MAKING COFFEE
Before making the first pot of coffee in your new
Cuisinart
® 4-cup Coffeemaker, we recommend
operating the coffeemaker once using only water
and a filter paper. This will remove any dust or
residues in the system which remain from the
manufacturing process.
1. Fill the water reservoir:
Remove the carafe from the warming plate. Open
the carafe cover and fill with cold water to just over
the amount of coffee you are making. Close the
carafe cover. Lift the water reservoir lid and pour the
water from the carafe into it. Replace the carafe on
the warming plate.
2. Add the ground coffee:
Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and
lifting straight up, and place it on the counter top.
Insert a #2 paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure
that the paper filter is completely open and fully
inserted into the basket. It may help to fold and
flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add
the desired amount of ground coffee, corresponding
to the number of cups being brewed. Many coffee
bars and the Specialty Coffee Association of
America recommend adding 2 rounded tablespoons
(25 ml) of coffee per 6 ounces (175 ml) of water.
Some coffee manufacturers recommend using one
tablespoon (15 ml) per cup. We recommend 1 to
1 1/2 tablespoons (15 to 25 ml) of ground coffee per
cup, but use more or less to suit your taste.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder
and flip the water reservoir lid closed. Be sure that it
closes securely in place.
Before brewing coffee:
Make sure you have replaced the glass carafe into
its position on the warming plate. Plug the cord into
an electrical outlet.
3. Power unit:
Push the rocker switch to “on”. The indicator
will light.
4. During and after brewing:
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove the
carafe from the warming plate during mid brew. The
brewing process does not stop during this period,
only the flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do not
remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the
coffee may overflow the basket. While we offer this
feature, we do not recommend you pour the coffee
before the cycle has reached completion, since the
coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a
flavour profile which is very different from the flavour
at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the
brewing cycle will alter the flavour of the finished pot.
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before
serving to blend the flavours. The coffee at the
bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger
than the coffee at the top.
After brewing, the warming plate will keep the coffee
at about 180-185° F (82-85° C). We recommend
transferring the coffee to a thermal carafe preheated
with hot water if the coffee is not going to be con-
sumed within 20 minutes.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY
ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE
.
Always turn the coffeemaker OFF and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning it.
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard
the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket
can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the
dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the filter
basket has been removed. Wipe the area under
the filter basket with a damp cloth.
Remove the carafe from the warming plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid
can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The carafe
and carafe lid should be placed on the upper
rack only.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers
on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean,
damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe warming
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough,
abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the
warming plate. Do not dry the inside of the water
reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium
deposits that form over time on the metal parts of
the coffeemaker.
