BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir and power on the unit. (See steps #2 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!
