INSTRUCTION BOOKLET  
SS-700  
Single Serve Brewing System  
For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using.  
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an  
adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained  
so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with  
a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the  
adapter must be grounded by attaching its  
grounding lug under the screw of the outlet  
cover plate.  
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.  
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding  
prong.  
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. The extension cord should be  
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, 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.  
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must  
be determined that the outlet cover plate  
screw is properly grounded. If in doubt,  
consult a licensed electrician. Never use  
an adapter unless you are sure it is  
properly grounded.  
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in  
Canada.

Element 1:  
WATER  
The Quest  
Any hot beverage is made up primarily of water.  
Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as  
important as the quality of the coffee, tea or cocoa.  
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 beverage. That’s why the Cuisinart® Single  
Serve Brewing System has added a charcoal water  
filter that removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors,  
for the purest cup every time.  
for the Perfect  
Cup of Coffee  
Element 2:  
COFFEE  
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor  
should be from the coffee, tea or cocoa. To achieve  
the same great quality you receive at coffee bars,  
you need to use the same quality ingredients. By  
using the K-Cup®, brought to you by some of the  
most premium brands on the market, you can be  
assured that you’re getting the finest, freshest  
gourmet product with every cup you brew. If you  
choose to use your own coffee in the included  
My K-Cup®, make sure all your ingredients are  
at their freshest.  
Element 3:  
GRIND  
The grind of coffee and cocoa, or the refinement of  
your tea leaves, is critical for proper flavor extraction.  
With the pre-measured, pre-ground ingredients  
found in every K-Cup®, you can rest easy knowing  
that it’ll brew perfectly each and every time, locking  
in maximum flavor and freshness.  
Element 4:  
PROPORTION  
No matter which cup size you choose, the Cuisinart®  
Single Serve Brewing System, working in conjunction  
with K-Cup®, always produces the perfect cup every  
time. When grinding your own coffee and using it  
in the included My K-Cup®, remember to add the  
amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the  
number of ounces being brewed.

Stopping the Brew  
Process  
Purging the Brewer  
If your Brewer has not been used for more  
than one week, we suggest purging the  
water from the inner tank.  
If for any reason you need to stop brewing  
after the process has started, press the  
power switch on the rear right side of the  
Brewer to turn the Brewer off. The flow of  
coffee, tea or hot cocoa will stop, the heater  
will shut off, and the blue lights illuminating  
the control panel and reservoir will turn off.  
1. If there is water in the reservoir, discard  
the water, then rinse and refill with fresh  
water. Place the reservoir back on the  
Brewer and replace the lid. (If there is no  
water in the reservoir, simply fill.)  
Note: You may get less coffee, tea or hot  
cocoa in your cup during your next brew. In  
order for your next brew to be the volume  
you have selected, we recommend that you  
perform a rinse cycle after a terminated  
brew.  
2. Be sure the Brewer is turned on. Raise  
and lower the handle on the Brewer  
without inserting a K-Cup®.  
3. When the control panel displays READY,  
dispense 12 oz. of hot water by  
selecting the 12-oz. cup size and hot  
water.  
Adding Water  
4. Repeat this process two more times to  
completely replace the water in the  
inner tank.  
The Control Panel will indicate when the  
water level in your reservoir is low or if the  
Reservoir has been removed by displaying  
the words “ADD WATER”. The blue light in  
the Reservoir will also blink when water  
needs to be added. When “ADD WATER” is  
displayed, the Brewer will not allow you to  
brew.  
The Water Reservoir can be filled in  
two ways:  
1. Lift off the Reservoir Lid and pour water  
directly into the Reservoir while it is still  
attached to the Brewer, then replace  
the Lid.  
2. Remove the Reservoir from Brewer by  
first removing the Lid from the Reservoir  
then lifting the Reservoir straight up and  
away from Brewer. Fill with water, place  
the Reservoir back on the Brewer, and  
replace the Lid.  
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the Water  
Reservoir during the brewing process.

Cleaning External Parts  
We recommend regular cleaning of the  
Brewer’s external components.  
Programming Your Brew Size  
1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or  
other liquids. The housing and other  
external components may be cleaned  
with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.  
The Brewer’s default brew size preset  
is 8 oz. The default brew size lets you  
choose the brew size most often used.  
To change the default brew size to your  
desired brew size:  
2. To remove the drip tray, simply slide it  
toward you, keeping it level at all times  
in order to prevent spills. The drip tray  
and drip tray plate are dishwasher safe.  
1. Press the Menu button until BREW  
SIZE flashes (see figure 25).  
2. Use or buttons to select your  
default brew size.  
Cleaning the My K-Cup®  
Reusable Coffee Filter  
1. Open the storage compartment located  
on the right side of the Brewer by  
pressing the finger indent. Remove the  
My K-Cup®.  
2. Disassemble the My K-Cup® by turning  
the lid from the holder in a counter-  
clockwise direction. Remove the filter  
basket from the holder (see figure 26).  
3. Once the desired default brew  
size is selected, press the Menu  
button to set your default brew size  
and exit the programming mode.  
The control panel will display your  
selected default brew size.  
Note: You can always select another  
size prior to brewing.

