For Your Safety
ß
Do not touch hot surfaces, use handles and knobs.
ß
Ensure the lid is securely fastened to the carafe before positioning under the fi lter chamber and before pouring
coffee once brewed.
ß
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brew cycle.
ß
Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe with a loose handle. If your carafe is damaged contact the Cuisinart
Helpline. (See “UK After Sales Service”).
ß
Never open the lid during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the fi lter basket, since extremely
hot water/coffee can spill out from the fi lter basket and cause injury. If water/ coffee is not draining from the
fi lter basket during the brewing cycle, switch off and unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before opening the
top lid and checking the fi lter basket.
Caution:
Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the fi lter basket can occur under any or a combination
of any of the following conditions: the use of too fi nely ground coffee, using two or more paper fi lters, using the
gold tone fi lter in conjunction with a paper fi lter or not properly cleaning coffee grounds from the gold tone
fi lter, or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the fi lter.
