Cleaning Maintenance, During and After Brewing

6.During and After Brewing

The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove the carafe from the heating plate during mid-brew. The brewing process does not stop during this period; only the flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 20 seconds or the coffee may overflow the basket. While we offer this feature, we do not recommend that you pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile which is very different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.

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

MAKing COFFEE WITH PRE-GROUND BEANS

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once, using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or resi- dues that remain in the system from the manu- facturing process.

1.Fill the Water Reservoir

Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the water level window indicator. Close the res- ervoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12-cup line. Doing so may cause the carafe to overflow.

2.Add Coffee Grounds

a.Open filter door. Add ground coffee to our permanent or #4 paper filter. Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to your individual taste.

b.Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground cof- fee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

3.Brewing

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE.

Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

After every use, open filter basket door by pressing filter basket door release button. Remove filter basket cover, filter basket and gold tone filter or paper filter. Discard ground coffee and paper filter.

The filter, filter basket and filter basket cover can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.

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.

We suggest cleaning the hopper and coffee chute every 1-2 weeks depending on frequency of use.

To clean the hopper, remove hopper container and lid by turning the hopper container release knob to the unlocked position. Discard any left- over coffee beans.

The hopper container and hopper container lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.

Note: Do not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been removed. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction.

Wipe the area under the hopper container with a damp cloth.
