3a. To Remove Hopper to Add Beans
Lift off the hopper lid and turn the hopper
release knob to line up arrows in the UNLOCK
position. Lift the hopper out of the unit, add
beans, and replace hopper, making sure the
release knob is still in the UNLOCK position.
Then turn the knob to line up the arrows in the
LOCK position. And don’t worry. A built-in safety
interlock system prevents the grinder from
operating if the hopper is not properly inserted.
A continuous beep sounds until the hopper is
securely locked into place.
Warning: Never add water to the reservoir when
hopper is removed. If water gets into the grinder
motor, it may become damaged and malfunction.
4. Inserting the Coffee Filter
Press the Filter Basket Door Release Button to
open door. Remove the filter basket cover
(see page 6, #17).
• Basket-style paper filter: Be sure filter is fully
opened and touching walls of basket.
• Cuisinart commercial-style
permanent filter:
Position handle of our
gold-tone filter toward front of coffeemaker
so it does not obstruct water flow.
Put filter basket cover in place, with arrows
aligned, and push the filter basket door closed
until you hear it snap shut.
NOTE: The built-in safety interlock system will
not allow unit to operate if filter or filter basket
cover are not in place, or if the door is not
properly closed. A continuous beep will sound
until everything is in place.
5. Brewing
To Brew Right Away
a. Turn the Grind Control knob to select the
number of cups you want to brew. The burr
grinder will grind the correct amount of
beans, and automatically adjust the coffee/
water ratio for low cup settings.
b. Press the Strength Control button to select
flavor intensity: MILD, MED or STRONG will
show on the LCD display.
c. Press On/Off button. Red LED will light up
and brewing will begin.
To Program Brew Time
a. To select the time you want coffee to start
brewing, press the Program button and hold
it. The time displayed in the window is the
programmed start time. To change time,
follow instructions on pages 7-8.
b. Turn the Grind Control knob to select the
number of cups you want to brew.
c. Press the Strength Control button to select
flavor intensity. MILD, MED or STRONG will
appear in the LCD display.
d. Press and release Program button. Green
LED indicates that the unit is in programmed-
start mode and the brew cycle will begin at
the time you selected.
6. After Brewing
When brew cycle is complete, five beeps
will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from
the filter for several seconds. Coffeemaker will
automatically shut off after two hours, or at
the programmed auto-shutoff time.
TIPS AND HINTS
• If you buy large portions of beans, separate them
into one or two week portions and store them in
airtight containers in the freezer. Preserve freshness
by minimizing exposure to air, light, and moisture.
Once beans are removed from the freezer, keep
them in a sealed container at room temperature,
since damaging condensation can occur when
beans move from cold to warmer temperatures.
• Some experts feel freezing dark-roast beans can
cause oils to coagulate; others disagree. You’ll have
to decide that one for yourself!
Brew Pause™ Feature
Our Brew Pause™ feature interrupts the flow
of coffee from the basket to let you pour that
“first” cup mid-brew. Be aware that using
this feature will weaken the flavor strength of
the finished pot, because the flavor profile of
coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle
differs from coffee made at the end.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
