1. INTRODUCTION

You have just purchased a Cuisinart® coffeemaker.

A combination of in-depth research into innovation and outstanding design have gone into creating an appliance of guaranteed high quality. Simple to use and to maintain.

The quality of the water is critical to achieve a great-tasting coffee. The charcoal water filter of your coffemaker ensures the purest flavour and avoids impurities. The leakproof lid keeps taste and temperature for a long time.

For even more convenient use, the brew pause allows you to pour a cup of coffee in mid-brew and the heater plate control knob keeps your coffee warm without burning it. The 1-4 cup setting allows you to brew smaller pots of coffee. You can also choose between paper filters or the convenient and cost-saving removable permanent filter provided.

Your coffeemaker is provided with advanced features such as: a digital clock with 24-hour advanced-brew setting, programmable auto-off, audible beep at the end of cycle and time-to-descale electronic indicator with flashing light, with descaling button.
