BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply follow “Making Coffee with Pre-Ground Beans. Skip step #2 and be sure to use only water and a paper filter no coffee!

Once you've done that. brew a pot of real coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!

Charcoal Water Filter

• Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap water.

Inserting the Water Filter

• Remove the filter from polybag and soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap water for 15 minutes.
• Lift the water filter holder out of the water reservoir.
• Press down on the filter compartment and pull toward you to open.
• Place filter into the holder and snap it closed. Be careful - improper placement can tear the filter skin.
• Flush filter by running cold tap water through holes in bottom of compartment for 10 seconds.
• Allow the filter to drain completely.
• Slide the water filter holder back into the channel in the water reservoir. pushing it down to the base of the unit.

NOTE: We recommend changing the water filter every 60 days or after 60 uses. and more often if you have hard water.

Replacement filters can be purchased in stores. by calling Cuisinart Consumer Service.

MAKING COFFEE WITH WHOLE BEANS

1. Insert Charcoal Water Filter: Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the charcoal water filter

2. Fill the Water Reservoir

• Open the reservoir cover and pour in water. using the water level window indicator to measure the number of cups desired.
• NOTE: Do not exceed the 12-cup line. Doing so could cause carafe to overflow.

3. Add Beans: Lift the grinder basket lid. using the recess on either side. Fill the basket with the desired quantity of beans and replace lid.

NOTE: Use 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups. use
1% level scoops per cup. Do not add more than 14 scoops. This could cause the grinder to malfunction and/or the coffeemaker to overflow.

4. Insert Coffee Filter: Press the filter basket door release button to open door and place either a paper filter OR permanent filter in the basket.

• Paper Filter — place a #4 basket paper filter in the basket, making sure the filter is completely open and touching the side walls and bottom of basket.
• Cuisinart’s Commercial-Style Permanent Filter - Be sure the filter handle is facing away from the grinder basket. so it does not interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter basket. NOTE: Some ground coffee may flow into the carafe.

If you try to turn the unit on with the cover open. the unit will beep continuously until the missing parts are installed and you close the lid.

8. Brewing: To Brew Right Away

4. Follow Steps #5 though #8 in “Making: Coffee with Whole Beans. pages 8-9

BREW PAUSE FEATURE

• Our Brew Pause feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle differs from coffee made at the end.
• NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.

TIPS AND HINTS

• If you buy large portions of beans, separate them into one- or two-week portions and store them in airtight containers in the freezer. Preserve freshness by minimizing exposure to air, light, and moisture. Once beans are removed from the freezer, keep them in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation can occur when beans move from cold to warmer temperatures.
• Some experts feel freezing dark-roast beans can cause oils to coagulate; others disagree. You'll have to decide that one for yourself!

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. Open the reservoir lid’. Remove the grinder basket lid by using the recessed area on each side of the lid. Then remove grinder basket.Open filter basket door. Remove filter basket cover, filter basket and filter basket holder. The grinder basket, grinder basket lid. 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 alll parts after every use. Do not put any water in the unit once the grinder basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the grinder basket with a damp cloth. If water gets into the grinder motor. the motor may become damaged and may malfunction. Once clean. reverse the above steps. Remove the carafe from the resting 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 on the upper rack only.

MAINTENANCE

DECALCIFICATION

• Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of your coffeemaker. The mineral content of the tap water in your area and the frequency of use affects the rate of the calcium buildup, which can affect the functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor of your coffee.
• For best performance from your coffeemaker, we recommend cleaning it whenever the CLEAN LED indicator lights up. NOTE: Before decalcifying your unit, remove the charcoal water filter from the water reservoir.

To clean:

1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water.
2. Press and hold the CLEAN button. When the CLEAN LED indicator flashes, the coffeemaker is in Clean mode. Release the button.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will sound and the coffeemaker will shut off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once more, repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. NOTE: One cleaning cycle is usually sufficient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator remains off. run one cycle with a full reservoir of fresh, cold water to rinse the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water filter to the holder inside the water reservoir and your coffeemaker is ready to brew!
