LIMITED THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
This warranty supersedes all previous warranties
on Cuisinart
® Smooth Operator ® Blenders. This
warranty is available to consumers only. You are
a consumer if you own a Cuisinart
® Smooth
Operator ® Blender 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
® Smooth Operator ® Blender
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 regis-
tration 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 origi-
nal proof of purchase in order to obtain the war-
ranty 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 blender should prove to be defective
within the warranty period, 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 enclose $10.00 for shipping and
handling of the product. Please also be sure to
include a return address, daytime phone number,
description of the product defect, product serial
number (stamped on bottom of product base),
and any other information pertinent to the prod-
uct’s return. 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 respon-
sible for in-transit damage or for packages that
are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged
products are not covered under warranty.
Your Cuisinart ® Smooth Operator ® Blender has
been manufactured to strict specifications and
has been designed for use with the Cuisinart
®
Smooth Operator ® Blender accessories and
replacement parts. 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. These
warranties exclude all incidental or consequential
damages. Some states do not allow the exclu-
sion of or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the foregoing limitation 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, according
to its preferences, 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 con-
sumer’s prior usage of the product. If either of the
above two options does not result in the appro-
priate 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, at 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 ship-
ping and handling for such nonconforming prod-
ucts under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR
CUISINART PRODUCT
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 warran-
ty 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 at
1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is
properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with
the correct parts, and to ensure that the product
is still under warranty.
