WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year
Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only. You
are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart Sparkling
Beverage Maker 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 Sparkling Beverage Maker 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.

and/or damaged products are not covered under
warranty.
Your Cuisinart Sparkling Beverage Maker has
been manufactured to the strictest specifications
and has been designed for use only with the
Cuisinart recyclable CO
2
cartridge and with
authorized accessories and replacement parts.
This warranty expressly excludes any defects or
damages caused by attempted use of this unit
with an unauthorized CO
2
cartridge, 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.
