all the way down to the base of the unit,

every 60 days or 60 uses or more often if you
have hard water.
Replacement water filters can be purchased

Before you make the first pot of coffee in
your new Cuisinart
®
Grind & Brew Thermal
Automatic coffeemaker, we recommend oper-
ating the coffeemaker once, using only water
and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or
residues which remain in the system from
the manufacturing process.
1. fill the Water reservoir
Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release
button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount
of water in the reservoir using the step water
indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.
2. Add Beans
Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess
on either side. Fill the basket with the desired
quantity of beans.
(Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup.
For 1 to 4 cups, use 1½ level scoops per cup.
maximum capacity is 14 level scoops.
Do not overfill or the grinder could
malfunction and/or the coffeemaker
may overflow.
This is our suggested recipe.
Adjust the recipe to taste.)

Place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s

from the grinder basket. If you do not do
so, the handle may interfere with the flow
of ground coffee into the filter basket.
Also note: a permanent filter may allow
some ground coffee to flow into carafe.
The filter holder will help to keep the filter
open, but when using a paper filter, be
sure that the filter is completely open while
touching the side walls and bottom of
the basket.
Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter
door.
