on the unit for grinding with the hopper out
of place, the unit will beep continuously
until the missing part is installed.
The brewing process can be restarted by
pressing the On button. Restarting the
process will not affect coffee results.
4. Insert Coffee Filter
Open filter door by pressing filter basket
door release button. Remove filter basket
cover and place a #4 basket paper filter or
Cuisinart’s commercial style permanent
filter in the basket.
Note:
When using our permanent filter, be sure
that the handle is positioned toward the front of
the unit. If you do not, the handle may interfere
with the flow of coffee into the filter basket.
Also note:
Using our permanent gold-tone filter
will allow some fine coffee grounds to fall into
the carafe.
When using a paper filter, be sure that the filter
is completely open while touching the side walls
and bottom of the basket.
Put filter basket cover in place. Close filter door.
(You will hear a click if the door is properly shut.)
The unit is equipped with a safety interlock
system. The unit will not operate if the filter
basket cover or filter basket are not in place or if
the filter door is not closed. If you try to turn the
unit on while the filter compartment is out of
place, the unit will beep continuously until the
missing part(s) are installed.
Before Brewing Coffee
Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the
direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe
by rinsing it out with hot water. PREWARMING
THE CARAFE WILL HELP KEEP THE COFFEE
HOTTER.
Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the
lid, turn in the direction of the lock arrow until it
fits tightly on carafe and arrow lines up in the
center of the pour spout. This ensures that the
lid is closed and in the proper position for
brewing and pouring.
Make sure you have replaced the thermal carafe
in it’s position on the resting plate and closed
the top cover.
5. Brewing
A. Immediate Grinding and Brewing
1. Turn the Grind Control Knob to set the
number of cups you want to brew. The
coffeemaker will grind the corresponding
amount of beans. The unit will automatically
adjust for low cup settings.

coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG
will show on the LCD display.
3. Press the On button. The indicator will light
and the process will begin.

6. During and After Brewing
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to
remove the carafe from the resting plate
during mid-brew. The brewing process
does not stop during this period; only the
flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do
not remove the carafe for longer than 20
seconds or the coffee may overflow the
basket. While we offer this feature, we do
not recommend that you pour coffee before
the cycle has reached completion, since
the coffee brewed at the beginning of the
cycle has a flavor profile which is very
different from the coffee made at the end of
the cycle. Removing a cup during the
brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the
finished pot.
When the brewing cycle is completed, five
beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to
stream from the filter for several seconds.
After brewing, the unit will automatically
shut itself off. The thermal carafe will keep
the coffee hot for hours.
Bottom of thermal carafe is hot to
touch for several minutes after brewing.
Use caution.
