Cuisinart DTC-975 manual Making Coffee, Brew Pause, Precautions, Basket hinge

NOTE: The unit will continue to attempt to brew at the programmed time, each day, until the Off button is pressed. The red “ON” indica- tor light will illuminate each time the attempt to brew is made.

If there is no water in the reservoir, the unit will automatically shut off one minute later.

MAKING COFFEE

1.Place coffeemaker on a solid flat surface. Plug into 120V outlet.

2.Open thermal carafe lid in direction of “OPEN” arrow. Fill thermal carafe with cold, fresh water. Open hinged water reservoir cover; pour water into reservoir opening. Markings on water level indica- tor show amount of water needed to make desired number of cups of coffee. TO AVOID OVERFLOW, DO NOT FILL ABOVE 12 CUP MARK. Close reservoir cover.

3.Before thermal carafe is returned to platform, prewarm carafe by running warm water through it. Prewarming carafe will help keep coffee warmer.

4.Return carafe lid to thermal carafe. To close lid, turn it in direction of “CLOSE” arrow until it fits tightly on carafe, and “POUR” arrow is aligned with spout. Return empty thermal carafe to platform.

Be certain thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position and is securely in place during brew cycle.

5.Open filter basket by grasping basket handle and swinging outward. Insert a filter into filter basket; make sure filter fits snugly in basket. Use a fresh filter for each carafe of coffee.

6.After placing 2 level tablespoons per cup of ground coffee into cone filter, return basket to closed position. To ensure safe operation, make sure basket is closed securely.

7.With thermal carafe and basket securely in place, press “ON” button; LED will light. CAUTION: Coffeemaker becomes very hot during brew cycle; handle with extreme care, as hot parts and escaping steam may cause burns.

8.The Brew-Through lid allows coffee to drip from coffeemaker through closed lid. When coffee has completely stopped dripping into thermal carafe and water level indicator is empty, brew cycle is complete. When dripping stops, Brew-Through lid will seal so coffee freshness and temperature are preserved.

9.An audible “beep” tone will signal when brew cycle is complete. The coffeemaker will switch off automatically.

Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing. Use caution.

10.After coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open filter basket and discard used coffee filter and grounds. To remove filter basket from coffeemaker (A) grasp basket handle and swing basket outward, and (B) with basket in far right position, lift up and pull

basket hinge.

11.Brew-Through lid allows coffee to be poured with lid in “CLOSED” position, so coffee freshness and temperature can be preserved.

NEVER POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS IN “CLOSED” POSITION.

BREW PAUSE™

This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before the brew cycle has finished. Carefully remove thermal carafe, and the Brew Pause™ feature will automatically activate, temporarily stopping flow of coffee into thermal carafe. Return thermal carafe to platform immediately after pouring coffee, and the brewing process will resume.

IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its position within 30 seconds to prevent filter basket from overflowing.

NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may vary in strength from finished brew.

CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be closed securely since basket in improper position may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.

PRECAUTIONS

1.Do not place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow beneath coffeemaker.

2.To avoid accidents, make sure thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position during brewing and while pouring; do not pour in the direction of people.

3.When pouring, use thermal carafe handle only. Bottom of Thermal

Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing.

4.CAUTION: Burns may result from spilled hot liquid and/or contact with hot parts.
