OTHER GOLD TONE PERMANENT FILTERS MAY CAUSE THE COFFEEMAKER TO OVERFLOW. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY WARNING: RISK Of FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. OPERATING NOTICE Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the filter basket can occur under any or a combination of any of the following conditions: The use of too finely ground coffee, using two or more paper filters, using the gold tone filter in conjunction with a paper filter or not properly cleaning coffee grounds from the gold tone filter, or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the filter. Caution: Never open the filter basket during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the filter basket, since extremely hot water/coffee can spill out from the filter basket and cause injury.

The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew.

To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose to grind your own beans, buy them fresh and whole. Buy only about a two-week supply at a time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly.

Remove the instruction book and any other literature. 3. Turn the box so that the back side of the coffeemaker is down and slide the coffeemaker from the box. 5. Grasp the carafe by its handle, remove it from the heating plate, and remove the polybag. 6. Remove the polybag covering the coffeemaker. Element 4: Proportion Save all packing materials in case you have to ship the machine in the future. KEEP ALL PLASTIC BAGS AWAY FROM CHILDREN. 1. Reservoir Cover Flips back for easy filling. 2. Water Reservoir with Water Level Indicator Window 3. Showerhead Distributes water evenly over coffee, reducing temperature loss as water passes through grounds. 4. Charcoal Water Filter Charcoal water filter eliminates chlorine, calcium and bad tastes and odors from tap water. 5. Filter Basket Holds a #4 paper filter or a permanent filter. 6. Filter Basket Holder 7. Control Panel See detailed illustration, page 6. 8. Brew Pause Stops flow of coffee from basket when carafe is removed from the heater plate, so a cup can be poured in mid-brew. Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of ground coffee in the instructions under MAKING COFFEE below, and later adjust the amount to suit your taste. 9. Carafe The easy-pour, no-drip 14-cup carafe has an ergonomic handle and brewed coffee markings for two to fourteen cups. 10. Adjustable Heater Plate Allows you to keep brewed coffee at desired temperature. Scratch-resistant with black, nonstick coating. 11. Ready Tone Signals the end of the brew cycle with five beeps. 12. Cord Storage 13. Power Loss Back-up System One-minute protection in case a breaker trips, the unit is unplugged, or the power fails. It holds all programmed information, including time of day, auto on time and auto off time. 14. Measuring Scoop 1 Element 3: Grind The grind is critical for proper flavour extraction. If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavour will not be extracted. When grinding your own beans, we recommend a medium-fine grind. 4. After the coffeemaker has been removed, place the box out of the way and lift off the left and right polyfoam insert.

BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir and power on the unit. (See steps #2 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE instructions, below). DO NOT ADD COFFEE! Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best! MAKING COFFEE Follow instructions in “Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee” above. 1. Insert charcoal water filter Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the filter on page 8. 2. Fill the water reservoir Open the reservoir cover by lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using the water level indicator located at the side of the coffeemaker window. 3. Set preferences a. Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups. b. Press Regular or Bold button to select flavour strength.* c. Turn the Carafe Temperature dial to low(L), medium(M), or high(H) and heater plate will keep coffee at the temperature you select.* *Features will remain at selected settings until you change them. 4. Add the ground coffee Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and lifting straight up, and then place it on the countertop. Insert a #4 paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 17 tablespoons (255 ml) for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely. 5. Before brewing coffee Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heating plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. 6. Power unit Turn the Function knob to brew, press the on/off button, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see page 7) and the green indicator will light. 7. After brewing When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top. Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening. Brew Pause™ Feature This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavour profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed towards the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavour strength of the finished pot. NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. 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 (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. ca. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher.

One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the coffeemaker on to see if the Clean light continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. If the Clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffeemaker off and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee. Notes on the Clean Function Pressing the Clean button cancels all other settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it again to return the coffeemaker to all its previous settings. Pressing On/Off will also exit the clean mode and turn the coffeemaker off. Decalcification Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker. For best performance from your Brew Central® Coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker. The flashing Clean light will indicate when you should clean your coffeemaker. If the Clean light begins to flash when the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium buildup is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker and the WARRANTY Limited Three-Year Warranty This warranty supersedes all previous warranties on this Cuisinart® product.
