BEFORE BREWING YOUR  

FIRST POT OF COFFEE

During the manufacturing process, dust 

can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We 

recommend flushing out the system 

before brewing your first pot of coffee. 

Simply fill the reservoir and power on the 

unit. (See steps #2, #5 and #6 in MAKING 

COFFEE instructions, below). 

DO NOT 

ADD COFFEE! 

Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real 

coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at 

its best! 

MAKING COFFEE 

Follow instructions in “Before Brewing 

Your First Pot of Coffee” above.

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 reservoir cover by lifting it 

up. Pour in the desired amount of 

water using the side water level  

indicator window located at the side  

of the coffeemaker. 

3. 

 

Set 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, and 

then place it on the countertop. Insert 

a #4 paper filter or permanent filter. 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 one 

level scoop of ground coffee per cup. 

Adjust the amount according to taste.

   Replace the filter basket in the filter  

basket holder and press firmly on 

cover to be sure it closes securely.

  

 

NOTE: The maximum capacity for 

ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for  

this coffeemaker. Exceeding this 

amount may cause overflow if the  

coffee is too finely ground. 

5. 

 

Before brewing coffee 

Make sure the thermal carafe is in  

position on the resting plate and the 

top cover is closed. Plug the cord into 

an electrical outlet.

6. 

 

Power unit 

Press the On/Off button, and the red 

indicator light will turn on. Or, press the 

PROG button and the green indicator 

will light, and the delayed start time 

you’ve selected will appear in the LCD 

display.

7. 

 

After brewing is complete 

 

Coffee will continue to stream from the 

filter for several seconds.

Brew Pause

 Feature

This feature interrupts the flow of coffee 

from the basket to let you pour that first 

cup mid-brew. Because the flavor 

profile of coffee brewed at the start of a 

cycle differs from that brewed towards 

the end, be aware that using this feature 

will weaken the flavor strength of the 

finished pot.

NOTE:

 Removing carafe for more than 

20 seconds may cause filter basket to 

overflow.
