add a minimum amount to the nonstick surface of your cookware.

STOVETOP COOKING

Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the pan bottom. When cooking over a gas burner, make certain that the flame touches only the bottom of the pan. If the flame extends up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted.
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP
To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide cookware on the glass surface. Please consult your glass cooktop manual for information and recommendations on use.

ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS

Never use Cuisinart® SmartNest® Nonstick Hard Anodized Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core of this cookware heats quickly and its even heat distribution prevents hot spots. The dark interior color also allows food to cook more quickly with less heat. We recommend using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart® Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop. Any material, if heated continuously at a high enough temperature, will begin to decompose, damaging your stovetop or cookware and/or causing personal injury. Never leave cookware on the stovetop unattended. Do not allow cookware to boil dry. If cookware boils dry, do not remove it from the stovetop immediately. Turn off the heat and allow to cool naturally.
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart® SmartNest® Nonstick Hard Anodized Cookware can be used in the oven up to 500˚F. Glass lids are oven safe up to 350˚F. Using Cuisinart® Cookware in the oven will cause the handles, as well as the pan, to become hot. Use pot-holders or oven mitts when removing the cookware from the oven. Please DO NOT place Cuisinart® Nonstick Cookware under the broiler.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart® Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance. However, our SmartNest® Nonstick Hard Anodized line is metal-utensil safe. Refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface.

EASY MAINTENANCE

Let your Cuisinart® SmartNest® Nonstick Hard Anodized Cookware cool before cleaning. The reinforced nonstick system and the smooth exterior ensure easy cleaning. Cookware should be washed by hand with hot, sudsy water and a sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your cookware. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to maintain Cuisinart® Cookware’s flawless finish. Do not put in the dishwasher since harsh detergents will harm the exterior finish.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Cuisinart® SmartNest® Nonstick Hard Anodized Cookware has a smooth exterior finish, making it easier to clean and maintain. Food residue or buildup on the exterior of your cookware can easily be removed with any nonabrasive cleaning product. The exterior of Cuisinart® Cookware, like other brands, will show wear with continuous use. This condition will not in any way affect the superior cooking performance of your cookware.

This warranty excludes damage caused by accident, misuse, or abuse, including damage caused by overheating, and it does not apply to scratches, stains, discoloration or other damage to external or internal surfaces which does not impair the functional utility of the cookware.
This warranty also expressly excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
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 that sells Cuisinart ® products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, 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. To obtain a return shipping label, email us at www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product- return. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, shipping, and handling of such nonconforming products under warranty.
