For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using.  
 
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. Do not modify the  
plug in any way.  
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.  
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.  
SPECIAL CORD SET  
INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
A short power-supply cord is provided to  
reduce the risks resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
extension cords may be used if care is  
exercised in their use.  
If an 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.

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.

IMPORTANT UNPACKING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. place the box on a large, sturdy, flat  
surface.  
2. Remove the instruction book and any  
other literature.  
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  
3. Turn the box so that the back side of  
the coffeemaker is down and slide the  
coffeemaker from the box.  
4. After the coffeemaker has been  
removed, place the box out of the way  
and lift off the two pulp inserts.

it from the resting plate, and remove

Save all packing materials in case you have  
to ship the machine in the future.  
Add 1 scoop of ground coffee  
(1 scoop = 1 tablespoon = ~6 grams)

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!

help to fold and flatten the seams of a  
paper filter beforehand. Add 1 scoop of  
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the  
amount according to taste.  
CHARCOAL WATER FILTER  
your coffeemaker comes with a  
charcoal water filter that eliminates  
chlorine, bad tastes and odors from  
tap water.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for  
ground coffee is 15 scoops (15 table-  
spoons) for this coffeemaker. Exceeding  
this amount may cause overflow if the  
coffee is too finely ground.  
Inserting the Water Filter  
• Remove the filter from polybag and  
soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap  
water for 15 minutes.  
Replace the filter basket in the filter bas-  
ket holder and press firmly on cover to  
be sure it closes securely.  
• Lift the water filter holder out of the  
water reservoir (see diagram, page 5).

make sure the thermal carafe is in  
position on the resting plate and the top  
cover is closed. plug the cord into an  
electrical outlet.

• Slide the water filter holder back into  
the channel in the water reservoir,  
pushing it down to the base of the  
unit.  
7. After brewing is complete  
Once the coffee has finished brewing,  
the unit will immediately shut off and alert  
you with five beeps. Coffee will continue  
to stream from the filter for several  
seconds.  
nOTe: We recommend  
changing the water filter

continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and  
then repeat the cleaning procedure with a  
fresh solution of vinegar and water.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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 extreme  
BrewCoffeemaker, 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.  
NOTE: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker,  
remember to remove the charcoal water filter  
from the water filter holder located in the water  
reservoir.  
If the Clean light begins to flash when the  
coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that
