3. Add Beans
Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess
on either side. Fill the basket with the desired
quantity of beans and replace lid.
NOTE:
Use 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon
[15 ml]) of whole beans per cup. For 1 to
4 cups, use 1½ level scoops per cup. Do not
add more than 14 scoops. This could cause
the grinder to malfunction and/or the
coffeemaker to overflow.
4. Insert Coffee Filter
Press the filter basket door release button
to open door and place either a paper
filter
OR
permanent filter in the basket.
• Paper Filter – place a #4 basket paper
filter in the basket, making sure the filter
is completely open and touching the side
walls and bottom of basket.
• Cuisinart’s Commercial-Style Permanent
Filter – Be sure the filter handle is facing
away from the grinder basket, so it does not
interfere with the flow of ground coffee into
the filter basket.
NOTE:
Some ground coffee
may flow into the carafe.
5. Put Filter Basket in Place and Close
Filter Door
6. Close Reservoir Cover Lid
Press down to lock. This coffeemaker is
equipped with a safety interlock system,
which prevents the unit from operating if the
cover is open or the grinder cover is left out.
If you try to turn the unit on with the cover
open, the unit will beep continuously until the
missing parts are installed and you close the
lid. If you open the cover during the grinding
process, it will beep, the grinder will stop
grinding and, if brewing, the brewing will
stop. Once the missing parts are in place
and the cover is closed, the beeping stops.
The brewing process can be restarted by
pressing the Brew/Off button. Restarting
the process will not affect coffee results.
If you do not want the grinder to come on
again, press the Grind Off button before
pressing the Brew button.
7. Put Carafe in Place
Make sure the thermal carafe is in position on
the resting plate and the top cover is closed.
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
8. Brewing
To Brew Right Away
a. Push the 1-4 cup button if you are
brewing fewer than 5 cups.
NOTE:
Coffeemakers traditionally produce
cooler coffee when brewing small pots
because the heater doesn’t have time to
warm up. This setting double heats water
for piping hot coffee.
b. Press the Brew/Off button. Blue LED
will light up and brewing will begin
To Brew Later
a. Push the 1-4 cup button if you are
brewing fewer than 5 cups.
b. Press and release the Program button.
The blue LED indicates that the unit is
in programmed-start mode and the brew
cycle will begin at the time you selected.
To change time, follow “Setting The
Program Time” instructions (page 6).
9. After Brewing
When brew cycle is complete, five beeps
will sound and unit will automatically shut
itself off. Coffee will continue to stream from
the filter for several seconds.
Bottom of
thermal carafe is hot to touch for several
seconds after brewing. Use caution.
