Before Using the First Time
Remove all labels. Wash cookware in warm water with a 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
®
Culinary Collection 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 add only a minimum amount to the nonstick
surface of your cookware.
Energy-Efficient Cooking
Safe for all stovetops (gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, glass top and induction). Select a burner size that matches the diameter of
the bottom of the pan. 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.
For Use on Induction Stovetop
Please consult your induction stovetop manual for information on use. Please always center the cooking vessel on the burner for
optimal performance.
Essential Precautions
Never use Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection Cookware on high heat or food will burn. The aluminum core of this cookware heats
quickly, and its even heat distribution prevents hot spots.
We recommend using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and void the warranty, and cause
damage to the stovetop.
Oven Cooking Temperature
Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection Cookware can be used in the oven up to 400°F. Ceramic nonstick lids are oven safe to 400°F. Using
Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection Cookware in the oven will cause the handles as well as the pan to become hot. Use oven mitts
when removing the cookware from the oven. DO NOT place Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection Cookware under the broiler.
Proper Cooking Utensils
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils in your Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection Cookware to maintain its appearance and
performance. Refrain from cutting foods and using sharp utensils, such as forks, knives, mashers and whisks, in your cookware,
as doing so can scratch the cooking surface. Slight surface marks and abrasions are normal and will not affect the performance
of Cuisinart’s exclusive PURELYCERAMIC nonstick coating.
Easy Maintenance
Let your Cuisinart® Culinary Collection Cookware cool before cleaning. Cookware should be washed by hand with a nonabrasive
cleaning product. Do not use steel wool or other metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your cookware. Do not soak cookware
in water for an extended period of time as this can affect the nonstick performance. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry
immediately. NOTE: Do not put in the dishwasher, since harsh detergents will harm the exterior finish.
Cleaning the Exterior
Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection 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 hot, soapy water and a scrub pad. The exterior of Cuisinart
®
Culinary Collection Cookware, like other brands, may 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
®
Culinary Collection
Cookware. Do not store cookware in direct sunlight. Use care if you store your cookware in cabinets or drawers. Careless
stacking and crowding may cause scratches or chipping of the ceramic interior surface.

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 that 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 https://www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product-assistance/product-inquiry. Cuisinart will
be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products
under warranty.
