THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

Element 1: WATER

Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew.

Element 2: COFFEE

While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose to grind your own beans, buy them fresh and whole. Grind only about a two-week supply at a time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly.

Element 3: GRIND

The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your own beans, we recommend a medium grind.

Element 4: PROPORTION

Add 1 scoop of ground coffee (1 scoop = 1 tablespoon = ~6 grams) per cup (1 cup = 5 fl. oz.). You may wish to adjust this amount according to your personal taste. Do not use more than 14 scoops (14 tablespoons).

SETTING UP YOUR COFFEEMAKER

  1. Unwrap cord and plug the coffeemaker into a grounded outlet. Make sure to remove all stickers and packing materials from the unit.
  2. Place a large cup or mug (10 oz. minimum) on the drip tray.
  3. Remove lid from water reservoir, then lift reservoir straight up and away from the coffeemaker. Wash the reservoir with warm soapy water, and rinse.
  4. Fill reservoir with water to the 12-cup line and return with lid to unit (see figure 1).

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

1. Remove the filter and filter holder from the polybags.

2. Soak the filter, fully immersed in cold tap water, for 15 minutes.

3. Press down on the filter compartment on the bottom of the filter holder and pull toward you to open.

4. Place the filter into the compartment (see figure 2) and snap it closed. Be careful – improper placement can tear the filter skin.

5. Flush filter by running fresh water through the hole in bottom of compartment for 10 seconds.

6. Allow the filter to drain completely.

7. Place the assembled water filter holder into the water reservoir, pushing it down to fit into place (see figure 3).

PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

SETTING THE CLOCK

When the coffeemaker is plugged in, 12:00 will appear until you set the time.

Turn the Function knob to CLOCK

Hold down the Hour or Minute button until the clock begins flashing. Press either button to select the desired time. Hold buttons down to scroll through the digits, or press and release to advance one digit at a time. When scrolling, the numbers will advance slowly and then speed up, so as number displayed approaches the desired time, press and release to advance one digit at a time. Be sure the PM indicator is on if a PM time is desired.

SETTING THE AUTO ON TIME

When you turn the Function knob to PROG, it displays a previously selected Auto On time or the default time (12:00pm).

1. Turn the Function knob to PROG

Follow directions under SETTING THE CLOCK (in previous section) to program your start-brew time.

2. Turn the Function knob to AUTO ON

LCD will display the current time.

3. Press and release ON/OFF button

A green light indicates that the coffeemaker is in Auto On mode. The blue ON/OFF light will come on when brew cycle begins. Both lights will go off when Keep Warm cycle ends.

NOTE: To start brew time at the same time the next day, simply make sure the Function knob is on Auto On and press and release ON/OFF button once more. Green Auto On light will go on.

SETTING THE AUTO OFF TIME

Turn the Function Knob to AUTO OFF The default Auto Off time is set to turn the coffeemaker off two hours after brewing is complete. Follow directions under SETTING THE CLOCK (in previous section) to program your coffeemaker to shut off from 0 to 4 hours after brew cycle is finished.

MAKING COFFEE

1. Insert charcoal water filter

Follow directions on page 6 for the preparation and insertion of the filter.

2. Fill the water reservoir

a. Remove lid from reservoir, then lift reservoir straight up and away from the coffeemaker.

b. Fill reservoir with water for the number of cups you are brewing, replace the lid and return to unit. (see figure 1).

NOTE: If only brewing 2 cups fill with water to the first line marking on the side of the water reservoir.

NOTE: If water gets under the coffee tank or water reservoir, it will end up in the drip tray.

3. Set preferences

Push the 1–4 Cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups.

4. Add the ground coffee

Insert a #4 paper filter OR permanent filter into the filter basket. Be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. Add 1 scoop (1 tablespoon = ~6 grams) of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 14 scoops (14 tablespoons) for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

5. Before brewing coffee

Make sure the water reservoir is on the unit and the reservoir lid is on the reservoir. Plug into an electrical outlet.

6. Power unit on

Turn the Function knob to Brew, press the ON/OFF button, and the blue indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function and the green indicator will light.

7. After brewing

When the brewing cycle has completed, five beeps will sound.

NOTE: The dispenser light illuminates the cup area when you press the lever to pour coffee into your mug.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard the filter and ground coffee.

Remove the filter basket, coffee reservoir and drip tray. These can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.

Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket and coffee reservoir have been removed. Wipe the area under the reservoir with a damp cloth.

Neither the reservoir lid nor the reservoir should be put into the dishwasher. Clean them with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive cloth and rinse thoroughly. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.

Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Decalcification

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your Coffee on Demand™Coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time.

The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker. The flashing Clean light will indicate when you should clean your coffeemaker.

NOTE: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remember to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter holder located in the water reservoir.

If the Clean light begins to flash when the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium buildup is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of ¹⁄³ white vinegar and ²⁄³ water. Press the Clean button. When the self-clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the ON/OFF button. The Clean light will shine steadily. The coffeemaker is now in Clean mode. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the coffeemaker on to see if the Clean light continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water.

If the Clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffeemaker off and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee
