Before brewing coffee:
Make sure you have replaced the glass carafe in
its position on the warming plate and closed the
top cover. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
4. Power unit:
Turn the function knob to the “On” position and
the red indicator will light. Or set the Auto On
function, and the green indicator will light.
5. During and after brewing:
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to
remove the carafe from the heater before brew
cycle is finished. The brewing process does
not stop during this period; only the flow of
coffee from the basket. Do not remove the
carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the coffee
may overflow from the basket stops. While we
offer this feature, we do not recommend you
pour the coffee before the cycle has reached
completion, since the coffee brewed at the
beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile
which is very different from the flavor at the
end of the cycle. Removing a cup during
the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the
finished pot.
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it
before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee
at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat
stronger than the coffee at the top.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Completely clean and dry all parts after
every use.
Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and
discard the paper filter and ground coffee.
The filter basket can be washed in warm
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned
in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all
parts after use.
Do not put any water in the unit once
the filter basket has been removed.
Wipe the area under the filter basket
with a damp cloth.
Remove the carafe from the warming plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and
lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and
rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.
The carafe and carafe lid should be placed in
the upper rack only.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.
Wipe warming plate with a clean, damp
cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials
or cleansers to clean the warming plate.
Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir
with a cloth, as lint may remain.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium
deposits that form on the metal parts of the
coffeemaker over time.
For best performance from your Cuisinart
coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit every
so often. The frequency depends upon the
hardness of your tap water and how often
you use the coffeemaker.
To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity
with a mixture of
1
⁄3 white vinegar and
2
⁄3 water.
Turn the function knob to on. One cycle should
be sufficient to adequately clean the coffee-
maker. When the cycle is completed, the five
beeps will sound. Then run one cycle of fresh
cold water through the unit before using the
unit again to brew coffee.
REPLACING THE
WATER FILTER
a. Remove the new 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 reservoir
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. Remove the old filter from the holder and
discard.
f. Place the new 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.
g. Close the water filter holder; you will hear a
snap indicating it is in place.
h. 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.
