Add 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of ground 

coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according

CHARCOAL WATER FILTER

Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water 
filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and 
odors from tap water.

Inserting the Water Filter

• Remove the filter from the polybag and soak 

it, fully immersed, in cold tap water for  
15 minutes.

• Lift the water filter holder out of the water 

reservoir (see diagram, page 5).

• Press down on the filter compartment and  

pull toward you to open.

• Place filter into the holder and snap it closed. 

Be careful – improper placement can tear the 
filter skin.

• Flush filter by running cold tap water through 

holes in bottom of compartment for 10 
seconds. 

• Allow the filter to drain completely.

• Slide the water filter holder back into the 

channel in the water reservoir, pushing it  
down to the base of the unit.

NOTE: 

We recommend changing the water  

filter 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 Customer Service, or 
at www.cuisinart.com.
