3. Lock Hopper
If you have removed the hopper from the unit,
be sure that the hopper container release knob
is in the unlocked position and place the hopper
container back in the unit.
Turn the knob to locked position.
This unit is equipped with a safety interlock
system. The unit will not grind if the hopper
container is not in place. If you try to turn on the
unit for grinding with the hopper out of place,
the unit will beep continuously until the missing
part is installed.
The brewing process can be restarted by
pressing the On button. Restarting the process
will not affect coffee results.
4. Insert Coffee Filter
Open filter door by pressing filter basket door
release button. Remove filter basket cover and
place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s
commercial style permanent filter in the basket.
Note: When using our permanent filter, be sure
that the handle is positioned toward the front of
the unit. If you do not, the handle may interfere
with the flow of coffee into the filter basket.
Also note: Using our permanent gold-tone filter
will allow some fine coffee grounds to fall into
the carafe.
When using a paper filter, be sure that the filter
is completely open while touching the side walls
and bottom of the basket.
Put filter basket cover in place. Close filter door.
(You will hear a click if the door is properly shut.)
The unit is equipped with a safety interlock
system. The unit will not operate if the filter
basket cover or filter basket are not in place or if
the filter door is not closed. If you try to turn the
unit on while the filter compartment is out of
place, the unit will beep continuously until the
missing part(s) are installed.
Before Brewing Coffee
Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the
direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe
by rinsing it out with hot water. PREWARMING
THE CARAFE WILL HELP KEEP THE COFFEE
HOTTER.
Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the
lid, turn in the direction of the lock arrow until it
fits tightly on carafe and arrow lines up in the
center of the pour spout. This ensures that the
lid is closed and in the proper position for
brewing and pouring.
Make sure you have replaced the thermal carafe
in it’s position on the resting plate and closed
the top cover.
5. Brewing
A. Immediate Grinding and Brewing

setting. The coffeemaker will grind the
corresponding amount of beans. The unit
will process low cup setting to improve
extraction and flavour when 2 or 4 cups is
chosen.
2. Press the Strength Control button to set
coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG
will show on the LCD display.
3. Press the On button. The indicator will light
and the process will begin.
B. Programmed Brewing
Press the Program button. The indicator
will light and the display will show the
programmed time for as long as the button
is depressed. The display reverts back to
time of day once the button is released.
(To set the programmed time, see
Programming Your Coffeemaker on page 8.)

6. During and After Brewing
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove
the carafe from the resting 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 flavour 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. After
brewing, the unit will automatically shut itself
off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot
for hours.
