WARRANTY

Limited Three-Year Warranty

This warranty is available to consumers only. You 

are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart

®

 12-Cup 

Programmable Coffeemaker 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

®

 12-Cup Programmable 

Coffeemaker will be free of defects in materials and 

workmanship under normal home use for 3 years 

from the date of original purchase. 
We recommend that you visit our website,  

www.cuisinart.com

 for a fast, efficient way to 

complete your product registration. However, 

product registration 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.

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 neither of the above two options results 

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 800-726-

0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of 

the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling 

for such nonconforming products under warranty.

BEFORE RETURNING YOUR  

CUISINART PRODUCT

If your 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker should 

prove to be defective within the warranty period, 

we will repair or, if we think necessary, replace it. 

To obtain warranty service, please call our 

Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-

0190 or write to: Cuisinart, 7475 North Glen Harbor 

Blvd, Glendale, AZ 85307. To facilitate the speed 

and accuracy of your return, please enclose $10.00 

for shipping and handling of the product, along 

with proof of purchase. (California residents need 

only supply proof of purchase and should call 

1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions.) Be sure 

to include your return address, description of the 

product’s defect, product serial number, and any 

other information pertinent to the return. Please 

pay by check or money order. 

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. 
Your Cuisinart

®

 12-Cup Programmable 

Coffeemaker has been manufactured to the 

strictest specifications and has been designed for 

use only in 120-volt outlets and only with 

authorized accessories and replacement parts. 

This warranty expressly excludes any defects or 

damages caused by attempted use of this unit with 

a converter, as well as use with accessories, 

replacement parts or repair service other than 

those authorized by Cuisinart. This warranty does 

not cover any damage caused by accident, 

misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household 

use. This warranty excludes all incidental or 

consequential damages. Some states do not allow 

the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so 

these exclusions may not apply to you. You may 

also have other rights, which vary from state to 

state. 

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.
