Charcoal Water Filter
Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal
water filter that eliminates chlorine, bad
tastes and odors from tap water.
Inserting the Water Filter
• Remove the filter from polybag and soak it,
fully immersed, in cold tap water for 15
minutes.
• Lift the water filter holder out of the water
reservoir.
• Press down on the filter compartment and
pull toward you to open.
• Place filter into the holder and snap it
closed. Be careful – improper placement
can tear the filter skin.
• Flush filter by running
cold tap water through
holes in bottom of
compartment for
10 seconds.
• Allow the filter to drain
completely.
• Slide the water filter holder
back into the channel in the
water reservoir, pushing it
down to the base of the unit
.
NOTE:
We recommend
changing the water filter
every 60 days or after 60
uses, and more often if
you have hard water.
Replacement filters can
be purchased in stores, by
calling Cuisinart Customer
Service (1-800-472-
7606), or at
