Setting Up Your Coffeemaker

1. Unwrap cord and plug the coffeemaker into a grounded outlet. Make sure to remove packing tape, clear plastic sticker from control panel, and sticker from water reservoir. Also be sure to remove the polybag from the HomeBarista™ Reusable Filter Cup located in the compartment on the right side of the coffeemaker.

The control panel will display BREWING, AUTO OFF SET, as well as the factory default brew size (see figure 3). When cycle is complete, dispose of the hot water. Note: Do not use a capsule for this cycle. Also Note: The default AUTO OFF TIME is set to 30 min. You can change this in settings (See page 14).

Charcoal Water Filter

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

Cleaning the Water Reservoir & Lid

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.

Caution: Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly after cleaning to ensure that no cleaners or cleaning solutions remain in this area, as they may contaminate the coffeemaker’s water supply

De-Scaling Your Coffeemaker

Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your coffeemaker. Though scale is nontoxic, it can hinder coffeemaker performance. De-scaling your coffeemaker will help maintain the heating element and other coffeemaker parts that come in contact with water.

coffeemaker every 3 to 6 months. It is possible for calcium deposits to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often.

This coffeemaker is equipped with sensors to detect when scale buildup is interfering with the performance of the coffeemaker. When this is detected, DE-SCALE will be displayed on the control panel (see figure 27), at which point you should promptly de-scale. However, even if DE-SCALE is not displayed, it is still advisable that you de-scale your coffeemaker regularly

Note: Though the coffeemaker will continue to function even when DE-SCALE is displayed, not de-scaling at that point could damage the coffeemaker.

Follow these steps to de-scale your unit:

1. Empty the reservoir.

2. Disable the AUTO OFF and OFF TIME features.

3. Making sure there is no capsule in the brewing chamber, fill the reservoir with 20 oz. of white vinegar, plus 40 oz. of water.

4. Place a large mug on the drip tray. Press and hold the HOT WATER and RINSE buttons to start the de-scale process. Discard contents of mug.

5. Repeat Step 4 until ADD WATER is displayed on the control panel.

6. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly and fill with fresh water.

7. Run another Hot Water cycle (see page 11). Discard contents of large mug.

8. Repeat hot water process until ADD WATER is displayed on the control panel.

9. You may need to perform additional Hot Water cycles if you detect any residual vinegar taste.

Note: If DE-SCALE is still displayed on the control panel after completing the procedure, repeat the de-scaling procedure above.

Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. Contact Cuisinart Consumer Service Center, 1-800-726-0190.

Cuisinart SS-10P1 Questions and Answers

  • Total questions: 1
  • Questions unAnswered : 1

#1 Can you use tap water in this coffee maker?
I highly recommend avoiding using tap water in any one cup coffee maker. It will clog the machine over time. Vinegar never works in any one cup coffee maker. I have used it for the keurig’s and other one-cup coffee makers. It will not unclog the machine. The best way to keep it running smoothly is using filtered water always. The carbon filters can only get a small portion of the junk out of tap water. The chlorine and lead will eventually ruin the coffee maker.

#2 Can it be used with 220 volts?
This model has been designed for 120 volt only.

#3 What’s the difference between this model and the $40 SS700
model? They look nearly identical.
There is no 700 model that I can find. There is a “renewed” SS10 for $40 off you may be thinking of. Still will cost $99. This is a superb coffee maker. They stand behind the 3-year warranty. I know because I had one replaced After 2.5 yrs. They are worth performing the routine cleanings as recommended.
