holding either button will allow you to scroll
continuously, slowly at first, and then to
accelerate to the rate of about three digits
per second. As the desired time setting
approaches, release the button and then press
repeatedly to advance one digit at a time.
The Automatic Shutoff Time (ASO) may be
programmed either before or during coffee
brewing. You may also re-program the ASO time
when brewing has been completed. If you do so,
the Automatic Grind & Brew
™
will automatically
account for any time that has already elapsed
after brewing. For example, if you set the ASO
for 40 minutes and 25 minutes have already
elapsed, the Grind & Brew
™
will shut off
automatically after 15 minutes (40 minutes
minus the 25 elapsed equals 15 minutes).

the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the
holder can cause tearing of the filter skin.

water for 10 seconds to flush. You should
place the hole openings in the side of the

have hard water.
Replacement water filters can be purchased
in stores or by calling customer service or
through the Cuisinart web site.

MAKING COFFEE

paper filter. This will remove any dust or
residues which remain in the system from
the manufacturing process.
