BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply follow “Making Coffee with Pre- Ground Beans,” page 9. Skip step #1 and be sure to use only water and a paper filter…no coffee!

Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!

MAKING COFFEE WITH WHOLE BEANS

Follow instructions in “Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee” above.

1.Insert Charcoal Water Filter

Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the charcoal water filter on page 9.

2.Fill the Water Reservoir

Open the reservoir cover and pour in water, using the water level window indicator to measure the number of cups desired. NOTE: Do not exceed the 10-cup line. Doing so could cause carafe to overflow.

3.Add Beans

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

NOTE: Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use 1½ level scoops per cup. Do not add over 14 scoops. This could cause the grinder to malfunction and/or the coffeemaker to overflow.
