Charcoal Water Filter; Before Brewing Your First Pot - Cuisinart DGB-400C Series Instruction Booklet

To Activate Auto On Using
the Set Programmed Time
To select the time you want coffee to start
brewing, press the Program button. The previously
set time or default time will appear and the blue
indicator will come on to remind you that the
programming function is in use. The brew cycle
will begin at the time you selected. The Brew/Off
blue indicator light will come on at the selected
start time.
To Deactivate Auto On
Press illuminated Brew/Off button; light will
go off, indicating mode is turned off.
SETTING THE AUTO-SHUTOFF TIME
Your coffeemaker can be programmed to
automatically shut off from 0 to 4 hours after
brewing is complete. The default shutoff time
is 2 hours.
To change the preset time, press and hold the
Auto Off button until the blue indicator light and
LCD display begin to flash. This signals that you
have entered the Set automatic shutoff mode.
Set the time you want the coffeemaker to shut
off by following the "Setting Hours and Minutes"
instructions.
When the coffeemaker shuts itself off, two tones
will sound.
NOTE: Automatic shutoff may be programmed
either before or during coffee brewing. If you
program the auto shutoff time after brewing is
completed, the unit will automatically account
for elapsed time. For example, if you set the
auto shutoff for 40 minutes, and 25 minutes have
already elapsed, the unit will shut off automatically
after 15 minutes (40 minutes minus the 25
elapsed equals 15 minutes).
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 odours 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.ca
