as knives or forks for cleaning. Do not use a
scouring pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating
can be damaged.
If you have been cooking seafood, wipe the cook-
ing plate with lemon juice to prevent seafood fla-
vor transferring to the next recipe.
The housing base, cover and control knobs can
be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tough
stains, dampen cloth. Never use an abrasive
cleaner or harsh pad.
STORAGE:
Always make sure the Griddler
™
is cool and dry
before storing.
The power cord can be wrapped around the back
of the base for storing.
One set of cooking plates should be stored in the
Griddler
™
when not in use. The other set can be
stored in a drawer or cabinet, along with the drip
cups and scraping tool.
WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only. You
are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart
™
Griddler
™
that was purchased at retail for personal, family or
household use. Except as otherwise required under
applicable law, this warranty is not available to
retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart
™
Griddler
™
will
be free of defects in materials and workmanship
under normal home use for 3 years from the date
of original purchase.
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed
product registration 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 warranty will be the
date of manufacture.
If your Cuisinart
™
Griddler
™
should prove to be
defective within the warranty period, we will repair
it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain
warranty service, simply call our toll-free number
1-800-726-0190 for additional information from our
Customer Service Representatives or send the
defective product to Customer Service at Cuisinart,
150 Milford Road, 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 pay by check or money order (California
residents need only supply proof of purchase
and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping
instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling
of any Cuisinart
®
product that is being returned,
we recommend you use a traceable, insured
delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held
responsible for in-transit damage or for packages
that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged
products are not covered under warranty.
Please be sure to include your return address,
daytime phone number, description of the product
defect, product model # (located on bottom of
product), original date of purchase, and any other
information pertinent to the product’s return.
Your Cuisinart
™
Griddler
™
has been manufactured
to the strictest specifications and has been
designed for use with the authorized accessories
and replacement parts.
This warranty expressly excludes any defects or
damages caused by accessories, replacement
parts, or repair service other than those that have
been authorized by Cuisinart.
This warranty does not cover any damage caused
by accident, misuse, shipment or other ordinary
household use.
This warranty excludes all incidental or
consequential damages. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of these damages,
so they 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 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 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 products under warranty.
