BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Remove all labels. Wash cookware and covers in warm water with a mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly in warm water and wipe dry with a soft dishtowel.
HEALTHIER COOKING, EASY CLEANING
When cooking with your Cuisinart® DS 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. We do not recommend using spray oils as it may cause a buildup of residue on the cooking surface.
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.
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart® DS 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.
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.
OVEN COOKING TEMPERATURE
Cuisinart® DS Anodized Cookware can be used in the oven up to 500°F. Using Cuisinart® Cookware in the oven will cause the handles as well as the pan to become hot. Use Cuisinart® kitchen textiles pot holders or oven mitts when removing the cookware from the oven.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tempered glass covers are oven safe to 350°F only.

PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart® Cookware to maintain its appearance and performance. Our Cuisinart® DS Anodized Cookware is metal utensil safe. However, refrain from cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the cooking surface.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Let your Cuisinart® DS Anodized Cookware cool before cleaning. Cuisinart® DS Anodized is dishwasher safe, but remember that soil from other dishes may be abrasive.
If the dishwasher is carelessly packed, other dishes or flatware may mar the surface of the cookware. Over a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any pan. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Cuisinart® DS 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 non-abrasive 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.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
Hanging pans by their handles on a cookware rack provides convenient, safe storage for your Cuisinart® Cookware. Use care if you store your cookware in cabinets or drawers. Careless stacking and crowding may cause scratches.

LIFETIME WARRANTY (U.S. and Canada only)

Your Cuisinart® DS Anodized Cookware is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal home use from the date of original purchase throughout the original purchaser’s lifetime.

HASSLE-FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
Your ultimate satisfaction in Cuisinart products is our goal, so if your Cuisinart® Cookware should fail within the generous warranty period, we will repair it or, if necessary, replace it at no cost to you. To obtain a return shipping label, email us at www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product- return. Or call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190 to speak with a representative.

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 which 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, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.
