This is not your ordinary microwave oven.  
It has more – inside and out. Inside it’s  
solid, nonporous, easy-to-sanitize stain-  
less steel. Outside you’ll find 25 prepro-  
grammed control options. It performs all  
the standard reheating and defrosting  
microwave tasks with ease, setting time  
and temperature for specific items. But it  
is also large enough, and smart enough,  
to let you cook from scratch. Check out  
the recipes for cooking fish and rice,  
steaming vegetables, or roasting garlic.  
And don’t miss the 2, 4 and 6 slice bacon  
buttons. Cook healthier, cook faster, cook  
easier… with the Cuisinart stainless steel

date, the purchase date for purposes of this war-  
ranty will be the date of manufacture.
