Cuisinart DCC-750 Making Coffee, Brew Pause Feature, Before Brewing Your First Pot Of Coffee

BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir and power on the unit. (See steps #2, #5 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE instructions, below). DO NOT

ADD COFFEE!

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

MAKING COFFEE

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 filter on page 7.

2.Fill the water reservoir

Open the reservoir cover by lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using the side water level indicator window located at the side of the coffeemaker.

3.Set cup preference

Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups.

4.Add the ground coffee

Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and lifting straight up, and then place it on the countertop. Insert a #4 paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add one level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.

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

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

5.Before brewing coffee

Make sure the carafe is in position

on the heating plate and the top cover is on. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

6.Power unit

Press the on/off button, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, press the PROG button and the green indicator will light, and the delayed start time you’ve selected will appear in the LCD display.

7.After brewing is complete

Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds.

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.
