BREWING COFFEE
Follow instructions in Before First Use on
previous page.
1. Insert charcoal water filters
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filters at left.
2. Fill the coffeemaker water reservoir
Open the water reservoir cover by lifting it up.
Pour in the desired amount of water using
the water level indicator located at the side
of the coffeemaker.
3. Add the ground coffee
Lift the coffeemaker lid to access the filter
basket. Remove the filter basket by grasping
the handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4
paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure that a
paper filter is completely open and fully
inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and
flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand.
Add 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup.
Adjust the amount according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 15 tablespoons for this
coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount
may cause overflow if the coffee is too
finely ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it
closes securely.
CHARCOAL WATER FILTERS
Your coffeemaker comes with two charcoal
water filters (one for the coffeemaker
and one for the Hot Water System) that
eliminate chlorine, bad tastes and odors
from tap water.
Inserting the Water Filters
• Remove the filters from the polybags and
soak them, fully immersed, in cold tap water
for 15 minutes.
• Lift the water filter holders out of the water
reservoirs from the Coffeemaker side and Hot
Water System side (see diagram, page 5).
• Press down on each filter compartment
and pull toward you to open.
• Place filters into the holders and snap
closed. Be careful – improper placement can
tear the filter skin.
• Flush filters by running cold tap water
through holes in bottom of compartments
for 10 seconds.
• Allow the filters to drain completely.
• Slide each water filter holder back into the
channel of the appropriate water reservoir,
pushing each down to the base of the unit.
NOTE: We recommend changing the
water filters every 60 days or after
60 uses, and more often if
you have hard water.
Replacement filters can
be purchased in stores,
by calling Cuisinart
Consumer Service, or at
www.cuisinart.com.
