PROGRAMMING  

YOUR COFFEEMAKER

SETTING THE CLOCK

When the coffeemaker is plugged in,  
12:00 will flash.

TURN THE FUNCTION KNOB TO CLOCK 

Press Hour and Minute buttons to select the 
desired time. Hold buttons down to scroll 
through the digits, or press and release to 
advance one digit at a time. When scrolling,  
the numbers will advance slowly and then 
speed up. When the number displayed 
approaches the desired time, press and release 
to advance one digit at a time. Be sure the PM 
indicator is on if a PM time is desired. To finish 
setting the clock, turn the Function knob to any 
other setting or simply wait until the numbers 
stop blinking.

SETTING THE AUTO-ON TIME

When you turn the Function knob to PROG, the 
previously selected Auto On time, or the default 
time (12:00) will flash.

1.  Turn the Function knob to PROG. Follow 

directions under SETTING THE CLOCK,  
(in previous section) to program your  
start-brew time.

2.  Turn the Function knob to AUTO ON.  

The LCD will display the current time.

3.  Press and release On/Off button to activate.

The white AUTO ON light will illuminate, 
indicating that the coffeemaker is in Auto On 
mode. The On/Off white indicator light will 
illuminate when the brew cycle begins at the 
time you have selected. Both lights will go off 
when Keep Warm cycle ends.

NOTE:

 To start brew time at the same time the 

next day, simply make sure the Function knob is 
on Auto On and press and release On/Off 
button once more. The white Auto On light will 
go on.

CHARCOAL WATER FILTER

Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water 
filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and 
odours from tap water.

Inserting the Water Filter

•  Remove the filter from the 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.ca.
