the programming function is in use, and
the brewing cycle will begin at the
programmed time. At the programmed
time, the red light will come on with green
light, indicating that the brewing cycle is
starting. Both lights will go off after keep
warm cycle.
NOTE: if you leave the control knob in the
auto-on position and let the auto-off function
turn off the unit, it will not function again in
auto-on mode.
To activate auto-on again, you must turn
the knob to any other position, then back to
auto-on.
4. To program the Variable Auto Off:
Turn the function knob to the “Auto Off”
position. Press and hold the “Hour” button
for five seconds, until the clock display
starts blinking.
To change the hour and minutes, use the
pushbuttons as you would to set the time
of day. The Auto Off time can be set from
zero to four hours in minute increments. At
the end of the keep warm cycle, two beeps
will sound. If no auto off time is set, the
coffeemaker will turn off after two hours.
MAKING COFFEE
Before making the first pot of coffee in
your new Cuisinart
®
Filter Brew
™
Deluxe
Coffeemaker, we recommend operating
the coffeemaker once using only water
and a filter paper. This will remove any dust
or residues in the system that remain from
the manufacturing process.
1. Insert the Water Filter
a. Remove the filter from polybag and soak
in cold tap water for 15 minutes.
b. Remove the water filter holder from the
coffeemaker by lifting it out of the reser-
voir area with your thumb and forefinger.
c. Hold the water filter holder lengthwise
and place thumbs in slots directly under
arrows.
d. Pull open in opposite directions with
thumbs.
e. Place the filter in the holder recess area
at the bottom of the water filter holder.
NOTE: It will only fit correctly in one end
of this unit.
f. Close the water filter holder; you will hear
a snap indicating it is in place.
g. Hold the filter under cold running tap
water for 10 seconds to flush. You should
place the hole openings in the side of the
unit directly under the water stream.
h. Allow the filter to drain completely.
i. Replace the water filter holder in the
reservoir area of the coffeemaker, push-
ing it all the way down to the base of the
unit.
2. Fill the water reservoir:
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.
Open the carafe cover and fill with cold water
to just over the amount of coffee you are
making. This is to account for the amount of
water lost in wetting the grounds and lost as
steam during the brewing process. Close the
carafe cover. Lift the lid of the water reservoir
and pour the water from the carafe into it.
Replace the carafe on the heating plate.
3. Add the ground coffee:
Remove the filter basket by grasping the
handle and lifting straight up, and 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 into the
basket. It may help to fold and flatten the
seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add the
desired amount of ground coffee,
corresponding to the number of cups being
brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty
Coffee Association of America recommend
adding 2 rounded tablespoons of coffee per 6
ounces of water. Some coffee manufacturers
recommend using one tablespoon per cup.
We recommend using 1 tablespoon of ground
coffee per cup, but use more or less to suit
your taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 15 tablespoons for this 12 cup
coffeemaker. Exceeding these amounts
may cause overflow if the coffee is too
finely ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
holder and flip the water
reservoir lid closed. Be sure that it closes
securely in place.
