Descaling and the ‘Clean’ function

ßAlways use the charcoal water filters provided and replace on a regular basis (i.e. every 90 days or 90 uses)

ßIt is strongly recommended that you descale the appliance from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water an how often you use the appliance. The flashing ‘Clean’ light will indicate when you should clean your coffeemaker.

If the ‘Clean’ light begins to flash when the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium build-up is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavour of your coffee.

To descale

ßFill the water reservoir completely with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and switch the appliance on. Press the ‘Clean’ button. When the self clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the on/off button. The clean light will shine steadily. The coffeemaker is now in clean mode. One cycle should be sufficient to descale the appliance.

ßOnce the cycle has been completed and 5 beeps sound, switch the appliance off. Turn the appliance back on to see if the ‘Clean’ light continues to flash. If it does, turn it to ‘Off’ and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. If the clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffee- maker to ‘Off’ and then run one cycle of fresh cold water throught the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee.

Notes on the Cleaning Function

Pressing the ‘Clean’ button cancels all other settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it again to return the coffeemaker to all its previous settings. Pressing ‘On/Off’ will also exit the ‘Clean’ mode and turn the coffeemaker off.

DCC2400U specifications

The Cuisinart DCC2400U is a premium coffee maker designed for coffee enthusiasts who demand both quality and convenience in their brewing experience. This stylish and efficient machine embodies modern coffee technology, making it the perfect addition to any kitchen countertop.

At the heart of the DCC2400U is its versatile 12-cup programmable coffee maker capability. It allows users to brew up to 12 cups of coffee, making it ideal for families or gatherings. The programmable function enables users to set a brewing time up to 24 hours in advance, ensuring that a fresh pot is ready when needed.

One of the standout features of this model is its stainless steel housing, which not only provides aesthetic appeal but also enhances durability. The double-wall design of the carafe further aids in maintaining the coffee's temperature, keeping it hot for longer periods without requiring a warming plate, which can often lead to burnt coffee.

The DCC2400U also features a unique brew-pause feature, allowing users to pour a cup mid-brew without making a mess. This convenient option is ideal for those who cannot wait for the entire brewing cycle to finish. Additionally, the machine is equipped with a 30-minute automatic shut-off, promoting safety and peace of mind.

For optimal flavor extraction, the DCC2400U uses a drip brewing mechanism, ensuring that every coffee ground is saturated evenly. The gold-tone filter provides a reusable option that eliminates the need for paper filters while allowing essential oils to seep into the brew. This enhances the coffee’s flavor profile, making every cup rich and aromatic.

Cleaning is also a breeze with the DCC2400U. Its removable parts are dishwasher-safe, and the easy-to-fill water reservoir simplifies the brewing process. Furthermore, the machine comes with a built-in water filter, which improves the quality of the water used and consequently the taste of the coffee.
