1. INTRODUCTION

You have just purchased a Cuisinart® coffeemaker. A combination of in-depth research into innovation and outstanding design have gone into creating an appliance of guaranteed high quality. Simple to use and to maintain. The quality of the water is critical to achieve a great-tasting coffee. The charcoal water filter of your coffemaker ensures the purest flavour and avoids impurities. The leakproof lid keeps taste and temperature for a long time. For even more convenient use, the brew pause allows you to pour a cup of coffee in mid-brew and the heater plate control knob keeps your coffee warm without burning it. The 1-4 cup setting allows you to brew smaller pots of coffee. You can also choose between paper filters or the convenient and cost-saving removable permanent filter provided. Your coffeemaker is provided with advanced features such as: a digital clock with 24-hour advanced-brew setting, programmable auto-off, audible beep at the end of cycle and time-to-descale electronic indicator with flashing light, with descaling button.

3. USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Before the first use or after an extended period of non-use, fill the reservoir with cold water up to its maximum level (without coffee nor filter). Put the coffee pot into position, switch on + O/I switch) and let the water flow.

1. Insert the water filter

a. Remove the filter from polybag and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.

b. The water filter holder is located inside the water reservoir, on the left. Open the lid of the coffeemaker and remove the water filter holder by lifting it out. To open the water filter holder, place thumbs in slots directly under the arrows and pull open in opposite directions.

c. Place the filter at the bottom of the water filter holder as indicated on the diagram (Filter will only fit correctly in one end of the holder, that is the right side of the holder when positioned as on the diagram). d. Close the water filter holder.

Filter e. Re-place the water filter holder in the water reservoir pushing it all the way down to the base of the unit (The side of the holder where the filter is located should be downwards). It is advised to replace the filter every 60th use approximately.

2. Fill the water reservoir

Fill the reservoir with cold water depending on the desired number of cups (see height markings inside the reservoir). Note: the coffee pot height markings represent the number of cups obtained. The difference between this scale and the water reservoir marks results from the amount of water lost in wetting the grounds.

3. Add the ground coffee

Open the lid. Insert a #4 paper filter or the permanent filter (never both of them at the same time) in the filter holder. Add the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter. Use one measuring scoop per cup. This average dose can be adjusted to suit your taste.

4. Flip the lid close. Push firmly on top.

5. Make sure the coffee pot is in its position on the heating plate

before switching the coffeemaker on.

6. Turn the coffeemaker on.

1. Clock: displays the time of the day and the “AUTO 1” and

“AUTO 0” functions times.

DCC1200WE-DCC1200E IB

30/11/04 9:49 Page 14 b. Turn off

5. Automatic descaling

• Depress the O/I switch (0) and release. The central red indicator light goes off and the appliance stops.

2. To set the time

• Turn the function knob on position.

• Press and hold the HRES and MIN buttons to increase the numbers and scroll them at increasing speed. When you get close to the desired number, pulse the push button to increase one digit at a time. When the numbers stop blinking, time is set. Note: when the number count passes 12, “PM” will be displayed on the LCD to set the time from noon to midnight. When there is no indication, you will set AM times from 0 to noon. Always make sure that the time is set according to the correct period so that the automatic on and off functions operate correctly.

3. AUTO 1, auto-on feature

• Turn the function knob to PROG. The numbers blink.
• Press HRES and MIN to set the desired time to engage the auto-on. The numbers will blink 5 times, then stop.
• Turn the function knob to AUTO 1. The current time is now displayed.
• Lift and release the O/I switch. The green indicator light comes on to signal that the programming function is in use.
• At the programmed time, the central red indicator light will come on with the green light, indicating that the brewing cycle is starting.
• To turn off, depress the O/I switch down and release. The green indicator light (and the red if the brewing cycle has started) goes off.

4. AUTO 0, auto-off feature

Use after use, scaling builds up. Scaling interfers with fine mechanics and gives coffee a hard and bitter taste. That is why the appliance should be regularly descaled to ensure good quality coffee. The descaling frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffemaker.

• When the coffeemaker needs descaling, the descaling indicator light next to the CALC. button begins to flash when the coffee is turned on (see Heading 6. CLEANING AND STORAGE).
• Press the CALC. button and switch on the appliance by flipping the O/I switch up. The descaling indicator light stays on. The coffeemaker is now in “automatic descaling” mode.
• When the cycle is completed, the 5 beeps sound and the coffemaker will shut off.
• A single descaling cycle is generally enough. Switch the coffeemaker on (flip O/I switch up) to see if the descaling light continues to flash. If not, the coffeemaker is descaled. If the indicator light continues to flash, repeat the descaling operation.
• When the appliance is descaled, rinse by running a complete cycle with fresh water: fill the reservoir up to its maximum level with cold fresh water (without coffee nor filter). Switch the coffeemaker on ( + O/I switch) and let water flow. Note: pressing the descaling button cancels all other settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it again to cancel descaling and return the coffeemaker to all its previous settings.

6. 1-4 cup setting

• Turn the function knob to AUTO 0. The numbers blink. Allows to prepare small amounts of coffee (1 to 4 cups) while ensuring optimal temperature.

• Press HRES and MIN to set the time after which you want the coffeemaker to shut off (from 0 to 4 hours). The numbers blink 5 times then stop. This function can be combined with all the other settings. Simply press the 1-4 button after having set functions and turned the unit on with 0/1 switch.
