6. During and After Brewing
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to
remove the carafe from the heating plate
during mid-brew. The brewing process
does not stop during this period; only the
flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do
not remove the carafe for longer than 20
seconds or the coffee may overflow the
basket. While we offer this feature, we do
not recommend that you pour 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 coffee made at the end of the
cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing
cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.
When the brewing cycle is completed, five
beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to
stream from the filter for several seconds.
MAKING COFFEE WITH
PRE-GROUND BEANS
Before you make the first pot of coffee in your
new Cuisinart
®
Fully Automatic Burr Grind &
Brew™ Coffeemaker, we recommend operating
the coffeemaker once, using only water and a
paper filter. This will remove any dust or resi-
dues that remain in the system from the manu-
facturing process.
1. Fill the Water Reservoir
Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired
amount of water in the reservoir using the
water level window indicator. Close the res-
ervoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12-cup
line. Doing so may cause the carafe to
overflow.
2. Add Coffee Grounds
a. Open filter door. Add ground coffee to
our permanent or #4 paper filter. Our
recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop
of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the
amount according to your individual
taste.
b. Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter
door.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground cof-
fee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or
permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may
cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

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.
After every use, open filter basket door by
pressing filter basket door release button.
Remove filter basket cover, filter basket and
gold tone filter or paper filter. Discard ground
coffee and paper filter.
The filter, filter basket and filter basket cover can
be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the
dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid
can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly.
We suggest cleaning the hopper and coffee
chute every 1-2 weeks depending on frequency
of use.
To clean the hopper, remove hopper container
and lid by turning the hopper container release
knob to the unlocked position. Discard any left-
over coffee beans.
The hopper container and hopper container lid
can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the
dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
Note: Do not put any water in the unit once the
hopper container has been removed. If water
gets into the grinder motor, the motor may
become damaged and may malfunction.
Wipe the area under the hopper container with
a damp cloth.
