INSTRU|CTIONS MANUAL
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker for the first time: BE SURE TO REMOVE POLYBAGS FROM CARAFE AND COFFEEMAKER. PLACE CARAFE BACK ONTO BASE. 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 in the Instruction Booklet. 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!
Quick Reference SETUP Guide
1. Fully immerse the charcoal water filter in cold tap water and soak for 15 minutes. Flush filter by running cold tap water through holes in bottom of compartment for 10 seconds (see complete instructions on page 8 of your instruction booklet). Insert the filter into the water filter holder. Open the water reservoir and place filter holder into the unit.
2. Pour your desired amount of water into the water reservoir. A water level indicator is located on the side of the unit.
Helpful Hint: “Pre-heat” your carafe by rinsing it out with hot water before brewing.
3. Open the filter basket door by pressing the Release button, and insert a paper filter or permanent filter into the filter basket holder. Replace the cover, and close door.
4. Remove hopper lid, fill with beans, and replace the lid.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the coffeemaker. Select the amount of cups you wish to brew by turning the Grind Control knob. Select your desired coffee strength by pressing the Strength button. Your selected coffee strength will be indicated in the bar on the LCD display.
6. To start grinding & brewing, press the BREW button. Once the coffee has finished brewing, five beeps will sound. The unit will immediately shut off. The thermal carafe will keep coffee hot for hours.
Quick Reference PROGRAMMING Guide
1. To Set the Time: Press and hold the Hour or Minute button until the clock begins flashing. Hold down the Hour or Minute button to quickly scroll through the numbers.

FAQ:
Q: Why is my coffeemaker beeping?
A: The coffeemaker may beep if the filter door is not closed or if the filter basket is not in place. Ensure that both are properly closed and in place.
Q: Why is my coffee weaker than usual?
A: The coffee may be weaker than usual due to not enough beans in the hopper or an incorrect strength setting. Check the hopper for sufficient beans and adjust the strength setting accordingly.
Q: Why does “EMPTY” appear in the LCD display?
A: If “EMPTY” appears in the LCD display, it indicates that the hopper is too full. Remove some beans from the hopper to resolve the issue.
Q: Why does “CLEAN” flash on the LCD when the unit is turned on?
A: If “CLEAN” is flashing on the LCD when the unit is turned on, it means that the coffeemaker needs to be decalcified. Follow the decalcification instructions in the user manual to clean the machine.
