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 1 scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 scoops

(15 tablespoons) for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause over- flow if the coffee is too finely ground.

Replace the filter basket in the filter bas- ket holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely.

5.Before brewing coffee

Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heating plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

6.Power unit on

Turn the Function knob to brew, press the on/off button, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see page 7) and the green indi- cator will light.

7.After brewing

When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds.

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.

Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening.

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 toward 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.

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, or at www.cuisinart.
