BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
We recommend flushing out the system before
brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply follow
"Making Coffee with Pre-Ground Beans," page 9.
Skip step #2 and be sure to use only water and a
paper filter...no coffee!
Once you've done that, brew a pot of real coffee
and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!
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 polybag and
soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap water
for 15 minutes.
• Lift the water filter holder out of the
water reservoir.
• 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
Consumer Service, or
at www.cuisinart.com
MAKING COFFEE WITH
WHOLE BEANS
Follow instructions in BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE (at left).
1. Insert Charcoal Water Filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the charcoal water filter on at left.
2. Fill the Water Reservoir
Open the reservoir cover and pour in water,
using the water level window indicator to
measure the number of cups desired.
NOTE: Do not exceed the 10-cup line.
Doing so could cause carafe to overflow.
Helpful Hint: Using cold water in the carafe
can affect brewed coffee temperature.
"Preheat" your carafe by rinsing it out with
hot water before brewing.