and holder in warm soapy water making  
sure to rinse and dry thoroughly. All My  
K-Cup® parts are dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the K-Cup® Holder  
1. The K-Cup® holder is top-shelf  
dishwasher safe (use low temperature  
cycles in the dishwasher). To remove, lift  
the handle to open the brewing  
chamber. Grasp the top of the K-Cup®  
holder and pull towards you. After  
cleaning, replace the K-Cup® holder,  
being sure to align the arrow on the  
K-Cup® holder rim with the arrow on the  
brewing chamber.  
2. Cleaning the Funnel – The Funnel can be  
removed from the K-Cup Holder by  
pulling on it until it pops off (see figure  
27). The Funnel is top-rack dishwasher  
safe. To replace it, just snap it back onto  
the K-Cup Holder Assembly.  
figure 28  
Cleaning the Water Reservoir  
& Lid  
Neither the reservoir lid nor the reservoir  
should be put into the dishwasher. Clean  
them with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive  
cloth and rinse thoroughly. Do not dry the  
inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as  
lint may remain.  
Caution: Rinse the water reservoir  
thoroughly after cleaning to ensure  
that no cleaners or cleaning  
solutions remain in this area, as they  
may contaminate the Brewer’s  
water supply.  
figure 27  
3. Cleaning the Exit Needle – The Exit  
Needle is located on the inside bottom  
of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a  
clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be  
cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool.  
Remove K-Cup Holder (as shown in  
figure 27). Insert the paper clip (see figure  
28) to loosen the clog and push it out.  
CAUTION: There are sharp needles  
that puncture the K-Cup above and  
below. To avoid risk of injury, do not put  
your fingers in the K-Cup Assembly  
Housing.

Follow these steps to de-scale your  
unit:  
De-Scaling your Brewer  
Mineral content in water varies from place to  
place. Depending on the mineral content of  
the water in your area, calcium deposits or  
scale may build up in your Brewer. Though  
scale is non-toxic, it can hinder Brewer  
performance. De-scaling your Brewer will  
help maintain the heating element and other  
Brewer parts that come in contact with  
water.  
1. Empty the reservoir.  
2. Disable the AUTO OFF and OFF TIME  
features.  
3. Making sure there is no K-Cup in the  
brewing chamber, fill the reservoir with  
60 oz. of undiluted white vinegar.  
4. Place a large mug on the drip tray and  
run a Hot Water cycle. Select the 12 oz.  
brew size. Discard contents of mug.  
For optimal performance, de-scale your  
Brewer every 3 to 6 months. It is possible for  
calcium deposits to build up faster, making it  
necessary to de-scale more often.  
5. Repeat the hot water process until ADD  
WATER is displayed on the control panel  
and the reservoir lights will flash.  
This Brewer is equipped with sensors to  
detect when scale buildup is interfering with  
the performance of the Brewer. When this is  
detected, DE-SCALE will be displayed on the  
control panel (see figure 30), at which point  
you should promptly de-scale. However,  
even if DE-SCALE is not displayed, it is still  
advisable that you de-scale your Brewer  
regularly.  
6. Let the Brewer stand for at least four  
hours while still on.  
7. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly  
and fill with fresh water.  
8. Run another Hot Water cycle. Discard  
contents of large mug.  
9. Repeat hot water process until ADD  
WATER is displayed on the control panel  
and the reservoir lights will flash.  
10. You may need to perform additional  
Hot Water cycles if you detect any  
residual vinegar taste.  
Note: If DE-SCALE is still displayed on  
the control panel after completing the  
procedure, repeat the de-scaling  
procedure above.  
figure 30  
Note: Though the Brewer will continue to  
function even when DE-SCALE is displayed,  
not de-scaling at that point could damage  
the Brewer. If this occurs, DE-SCALE will  
begin to flash on the control panel to alert  
you to potential damage if you do not  
de-scale immediately.

Troubleshooting  
Problem:  
Solution:  
Brewer does not have  
power.  
Plug Brewer into an independent outlet.  
Make sure the Brewer is securely plugged in.  
Plug into a different outlet.

Brewer will not brew.  
Every once in a while an air bubble may get trapped in the water path. Lift off the  
reservoir, then put it back into place.  
Turn off and unplug the brewer for 30 seconds or more. When you plug the brewer  
back in, be sure to turn the power back on.  
Make sure the water reservoir is properly in place, and perform a Rinse cycle.  
After placing the K-Cup® in the K-Cup® Holder, make sure the handle is pushed  
down securely and the LCD control panel reads READY. The  
and  
buttons,  
Brew, Hot Water, and Rinse buttons will be illuminated. Then press any of the lit  
buttons.  
If the LCD control panel indicates ADD WATER, check to make sure the water  
reservoir is properly filled. If not, add water. If so, make sure the water reservoir is  
properly seated in its base.

reservoir, then put it back into place.  
Turn off and unplug the brewer for 30 seconds or more. When you plug the brewer  
back in, be sure to turn the power back on.  
The exit needle may be clogged (refer to “Cleaning & Maintenance” page 18).  
Clean the K-Cup® holder brewing chamber (refer to “Cleaning & Maintenance”  
page 18).  
Make sure the water reservoir is properly in place, and perform a Rinse cycle.  
De-scale the Brewer (refer to page 20).  
If you have repeated the de-scale procedure two times and it is still only brewing a  
partial cup, contact Customer Service at 1-800-726-0190.  
The time is not  
displayed on the LCD  
control panel.  
You must set the clock (refer to page 15) in order for the time to be displayed on  
the LCD.  
If power is interrupted to the Brewer, you will need to re-set the clock (refer to  
page 15).  
Brewer shuts off, or  
turns on, automatically.  
Make sure the Auto Off and the On/Off time features have not been set. To do this,  
press the Menu button and scroll through the programming options. OFF should be  
displayed for Auto Off timer and On/Off. If OFF is not displayed, you must reset  
(refer to page 15).  
The blue light in the  
water reservoir is  
flashing.  
This indicates the water level in the reservoir is low and water must be added (refer  
to page 14) in order to brew a full cup.  
Coffee is too weak or  
watery.  
Reduce the brew size for a stronger-tasting cup of coffee (refer to “Programming  
Your Brew Size” on page 18). Try an Extra Bold K-Cup®. It has 30% more ground  
coffee in each portion pack.
