LIMITED THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
This warranty supersedes all previous war-
ranties on Cuisinart
® SmartPower Premier ™
600-Watt Blenders. This warranty is avail-
able to consumers only. You are a con-
sumer if you own a Cuisinart
® SmartPower
Premier ™ 600-Watt Blender that was pur-
chased 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 war-
rant that your Cuisinart
® SmartPower
Premier ™ 600-Watt 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
registration card promptly to facilitate verification
of the date of original purchase. However, return
of the product registration card does not elimi-
nate 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.
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 (C.U.R.E)
150 Milford Road
East Windsor, NJ 08520
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your

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 responsible for in-transit
damage or for packages that are not deliv-
ered to us. Lost and/or damaged products
are not covered under warranty.
Your Cuisinart
® SmartPower Premier ™ 600-
Watt Blender has been manufactured to
strict specifications and has been designed
for use with the Cuisinart
® SmartPower
Premier ™ 600-Watt 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 war-
ranties do not cover any damage caused by
accident, misuse, shipment, or other than
ordinary household use. These warranties
exclude all incidental or consequential dam-
ages. Some states do not allow the exclu-
sion of or limitation of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the foregoing limita-
tion 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 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 neces-
sary, 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 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
serviced. If servicing is needed, a
Representative can confirm whether the
product is under warranty 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 serv-
iced with the correct parts, and to ensure
that the product is still under warranty.
