MAKING COFFEE WITH WHOLE BEANS

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once, using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues which will remain in the system from the manufacturing process. Note: Allow the grinder to grind free of beans for this process.

1.Fill the Water Reservoir

Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the water level window indicator. Close the reservoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the

12-cup line. Doing so may cause the carafe to overflow.

2.Add Beans

Lift the hopper lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the hopper with beans. We recommend keeping the hopper at least halfway full. Be sure that you have a sufficient amount of beans in your hopper for the amount of coffee you intend to brew (maximum capacity is ½ lb. Do not over- pack the hopper. Over-packing may result in jamming the grinder.)

For easy filling, the hopper container can be taken out by turning the hopper container release knob to the unlock position.

Note: Do not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been removed. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction.

Put hopper lid back in place.

3.Lock Hopper

If you have removed the hopper from the unit, be sure that the hopper container release knob is in the unlocked position and place the hopper container back in the unit. Turn the knob to locked position.

This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The unit will not grind if the hopper container is not in place. If you try to turn
