PROGRAMMING YOUR

time. Hold buttons down to scroll through the digits, or
press and release to advance one digit at a time. When
scrolling, the numbers will advance slowly and then
speed up, so as number displayed approaches the
desired time, press and release to advance one digit at
a time. Be sure the PM indicator is on if a PM time is
desired.
SETTING THE AUTO ON TIME

previously selected Auto On time or the default time
(12:00pm).

A green light indicates that the coffeemaker is in
Auto On mode. The blue ON/OFF light will come on

The default Auto Off time is set to turn the coffeemaker

MAKING COFFEE
1. Insert charcoal water filter
Follow directions on page 6 for the preparation and
insertion of the filter.
2. Fill the water reservoir
a. Remove lid from reservoir, then lift reservoir
straight up and away from the coffeemaker.
b. Fill reservoir with water for the number of cups
you are brewing, replace the lid and return to unit.
(see figure 1). NOTE: If only brewing 2 cups fill with
water to the first line marking on the side of the
water reservoir.
NOTE:
If water gets under the coffee tank or water
reservoir, it will end up in the drip tray.
3. Set preferences
Push the 1–4 Cup button if you are brewing fewer
than 5 cups
.
4. Add the ground coffee
Insert a #4 paper filter
OR
permanent filter into the
filter basket. Be sure that the paper filter is completely
open and fully inserted in the basket. Add 1 scoop (1
tablespoon = ~6 grams) of ground coffee per cup.
Adjust the amount according to taste.
BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped
in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the
system before brewing your first cups of coffee. Simply
fill the water reservoir and power on the unit. (See steps
#2 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE instructions, below).
DO NOT ADD COFFEE!
Once you’ve done that, brew your favorite coffee and
get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!
