H After Brewing; Cleaning & Maintenance - Cuisinart DGB625BCU Manual

H After Brewing

n When the brewing cycle has completed, 5 beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to
stream from the filter for several seconds afterwards.
n When the coffee is ready, stir before serving, to blend the flavours. The coffee at the
bottom of the carafe will be stronger than that at the top.
CAUTION! The bottom of the carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing.
n The brew-through, pour-through lid allows coffee to drip from the appliance through
the closed lid. No need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring.
n After brewing, the warming plate will automatically shut off after 35 minutes unless
the Auto Shut-off feature has been programmed to reduce this time (see page 10).
n The 'Automatic Brew Pause' feature allows you to remove the carafe during mid-brew.
The brewing process does not stop during this period, only the flow of coffee from the
basket to the carafe stops.
N.B. Whilst we offer this feature for your convenience, we do not recommend that you
pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the
beginning of the cycle has a very different flavour profile to that made at the end of the
cycle. Removing a cup during the cycle will alter the flavour of the finished pot.
WARNING! Do not remove the carafe for longer than 20 seconds or the coffee may
overflow the basket.
Cleaning & Maintenance
n Completely clean and dry all parts after every use.
n Always turn coffee maker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
n Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleaning agents on any part of the appliance.
n Never immerse the main housing unit in water or other liquid. To clean the base, simply
wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry before storing.
n Wipe warming plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or
harsh cleaning agents to clean the warming plate.
n Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as lint may remain.
