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 PreGround Beans,” page 9. Skip step #1 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!

MAKING COFFEE WITH WHOLE BEANS

Follow instructions in “Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee” above.

1. Insert Charcoal Water Filter

Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the charcoal water filter on page 9.

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 10-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.

NOTE: Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use 1½ level scoops per cup. Do not add over 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.

• 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.
• 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

5. Put Filter Basket Lid in Place and Close Filter Door

6. Close Reservoir Cover Lid

Press down to lock. This coffeemaker is equipped with a safety interlock system, which prevents the unit from operating if the cover is open or the grinder cover is left out. 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. If you open the cover during the grinding process, it will beep, the grinder will stop grinding and, if brewing, the brewing will stop. Once the missing parts are in place and the cover is closed, the beeping stops. The brewing process can be restarted by pressing the On button. Restarting the process will not affect coffee results. If you do not want the grinder to come on again, press the Grind Off button before pressing the On button.

7. Prepare the Carafe

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 and lock by turning it 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 cover is closed and in the proper position for brewing and pouring. Make sure you have replaced the thermal carafe in its position on the resting plate.

8. Brewing

To Brew Right Away

a. Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups.

NOTE: Coffeemakers traditionally produce cooler coffee when brewing small pots because the heater doesn’t have time to warm up. This setting double heats water for piping hot coffee.

b. Press On/Off button. Red LED will light up and brewing will begin.

To Program Brew Time

a. To select the time you want coffee to start brewing, press the Program button and hold it. The time displayed in the window is the programmed start time. To change time, follow “Setting The Program Time” instructions on page 7.

b. Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups.

c. Press and release Program button. Green LED indicates that the unit is in programmed-start mode and the brew cycle will begin at the time you selected.

9. After Brewing

When brew cycle is complete, five beeps will sound and unit will automatically shut itself off. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. The thermal carafe will keep coffee hot for hours. Bottom of thermal carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing. Use caution

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.

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 (see page 6. #13 and #14).
• 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 customer service, or at cuisinart.

• Some experts feel freezing dark-roast beans can cause oils to coagulate; others disagree. You'll have to decide that one for yourself!

MAKING COFFEE WITH PRE-GROUND BEANS

Follow instructions in “Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee,” page 7.

1. Fill the Reservoir and Insert Filter

See steps #1 and #3 in “Making Coffee with Whole Beans,” page 7.

2. Add Pre-Ground Coffee

Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe according to taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

3. Press Grind Off Button

When this function is activated, an amber LED will come on.

4. Follow steps #4 through #8 in “Making Coffee with Whole Beans.”

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.

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 all 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. Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker. Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.

Wipe resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

*Note: Reservoir lid can also be removed for easy cleaning. Open the lid 60˚ and gently pull toward you. To replace, reverse steps.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your 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.

To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water. Turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the ON button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold water.
