MAKING COFFEE

Before making the first pot of coffee in vour new CuisinartB Coffee BarT’” .Automatic Grind and Brew coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once using only water and a paper fil- tcr. This will remove any dust or residues in the system which remain from the manut&uring process.

1. Fill the Water Reservoir:

I&love the carafe from the hot plate. Open the carafe cover and fill with cold water to just over the amount of coffee you arc making. Close the carafe cover. Press the reservoir lid to open. Pour the water from the carafe into it. The numbers on the water reservoir indicate a slightly higher amomit of water per cup than the carafe markings. This is to compensate for the amount of water lost in wetting the grounds and lost as steam during the brewing process. The float on the water window indicates the amount of water necessary to brew the corre- sponding amount of coffee.

Replace the carafe on the hot plate.

2. Set the Flavor System:

‘I’he Flavor System has been designed to extract the proper coffee flavor compounds when the dial is positioned according to the number of cups being bre\ved.

NOTE: If you use less than the recommended coffee measure, or you use a grind that is finer than the recommended grind, set the Flavor System to a higher cup setting. This takes more water away from the grounds to prevent over- extraction. Conversely, if you use more coffee or a coarser grind, set it to a lower setting.

To deactivate the Flaror System, turn the selector knob counterclochise to the “OFF” setting. Close the lid of the reservoir.

3. Add Beans/Filter:

Lift the Grinder Basket Lid using the recess on either side. Pill the basket with the desired quantity of beans. Lift the Filter Basket Cover/Filter Holder. (See Parts list for best location to grasp). Place a #4

cone filter or a permanent filter in the basket.

Note: When using a permanent 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 aill help to keep the filter open, but when using a paper filter, bc sure that the filter is completely open and fully inserted into the bas- ket.

To make a full pot of coffee (10 cups), fill the grinder basket to the top of the hasket.

To make fewer than 10 cups of coffee, use about 1 measuring scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 or 2 cups, use l-1/2 measuring scoops per cup. Note:

One measuring scoop is approximately equal to

one tablespoon. This is our suggested recipe. Adjust the recipe to taste. Do not fill above the top of the grinder basket.

4. Close the Reservoir Lid:

Press down to Lock. To prevent coffee grounds from esca inq the grinding chamber make sure reservoir Ed Fs locked.

The Automatic Grind and Brew is equipped with a Safety Interlock System. The Grind and Brew will not operate if the cover of the unit is open more than l/2 inch or the grinder cover and/ or the filter cover are left out. If you try to turn the unit on, it will beep continuously until the missing parts are installed and the cover is closed. The unit will also beep if you open the cover during the brewing process. If grinding, the grinder will stop. If brewing, the brewing will stop: Once the missing parts are installed and the cover is closed, the beeping will stop. The brewing process can be restarted by press- ing the “On” button. Restarting the process will not affect coffee results. If you do not want the grinder to come on again, press the “Grind Off’ button before pressing the “On” button.

5. Before Brewing Coffee

,\#lake sure JJOLI have replaced the glass carafe into its position on the warming plate and placed a filter in the Grinder/Filter basket. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. The clock will flash “12:OO” con-
