WARNING: RISK OF FIRE
OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. If water/coffee is not draining
from the filter basket during the brewing cycle,
unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before
opening and checking the filter basket.
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.

Element 3: Grind
THE QUEST FOR THE
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 desired
flavors will not be extracted. The Cuisinart® Fully
Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Coffeemaker is
preset for a medium grind, the optimal grind for
this type of coffeemaker.
PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE
It is generally agreed that there are four basic
elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee:
Element 1: Water
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the
quality of the water is as important as the
quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is
that if your water doesn’t taste good from the
tap, it won’t taste any better in your coffee.
That’s why Cuisinart has added a water filter
to the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™
Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter removes
chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest
cup of coffee every time.
Element 4: Proportion
The Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind &
Brew™ Coffeemaker makes up to twelve cups
(54oz.) of coffee.
Using Whole Beans
We recommend keeping the hopper at least
halfway full. Be sure that you have a sufficient
amount of beans in your hopper for the amount
of coffee you intend to brew.
Element 2: Coffee
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the
flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve the
same great quality cup of coffee you receive at
a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality
beans. Buy the beans fresh and whole, only
about two weeks’ supply at a time for maximum
freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its
flavor degrades very quickly. That’s why the
Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™
NOTE: The maximum capacity for whole beans
is ½ lb. — enough for over two 12-cup pots of
coffee.
Using Pre-Ground Coffee
Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole
beans, you can make coffee in the Cuisinart®
Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™
Coffeemaker using pre-ground beans. To do so,
turn off the grinder by pressing the Grind Off
button before turning on the unit.
Coffeemaker grinds your coffee just prior to
brewing. If it is not practical to buy small
supplies, we recommend you separate larger
amounts of beans into one to two week portions
immediately after purchase, and freeze them in
airtight containers. The best way to maximize
freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light
and moisture. So, once beans have been
removed from the freezer, maintain them
in a sealed container at room temperature, since
damaging condensation occurs every time the
beans are removed from the freezer or
Our recipe
We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount
to your taste.
refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts
advise against freezing dark-roast beans,
because freezing can cause the oils to
coagulate. Other experts disagree. We suggest
you experiment and decide for yourself.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper
or permanent filter. Exceeding this amount may
cause overflow.

MAKING COFFEE WITH
WHOLE BEANS
Before you make the first pot of coffee in your
new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind &
Brew™ Coffeemaker, we recommend operating
the coffeemaker once, using only water and a
paper filter. This will remove any dust or resi-
dues which will remain in the system from the
manufacturing process. Note: Allow the grinder
to grind free of beans for this process.
Note: When using our permanent filter, be sure
that the handle is positioned toward the front of
the unit. If you do not, the handle may interfere
with the flow of coffee into the filter basket.
Also note: Using our permanent gold-tone filter
will allow some fine coffee grounds to fall into
the carafe.
1. Fill the Water Reservoir
When using a paper filter, be sure that the filter
is completely open while touching the side walls
and bottom of the basket.
Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired
amount of water in the reservoir using the
water level window indicator. Close the res-
ervoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the
12-cup line. Doing so may cause the carafe
to overflow.
Put filter basket cover in place.
Close filter door.
The unit is equipped with a safety interlock
system. The unit will not operate if the filter bas-
ket cover or filter basket are not in place or if the
filter door is not closed. If you try to turn the unit
on while the filter compartment is out of place,
the unit will beep continuously until the missing
part(s) are installed.
2. Add Beans
Lift the hopper lid, using the recess on
either side. Fill the hopper with beans. We
recommend keeping the hopper at least
halfway full. Be sure that you have a suffi-
cient amount of beans in your hopper for
the amount of coffee you intend to brew
(maximum capacity is ½ lb. Do not over-
pack the hopper. Over-packing the hopper
may result in jamming the grinder.)
5. Brewing
A. Immediate Grinding and Brewing
1. Turn the Grind Control Knob to select the
number of cups you want to brew. The
coffeemaker will grind the corresponding
amount of beans. The unit will automatical-
ly adjust for low cup settings.
For easy filling, the hopper container can be
taken out by turning the hopper container
release knob to the unlock position.
Note: Do not put any water in the unit once the
hopper container has been removed. If water
gets into the grinder motor, the motor may
become damaged and may malfunction.
2. Press the Strength Control button to set
coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG
will show on the LCD display.
3. Press the On button. The indicator will light
and the process will begin.
Put hopper lid back in place.
3. Lock Hopper
B. Programmed Brewing
If you have removed the hopper from the
unit, be sure that the hopper container
release knob is in the unlocked position and
place the hopper container back in the unit.
Press the Program button. The indicator
will light and the display will show the
programmed time for as long as the button
is depressed. The display reverts back to
time of day once the button is released.

6. During and After Brewing
2. Press the On button. The indicator will
light and the process will begin.
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to
remove the carafe from the heating plate
during mid-brew. The brewing process
does not stop during this period; only the
flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do
not remove the carafe for longer than 20
seconds or the coffee may overflow the
basket. While we offer this feature, 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 flavor profile which is very different
from the coffee made at the end of the
cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing
cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.
B. Programmed Brewing
Press the Program button. The indicator
will light and the display will show the
programmed time for as long as the but-
ton is depressed. The display reverts
back to time of day once the button is
released. (To set the programmed time,
see Programming Your Coffeemaker on
page 8.)
1. Press the Grind Off button. When this
function is activated, an amber LED will
be illuminated.
2. The coffeemaker will begin brewing at the
programmed time.
When the brewing cycle is completed, five
beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to
stream from the filter for several seconds.

MAINTENANCE
MAKING COFFEE WITH
PRE-GROUND BEANS
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS
AFTER EVERY USE.
Before you make the first pot of coffee in your
new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind &
Brew™ Coffeemaker, we recommend operating
the coffeemaker once, using only water and a

DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium
deposits which form over time on the metal
parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your 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.

repair the product, refer the consumer to an
independent repair facility, replace the product, or
refund the purchase price less the amount directly
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the
product. If the above two options do not result in
the appropriate relief to the consumer, the
consumer may then take the product to an
independent repair facility if service or repair can
be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not
the consumer will be responsible for the
reasonable cost of such service, repair,
replacement, or refund for nonconforming products
under warranty.

preference, return nonconforming products directly
to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary, replacement,
by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at
1-800-726-0190.
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return,
please enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of
the product.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the
repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for
such products under warranty.
