For Your Safety
ß Do not touch hot surfaces, use handles and knobs.
ß Ensure the lid is securely fastened to the carafe before positioning under the lter chamber and before pouring
coffee once brewed.
ß Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brew cycle.
ß Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe with a loose handle. If your carafe is damaged contact the Cuisinart
Helpline. (See “UK After Sales Service”).
ß Never open the lid during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the lter basket, since extremely
hot water/coffee can spill out from the lter basket and cause injury. If water/ coffee is not draining from the
lter basket during the brewing cycle, switch off and unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before opening the
top lid and checking the lter basket.
Caution: Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the lter basket can occur under any or a combination
of any of the following conditions: the use of too nely ground coffee, using two or more paper lters, using the
gold tone lter in conjunction with a paper lter or not properly cleaning coffee grounds from the gold tone
lter, or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the lter.
