PROGRAMMING YOUR

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, so as 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 .

SETTING THE AUTO ON TIME

a previously selected Auto On time or the default time 

(12:00pm) .

MAKING COFFEE

1.   Insert charcoal water filter 

Follow directions on page 6, for the preparation and 

insertion of the filter . 

2.   Fill the water reservoir

 

a .  Remove lid from reservoir, then lift reservoir 

straight up and away from the coffeemaker .

  b .  Fill reservoir with water for the number of cups 

you are brewing and return with lid to unit  

(see figure 1) .

  

NOTE:

 If water gets under the coffee tank or water 

reservoir, it will end up in the drip tray .

3.  Set preferences 

Push the 1–4 Cup button if you are brewing fewer  

than 5 cups

.

4.  Add the ground coffee 

Insert a #4 paper filter 

OR

 permanent filter into 

the filter basket . Be sure that the 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 scoop (1 tablespoon = ~6 

grams) of ground coffee per cup . Adjust the amount 

according to taste .

BEFORE BREWING YOUR  

FIRST POT OF COFFEE

During the manufacturing process, dust can get 

trapped in your coffeemaker . We recommend flush-

ing out the system before brewing your first cups of 

coffee . Simply fill the water reservoir and power on 

the unit . (See steps #2 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE 

instructions, below) .  

DO NOT ADD COFFEE! 

Once you’ve done that, brew your favorite coffee and  

get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!
