(See steps #2, #5 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE instructions, below). DO NOT ADD COFFEE! Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best! MAKING COFFEE Follow instructions in “Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee” above. 1. Insert charcoal water filter Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the filter on page 7. 2. Fill the water reservoir Open the reservoir cover by lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using the side water level indicator window located at the side of the coffeemaker. 3. Set cup preference Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups. 4. Add the ground coffee Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and lifting straight up, and then place it on the countertop. Insert a #4 paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add one level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste. Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. 5. Before brewing coffee Make sure the carafe is in position on the heating plate and the top cover is on. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. 6. Power unit Press the On/Off button, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, press the PROG button and the green indicator will light, and the delayed start time you’ve selected will appear in the LCD display. 7. After brewing is complete Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. Brew Pause™ Feature This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed towards the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. 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 heating 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. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. Decalcification Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker. For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker. The flashing Clean light will indicate when you should clean your coffeemaker. If the Clean light begins to flash when the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium buildup is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of ... white vinegar and ... water. Press the Clean button. When the self clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the On/Off button. The Clean light will shine steadily. The coffeemaker is now in clean mode. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the coffeemaker on to see if the Clean light continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. If the Clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffeemaker off and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee.
