Making Coffee, Insert the Water Filter

MAKING COFFEE

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Brew Central ThermalTM Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues that remain in the system from the manufacturing process..

1.Insert the Water Filter

a.Remove the filter from polybag and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.

b.Remove the water filter holder from the coffeemaker by lifting it out of the reservoir area with your thumb and forefinger.

c.Hold the water filter holder lengthwise and place thumbs in slots directly under arrows.

d.Pull open in opposite directions with thumbs.

e.Place the filter in the holder recess area at the bottom of the water filter holder.

NOTE: Caution must be used when inserting the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the holder can cause tearing of the filter skin.

f.Close the water filter holder; you will hear a snap indicating it is in place.

g.Hold the filter under cold running tap water for 10 seconds to flush. You should place the hole openings in the side of the unit directly under the water stream.

h.Allow the filter to drain completely.

i.Replace the water filter holder in the reservoir area of the coffeemaker, pushing it all the way down to the base of the unit.

NOTE: We recommend changing the water filter every 60 days or 60 uses – more often if you have hard water.

Replacement water filters can be purchased in stores, by calling customer service at

1-800-472-7606, or through the Cuisinart website, www.cuisinart.ca

2. Fill the water reservoir

Open the reservoir cover by lifting it up. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the step water level indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.

3. 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 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 (30 ml) of coffee per 6 ounces (170 ml) of water. Some coffee manufacturers recommend using 1 tablespoon (15 ml) per cup. We recommend using 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of ground coffee per cup, but use more or less to suit your taste.
