  3.   Add  Beans   

Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess 
on either side. Fill the basket with the 
desired quantity of beans and replace lid.

NOTE:

 Use 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of 

whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use 
1½ level scoops per cup. Do not add more 
than 14 scoops. This could cause the grinder 
to malfunction and/or the coffeemaker to  
overflow.

  4. Insert Coffee Filter 

     Press the filter basket door release button to 

open door and place either a paper filter 

OR 

 

permanent filter in the basket.

• Paper Filter – place a #4 basket paper  

filter in the basket, making sure the filter  
is completely open and touching the side 
walls and bottom of basket.

• Cuisinart’s Commercial-Style Permanent 

Filter – Be sure the filter handle is facing 
away from the grinder basket, so it does 
not interfere with the flow of ground coffee 
into the filter basket. 

NOTE:

 Some ground 

coffee may flow into the carafe.

  5.  Put Filter Basket in Place and Close  

Filter Door

  6.  Close Reservoir Cover Lid 

 

Press down to lock. This coffeemaker is 
equipped with a safety interlock system, 
which prevents the unit from operating if the 
cover is open or the grinder cover is left out. 
If you try to turn the unit on with the cover 
open, the unit will beep continuously until 
the missing parts are installed and you close 
the lid. If you open the cover during the 
grinding process, it will beep, the grinder will 
stop grinding and, if brewing, the brewing 
will stop. Once the missing parts are in place 
and the cover is closed, the beeping stops. 
The brewing process can be restarted by 
pressing the Brew/Off button. Restarting the 
process will not affect coffee results. If you 
do not want the grinder to come on again, 
press the Grind Off button before pressing 
the Brew button.

  7.  Put Carafe in Place 

 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.

  8.   Brewing   

To Brew Right Away 

 a.  Push the 1-4 cup button if you are  

brewing fewer than 5 cups.

NOTE:

 Coffeemakers traditionally produce 

cooler coffee when brewing small pots 
because the heater doesn’t have time to 
warm up. This setting double heats water 
for piping hot coffee.

 b.  Press the Brew/Off button. Blue LED will 

light up and brewing will begin

     To Brew Later 

a.  Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing 

fewer than 5 cups.

b.  Press and release the Program button. 

The blue LED indicates that the unit is in 
programmed-start mode and the brew 
cycle will begin at the time you selected. 
To change time, follow “Setting The 
Program Time” instructions (page 6).

  9.   After  Brewing 

 When brew cycle is complete, five beeps  
will sound and unit will automatically shut 
itself off. Coffee will continue to stream from 
the filter for several seconds. 

Bottom of 

thermal carafe is hot to touch for several 
seconds after brewing. Use caution.
