BREWING COFFEE
Follow instructions in Before First Use
on previous page.
1. Insert charcoal water filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filter on page 7.
2. Fill the water reservoir
Open the Coffeemaker reservoir cover by
lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of
water using the water level indicator located
at the side of the coffeemaker.
3. Cup preference
Push the 1–4 cup button if you are brewing
fewer than 5 cups.
4. Add the ground coffee
Remove the filter basket by grasping the
handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4
paper filter
OR permanent filter. Be sure that
a paper filter is completely open and fully
inserted in the basket. It may help to fold
and flatten the seams of a paper filter
beforehand. Add 1 level scoop of ground
coffee per cup. Adjust the amount
according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for
this coffeemaker. Exceeding this
amount may cause overflow if the cof-
fee is too finely ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
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 heater 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 blue indicator light
will turn on. Or, set the AUTO ON function
(see page 7) and the Auto On indicator will
light.
7. After brewing is complete
When the brewing cycle has been
completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee
will continue to stream from the filter for
several seconds.
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 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
