SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in 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 reservoir cover during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the filter basket, since extremely hot water/coffee can spill out from the basket and cause injury. If water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket during the brewing cycle, unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before opening the reservoir cover and checking the basket.

IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface.
2. Remove the instruction book and any other literature.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Cuisinart® Classic Thermal 10-Cup

Programmable Coffeemaker! Please take a few moments to discover the features of your new coffeemaker, including the double-wall thermal carafe, and the programmable brew functions. Classic Cuisinart style means you'll enjoy every cup for years to come.

THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

ELEMENT 1: WATER

Coffee is 98% water. 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.

ELEMENT 2: COFFEE

While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. 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.

ELEMENT 3: GRIND

The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, over-extraction 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 flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your own beans, we recommend a medium-fine grind.

ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION

Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of ground coffee in the instructions under Brewing Coffee, and later adjust the amount to suit your taste.

BREWING COFFEE

Follow instructions in Before First Use on previous page.

1. Insert charcoal water filter

Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the filter on page 7.

1. Fill the water reservoir

Open the Coffeemaker 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.

1. Cup preference

Push the 1–4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups.

1. Add the ground coffee

Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4 paper filter OR permanent filter. Be sure that a 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 15 tablespoons 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.

1. Before brewing coffee

Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heater plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

1. Power unit

Turn the Function knob to BREW, press the On/Off button, and the blue indicator light will turn on. Or, set the AUTO ON function (see page 7) and the Auto On indicator will light.

1. After brewing is complete

When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds.

NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening.

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 and permanent filter can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher.

Dry all parts after use.

Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the filter basket with a damp cloth.

Remove the carafe from the resting plate.

Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.

The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only.

Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.

Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.

Fingerprints and other blemishes on the stainless steel housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

MAINTENANCE

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

To Decalcify Your Coffeemaker

For best performance from your Coffeemaker, decalcify the 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 unit should be cleaned. 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 flavor of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 13 white vinegar and 23 water. Press the Clean button. When the Clean light glows, turn the Coffeemaker on by pressing the On/Off button. The Clean light will shine steadily. The Coffeemaker is now in CLEAN mode. 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.
