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.  
hINTS AND TIPS  
1. The steaming times mentioned in this cooking  
table are suggested times, cooking time varies  
depending on the size and quantity of foods as  
well as personal preference.  
2. If the foods are placed in several layers in the va-  
rious trays, the cooking time should be increased.  
3. The given cooking times are calculated for fresh  
foods.  
If your Cuisinart® 3 tier Steamer should prove to be  
defective within the warranty period, we will repair it,  
or if we think necessary, replace it.

4. For more uniform cooking, use foods with a  
nearly equal size.  
5. Meat, chicken and seafood should be completely  
defrosted before being placed in the steamer.  
6. Do not allow foods to touch the sides of the  
steam tray, this allows the steam to circulate  
freely around the foods, giving better results.
