Charcoal Water Filter

Your brewer comes with a charcoal water
filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and
odors from tap water.
Inserting the Water Filter
1. Remove the filter and filter holder from
the polybag.
2. Soak the filter, fully immersed in cold tap
water, for 15 minutes.
3. Place the charcoal water filter in the
holder and snap the holder cover
closed. Be careful – improper placement
can tear the filter skin (see figure below).
4. Flush the filter and holder by running
fresh water through the hole in the
bottom of the compartment for 10
seconds.
5. Allow the filter to drain completely.
6. Place the assembled water filter holder
into the water reservoir, pushing it down
to fit into place.
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, or by calling Cuisinart Consumer
Service, or at www.cuisinart.com.
