LIMITED THREE
YEAR WARRANTY

This warranty supersedes all previous 
warranties on Cuisinart

®

Coffee Bar

Automatic Grind & Brew

Coffeemakers.

This warranty is available to consumers only. 
You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart

®

Coffee Bar

Automatic Grind & Brew

Coffeemaker 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

®

Coffee Bar

Automatic Grind & Brew

Coffeemaker 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 warranty registration card promptly 
to facilitate verification of the date of original 
purchase. However, return of the warranty 
registration is not a condition of this warranty 
and does not eliminate the need for the consumer
to maintain the original proof of purchase. In the
event you do not have proof of purchase date, the
purchase date for purposes of this warranty will
be the date of manufacture.

If your coffeemaker 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 800-726-0190 or write to:

Cuisinart

150 Milford Road

East Windsor, NJ 08520

To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your
return, please also enclose $10.00 for shipping
and handling of the product (California 
residents need only supply proof of purchase and
should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instruc-
tions). Please also be sure to include a return
address, description of the product defect, prod-
uct serial number, and any other information perti-
nent to the product’s return.  Please pay by check
or money order.

Your Cuisinart

®

Coffee Bar

Automatic Grind and

Brew Coffeemaker has been manufactured to
strict specifications and has been designed for
use with the Cuisinart

®

coffeemaker authorized

accessories and replacement parts for your
model. 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 exclusion of or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the foregoing limita-
tion or exclusion 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 choice, 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, at 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, replace-
ment, and shipping and handling for such 
nonconforming products 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 ser-
viced. 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 to
ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed,
the product serviced with the correct parts, and 
to ensure the the product is still under warranty.
