IMPORTANT 

SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, especially 
when children are present, basic safety 
precautions should always be taken to reduce 
the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to 
persons, including the following:

  1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
  2.  Always unplug from outlet when either 

the appliance or display clock is not in 
use and before cleaning. Allow to cool 
before putting on or taking off parts and 
before cleaning the appliance.

  3.  Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles  

and knobs.

  4.  To protect against electric shock, do not 

place cord, plug, or base unit in water or 
other liquids.

  5.  This appliance should not be used by  

or near children or individuals with certain 
disabilities.

  6.  Do not operate any appliance with a 

damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance 
malfunctions or has been dropped or  
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to 
the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for 
examination, repair, and electrical or 
mechanical adjustment.

  7.  The use of accessory attachments  

not recommended by Cuisinart may  
cause injuries.

  8. Do not use outdoors.
  9.  Do not let cord hang over edge of table  

or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

 10.  Do not place on or near a hot gas or  

electric burner, or in a heated oven.

 11.  Always fill water reservoir first, then plug cord 

into the wall outlet. To disconnect, push the 
Brew/Off button, then remove plug from wall 
outlet.

 12.  Do not use appliance for other than its 

intended use.

 13.  Lock lid securely onto carafe before  

serving any beverages.

 14.  Scalding may occur if the lid is removed  

during the brewing cycle.

 15.  The thermal carafe is designed for use with 

this appliance only. It must never be used on 
the range top.

 16.  Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or  

cold surface.

  17.  Do not use a damaged carafe or a carafe  

having a loose or weakened handle.

 18.  Do not clean carafe or resting plate with 

cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive 
materials.

 19.  WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK  

OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,  
DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL.  
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE 
INSIDE. REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE 
ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

 20.  Avoid contact with moving parts.
 21.  Check grinder basket for presence of  

foreign objects before using.

 22.  Use the coffee grinder to grind roasted 

coffee beans only. Grinding other 
substances, such as nuts, spices or 
unroasted beans, may dull the blade  
and cause poor grinding or injury.

 23.  Do not place cloth beneath coffeemaker or 

otherwise restrict airflow.

 24.  Use only the Cuisinart

®

 Gold-Tone 

Commercial-Style Filter or standard #4  
basket paper filter with this unit.  
OTHER GOLD TONE PERMANENT FILTERS  
MAY CAUSE THE COFFEEMAKER TO 
OVERFLOW. 

 25.  Do not operate your appliance in an  

appliance garage or under a wall cabinet.

 

When storing in an appliance garage, 
always unplug the unit from the electrical 
outlet.

 Not doing so could create a risk of 

fire, especially if the appliance touches the 
walls of the garage or the door touches the 
unit as it closes.
