Cuisinart DCC-1200 Coffeemaker User Manual


 
ON to see if the Self Clean light continues to
flash. If it does, turn it to OFF and then repeat
the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of
vinegar and water.
If the Self Clean light no longer flashes, turn
the coffeemaker to OFF and then run one
cycle of fresh cold water through the unit
before using the unit again to brew coffee.
Notes on the Self Clean Function
Pressing the Self Clean button cancels all
other settings. If it is pressed accidentally,
press it again to return the coffeemaker to all
its previous settings. Pressing ON/OFF will
also exit the Self Clean Mode and turn the
coffeemaker OFF.
1-4 Cup Setting:
The 1-4 cup setting button is used when
you make small amounts of coffee. Normal
coffeemakers will produce a colder batch of
coffee when smaller amounts are made,
because the heater doesn't have enough time
to properly ‘warm up’ to heat a small amount.
The 1-4 setting basically ‘double heats’ the
water, making your smaller amount as piping
hot as a full pot would be.
To use: When making a smaller amount, press
the 1-4 button on the control panel after
turning on the unit.
Heater Plate ‘Keep Warm’ Control:
The knob on the right of the control panel
is the heater plate control setting for after
brewing temperature. You can choose one of
three heat settings to keep your coffee warm:
low, medium, or high.
MAKING COFFEE
Before you make the first pot of coffee
in your new Cuisinart
®
Brew Central
Coffeemaker, we recommend operating
the coffeemaker once using only water and a
paper filter. This will remove any dust or
residues that remain in the system 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 reservoir area with your thumb
and forefinger.
c. Grasp stem in one hand. Using thumb of
other hand, gently press down and pull
toward you. Compartment will flip open.
d. Place the filter in the holder and close the
water filter holder; you will hear a snap
indicating it is in place.
NOTE: Caution must be used when inserting
the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the
holder can cause tearing of the filter skin.
e. 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.
f. Allow the filter to drain completely.
g. Replace the water filter holder in the
reservoir area of the coffeemaker, pushing
it all the way down to the base of the unit,
along the reservoir wall.
Note: We recommend changing the water filter
every 60 days or 60 uses, more often if you
have hard water.
Replacement water filters can be purchased
in stores or by calling customer service or
through the Cuisinart web site.
