 Fully immerse the charcoal water filter in cold tap 
water and soak for 15 minutes. Flush filter by running 
cold tap water through holes in bottom of compartment 
for 10 seconds (see complete instructions on page 8 of 
your instruction booklet). Insert the filter into the water 
filter holder. Open the water reservoir and place filter 
holder into the unit.

Pour your desired amount of water into the 
water reservoir. A water level indicator is 
located on the side of the unit.  

Helpful Hint:

 “Pre-heat” your carafe by 

rinsing it out with hot water before brewing.

Open the filter basket door by pressing the 
Release button, and insert a paper filter or 
permanent filter into the filter basket holder. 
Replace the cover, and close door.

Remove hopper lid, fill with beans, 
and replace the lid.

To start grinding & brewing, press the BREW 
button. Once the coffee has finished brewing, 
five beeps will sound. The unit will  
immediately shut off. The thermal carafe will 
keep coffee hot for hours.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the coffeemaker. 
Select the amount of cups you wish to brew by turning 
the Grind Control knob. Select your desired coffee 
strength by pressing the Strength button. Your selected 
coffee strength will be indicated in the bar on the LCD 
display.

IMPORTANT

Do not throw away. Read before operating your new 

Brewing System. Keep for future reference.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your Cuisinart

®

 Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker for the 

first time: BE SURE TO REMOVE POLYBAGS FROM CARAFE AND COFFEEMAKER. PLACE CARAFE BACK 
ONTO BASE. During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We recommend 
flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply follow “Making Coffee with Pre-
Ground Beans,” page 10 in the Instruction Booklet. Skip step #1 and be sure to use only water and a paper 
filter…no coffee! Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!
