NOTE: The maximum capacity for 
ground coffee is 17 tablespoons for  
this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount 
may cause overflow if the coffee is too 
finely ground.

  

 

Replace the filter basket in the filter bas-
ket holder and press firmly on cover to 
be sure it closes securely.

5. 

 

Before brewing coffee 

Make sure the glass carafe is in  
position on the heating plate and the 
top cover is closed. Plug the cord  
into an electrical outlet.

6. 

 

Power unit 

Turn the Function knob to BREW, press 
the ON/OFF button, and the red indicator 
light will turn on. Or, set the AUTO ON 
function (see page 7) and the green indi-
cator will light. 

7. 

 

After brewing 

 

 

When the brewing cycle has been  
completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee 
will continue to stream from the filter for 
several seconds.

 

 

Once the coffee has finished brewing,  
stir it before serving to blend the flavors.  
The coffee at the bottom of the carafe  
will be somewhat stronger than the  
coffee at the top.

 

 

Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during 
and directly after brewing. Wait at least  
10 minutes before opening.

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 diagram, page 5).

• 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.

Brew Pause™ Feature

This feature interrupts the flow of coffee 

from the basket to let you pour that first 

cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile 

of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle 

differs from that brewed towards the 

end, be aware that using this feature will 

weaken the flavor strength of the 

finished pot.

NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 

20 seconds may cause filter basket to 

overflow.
