Cuisinart DGB-500C Making Coffee, Turning OFF Grind Function, Fill the Water Reservoir, Add Beans

holding either button will allow you to scroll continuously, slowly at first, and then to accelerate to the rate of about three digits per second. As the desired time setting approaches, release the button and then press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time.

The Automatic Shutoff Time (ASO) may be programmed either before or during coffee brewing. You may also re-program the ASO time when brewing has been completed. If you do so, the Automatic Grind & Brew™ will automatically account for any time that has already elapsed after brewing. For example, if you set the ASO for 40 minutes and 25 minutes have already elapsed, the Grind & Brew™ will shut off automatically after 15 minutes (40 minutes minus the 25 elapsed equals 15 minutes).

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. Grasp stem in one hand. Using thumb of other hand, gently press down and pull toward you. Compartment will flip open.

MAKING COFFEE

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

1. Fill the Water Reservoir

Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the step water indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.

2. Add Beans

Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the basket with the desired quantity of beans.
