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, buy only a two-week supply of fresh coffee beans at a time. Once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly. That’s why Cuisinart grinds your beans just prior to brewing.

• Element 3: Grind
  A burr grinder produces maximum flavor from coffee beans. The process actually crushes the bean, to release more of the oils and flavors that create the best-tasting coffee. The texture of the grind is critical. Too fine, and it may clog the filter. Too coarse, and water passes through too quickly to extract the full coffee flavor. Your coffeemaker is preset for medium, the optimal grind for this type of brewing process.

• Element 4: Proportion
  Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Your coffeemaker automatically grinds the right amount of beans for the strength level and number of cups you choose. If using pre-ground coffee, start by using 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of ground coffee per cup, and later adjust the amount to your taste.

• 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 customer service, or at www.cuisinart.com.

BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply follow Making Coffee with Pre-Ground Beans, page 10. 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 for Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee, above.

1. Insert Charcoal Water Filter
   Follow directions for the preperation and insertion of the charcoal water filter on page 8.

2. Fill the Water Reservoir
   Open the reservoir lid 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
   Remove the hopper lid. Add beans. We recommend keeping the hopper full to ensure there are always enough beans for the number of cups you want to brew. But be careful: Maximum capacity is ½ lb; overfilling the hopper may jam the grinder. Replace hopper lid.

4. Inserting the Coffee Filter
   Press the Filter Basket Door Release Button to open door. Open the Filter Basket Cover. (See page 5, #13)

   • Basket-style paper filter: Be sure filter is fully opened and touching walls of basket.
   • Cuisinart® commercial-style permanent filter: Position handle of our gold-tone filter toward front of coffeemaker so it does not obstruct water flow. Close the filter basket lid, and push the filter basket door closed until you hear it snap shut.
     NOTE: Do not use both, a paper filter and the included permanent filter at the same time. This will cause the unit to overflow.
     NOTE: The built-in safety interlock system will not allow unit to operate if filter or filter basket cover are not in place, or if the door is not properly closed. A continuous beep will sound until everything is in place.

5. Set Preferences

   • Press the ON/OFF button to turn the coffeemaker on. White LED will illuminate.
   • Turn the Grind Control knob until the number of cups you want to brew is displayed on the LCD screen. The burr grinder will grind the correct amount of beans, and automatically adjust the coffee/water ratio for low cup settings.
   • Press the Strength Control button to choose a regular, bold or extrabold flavor.
     NOTE: During the Selection Process, If the coffeemaker is untouched for 60 seconds, the ON/OFF indicator will go offand the unit will enter standby mode. To resume, press the ON/OFF button to return the coffeemaker to the previously selected settings.

6. Brewing

   • To brew right away
     Press the Brew button. The white Brew LED will light up and brewing will begin.

7. After Brewing
   When brew cycle is complete, five beeps will sound. The coffeemaker will enter Keep Warm and the ON/OFF indicator will remain on until the unit automatically shuts off after the 2-hour default or programmed auto-shutoff time. To exit the Keep Warm cycle, press the
   ON/OFF button.

MAKING COFFEE WITH PRE-GROUND BEANS

Follow instructions Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee.

1. Insert Charcoal Water Filter
   Follow directions for the preperation and insertion of the charcoal water filter on page 8.

2. Fill the Water Reservoir
   Open the reservoir lid 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. Inserting the Coffee Filter
   Follow instructions for Inserting the Coffee Filter (step 4 in Making Coffee with Whole Beans, page 9).

4. Add Pre-Ground Coffee
   Use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup, or more or less according to individual taste. Close the filter basket cover and close filter door, making sure you hear it snap shut.
   NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 level scoops. Exceeding that amount or using too fine a grind of coffee may cause the filter basket to overflow.

5. Press Grind OFF Button
   When this function is activated, the white LED will be illuminated.
   NOTE: When making coffee with pre-ground beans, the Grind Control and Strength functions will be disabled and the LCD will display the time of day.

     Press the Brew button. The white Brew LED will light up and brewing will begin.

   • To activate Auto ON
     To select the time you want coffee to start brewing, see Setting the Program Time instructions on page 7.

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-roaste beans can cause oils to coagulate; others diagree You’ll have to decide that one for youself!

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.
• After every use, remove the filter basket and permanent or paper filter. Discard coffee grounds and paper filter. Remove carafe and pour out any remaining coffee. The permanent filter, filter bas-ket, carafe and lid 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.
• If you forget to empty the filter basket after brewing, EMPTY will appear in the display and the machine will not operate. Open the filter basket door, empty the basket, and close the door. The message will disappear and your coffeemaker is ready to use.

TO CLEAN GRINDER OF COFFEE BEANS

1. Remove hopper cover.
2. Scoop out remaining beans from the hopper.
3. Place the clean, dry filter basket assembly in place (a paper filter can be used if desired).
4. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the coffeemaker on.
5. Press and hold down the Brew button until the coffeemaker begins to grind the beans.
6. After grinding stops, be sure to turn coffeemaker off.
7. Dispose of or re-purpose coffee grinds in filter basket.
8. Use a damp cloth to clean the hopper.
9. Leave the cover off to let the hopper dry completely before adding coffee beans.

MAINTENANCE

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

DECALCIFICATION

• The decalcification process removes 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 will depend upon the hardness of your tap water and frequency of use.

• The CLEAN indicator will flash in the display when the coffeemaker is turned on, signaling that it is time to decalcify the unit.
  NOTE: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remember to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter holder located in the water reservoir.

• To decalcify your coffeemaker, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water. Turn on the coffeemaker and press the Program button 3 times to enter CLEAN mode. Hold down the Program button until the CLEAN icon begins to flash. Press the Brew button to begin the clean cycle. One cycle should be sufficient to clean your coffeemaker.
  NOTE: The CLEAN icon will continue to flash until the cycle is complete. When the cycle is completed and the 5 beeps sound, press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off. If the CLEAN icon remains on the LCD display, repeat the operation once more, using only fresh cold water.
