Cuisinart DCC-2600 Series manual Cleaning Maintenance, Brew Pause Feature

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 17 tablespoons for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

Replace the filter basket in the filter bas- ket holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely.

5.Before brewing coffee

Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heating plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

6.Power unit

Turn the Function knob to brew, press the on/off button, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see page 7) and the green indi- cator will light.

7.After brewing

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

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.

Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening.

Brew Pause™ Feature

This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed towards the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot.

NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
