MAKING COFFEE

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Grind & BrewThermal™ Automatic coffeemaker, we recommend oper- ating 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.

(Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use 1-1/2 level scoops per cup. Maximum capacity is 14 level scoops.

Do not overfill or the grinder could malfunction and/or the coffeemaker may overflow. This is our suggested recipe. Adjust the recipe to taste.)

3. Open Filter Door

Place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s® commercial style permanent filter in

the basket.

Note: When using the Cuisinart filter, be sure that the filter handle is facing away from the grinder basket. If you do not do so, the handle may interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter basket.

Also note: a permanent filter may allow some ground coffee to flow into carafe.

The filter holder will help to keep the filter open, but when using a paper filter, be sure that the filter is completely open while touching the side walls and bottom of

the basket.

Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.

4. Close the Reservoir Lid

Press down to lock. The Grind & Brew Thermal™ Automatic coffeemaker is equipped with a Safety Interlock System. The Grind & Brew Thermal™ coffeemaker will not operate if the cover of the unit is open or the grinder cover is left out. If you try to turn the unit on with the cover open, the unit will beep continu- ously until the missing parts are installed and you close the lid. The unit will also beep if you open the lid during the brewing process.

The grinder will stop grinding or, if brewing, the brewing will stop. Once the missing parts are installed and the cover is closed, the beeping

This versatile machine combines a built-in grinder with a standard coffee maker, allowing users to brew flavorful coffee from whole beans with convenience and ease.

This feature is particularly beneficial for those who enjoy brewing coffee often, as it reduces the need for frequent refilling.

This coffee maker offers a 12-cup carafe capacity, making it ideal for households with multiple coffee drinkers or for entertaining guests. The stainless steel carafe retains heat while providing a sleek, modern look. An important characteristic is the machine's programmable settings, allowing users to set their brew time up to 24 hours in advance. This means you can wake up to the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee, ready and waiting.

With an easy-to-use control panel, the Cuisinart DGB-600BC includes an LCD display for clear programming and monitoring. Moreover, the machine features a grind-off option, which enables users to brew pre-ground coffee simply by bypassing the grinder if desired.

The DGB-600BC emphasizes user-friendliness with a removable grind chamber, which simplifies cleaning, and a built-in charcoal water filter that helps ensure that water quality is optimal for brewing, thus enhancing the overall taste of the coffee.

Moreover, this coffee maker is designed with a safety shut-off feature after brewing is completed, providing peace of mind for users who may be busy or distracted.
