g. Replace the water filter holder in the reser- voir area of the coffeemaker, pushing it all the way down to the base of the unit, along the reservoir wall.

Note: We recommend changing the water filter every 60 days or 60 uses or more often if you have hard water.

Replacement water filters can be purchased in stores or by calling customer service or through the Cuisinart web site.

FUNCTION

MAKING COFFEE

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Grind & Brew Thermal™ Automatic coffeemaker, we recommend oper- ating the coffeemaker once, using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues which remain in the system from the manufacturing process.

1. Fill the Water Reservoir

Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the step water indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.

2. Add Beans

Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the basket with the desired quantity of beans.

(Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use 1-1/2 level scoops per cup. Maximum capacity is 14 level scoops.

Do not overfill or the grinder could malfunction and/or the coffeemaker may overflow. This is our suggested recipe. Adjust the recipe to taste.)

3. Open Filter Door

Place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s® commercial style permanent filter in

the basket.

Note: When using the Cuisinart 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 will help to keep the filter open, but when using a paper filter, be sure that the filter is completely open while touching the side walls and bottom of

the basket.

Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.

4. Close the Reservoir Lid

Press down to lock. The Grind & Brew Thermal™ Automatic coffeemaker is equipped with a Safety Interlock System. The Grind & Brew Thermal™ coffeemaker will not operate if the cover of the unit is open or the grinder cover is left out. If you try to turn the unit on with the cover open, the unit will beep continu- ously until the missing parts are installed and you close the lid. The unit will also beep if you open the lid during the brewing process.

The grinder will stop grinding or, if brewing, the brewing will stop. Once the missing parts are installed and the cover is closed, the beeping
