BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
During the manufacturing process, dust
can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We
recommend flushing out the system
before brewing your first pot of coffee.
Simply fill the reservoir and power on the
unit. (See steps #2, #5 and #6 in MAKING
COFFEE instructions, below). DO NOT
ADD COFFEE!
Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real
coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at
its best!
MAKING COFFEE
Follow instructions in “Before Brewing
Your First Pot of Coffee” above.
1.
Insert charcoal water filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filter on page 7.
2.
Fill the water reservoir
Open the reservoir cover by lifting it
up. Pour in the desired amount of
water using the side water level
indicator window located at the side
of the coffeemaker.
3.
Set cup preference
Push the 1 to 4-cup button if you are
brewing fewer than 5 cups.
4.
Add the ground coffee
Remove the filter basket by grasping
the handle and lifting straight up, and
then place it on the countertop. Insert
a #4 paper filter or permanent filter. Be
sure that the paper filter is completely
open and fully inserted in the basket. It
may help to fold and flatten the seams
of a paper filter beforehand. Add one
level scoop of ground coffee per cup.
Adjust the amount according to taste.
Replace the filter basket in the filter
basket holder and press firmly on
cover to be sure it closes securely.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for
this coffeemaker. Exceeding this
amount may cause overflow if the
coffee is too finely ground.
5.
Before brewing coffee
Make sure the thermal carafe is in
position on the heater plate and the
top cover is closed. Plug the cord into
an electrical outlet.
6.
Power unit
Press the On/Off button, and the red
indicator light will turn on. Or, press the
PROG button and the green indicator
will light, and the delayed start time
you’ve selected will appear in the LCD
display.
7.
After brewing is complete
Coffee will continue to stream from the
filter for several seconds.
Brew Pause
™
Feature
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee
from the basket to let you pour that first
cup mid-brew. Because the flavor
profile of coffee brewed at the start of a
cycle differs from that brewed towards
the end, be aware that using this feature
will weaken the flavor strength of the
finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than
20 seconds may cause filter basket to
overflow.
