If a long extension cord is used, the marked electri-  
cal 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.  
THE COFFEE BAR™  
FLAVOR SYSTEM  
All coffee has the rich aromatic flavors we  
associate with a great cup of coffee, as well as the  
acidic, bitter flavors we associate with a bad cup.  
Commercial brewers have discovered that the  
“good” and “bad” flavors wash out of the grounds  
at a different rate, with the good flavors washing out  
faster than the bad. The trick is to use only enough  
water to wash out the good flavors and leave the  
bad behind. The relatively small amount of water  
needed to do this leaves a very strong cup of  
coffee, so it is necessary to add some water to  
bring it to a pleasant strength.  
IMPORTANT UNPACKING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
Place the box on a large sturdy flat surface. Lift the  
topmost cardboard insert from the box. The top of  
the coffeemaker will be visible. Turn the box so that  
the back side of the coffeemaker is down and slide  
the coffeemaker from the box. After the coffeemake  
has been removed, place the box out of the way  
and, with one hand on the cardboard insert which  
protects the carafe, turn the coffeemaker upright.  
Carefully remove the cardboard carafe insert by  
placing one hand on the carafe to hold it in place,  
and gently sliding the insert away from the

FEATURES AND BENEFITS  
2. Flavor System Settings:  
Every feature of the Coffee BarTM Classic 10-cup  
Coffeemaker has been designed for ease of use.  
We made a large water window which is easily  
viewed from the front of the machine, and the  
reservoir lid opens to the back to give easy access  
for filling. The removable filter basket liner is molded  
in black plastic to avoid unsightly staining. We put  
rubber feet on the front of the machine only, so it's  
easy to move around on the countertop, yet won't  
slide as you set the controls. We also reasoned that  
an easy-to-hold carafe would allow you more control  
while pouring, helping to avoid spills. And we placed  
the carafe markings next to the handle, not on the  
side of the pot, so you can easily see them as you  
fill the carafe with water.  
Give a guideline for optimum flavor extraction  
based on number of cups being brewed. Set  
to “1-4  
” to improve extraction and flavor  
when making fewer than 5 cups of coffee.  
Simply set the red dial for the number of cups of coffee  
you are brewing, and the flavor system ensures great  
coffee bar flavor.

paper filter beforehand. Add the desired amount of  
ground coffee, which should correspond to the  
amount of coffee being brewed. Our recipe calls  
for about 8 grams of medium-fine grind coffee  
(2 tablespoons) per 5 ounces of water, which  
translates to the measurements in the chart.  
MAKING COFFEE  
Before making the first pot of coffee in your new  
Cuisinart® Coffee BarCoffeemaker, we  
recommend operating the coffeemaker once  
using only water and a filter paper. This will  
remove any dust or residues which remain in  
the system from the manufacturing process.  
You may find the flavor to be a bit richer than that  
to which you are accustomed. We recommend,  
however, that you continue to use this recipe for  
at least a week before making any adjustments to  
the proportion.  
1. Fill the Water Reservoir:  
Remove the carafe from the hot plate. Open the  
carafe cover and fill with cold water to just over the  
amount of coffee you are making. Close the  
carafe cover. Lift the lid of the water reservoir and  
pour the water from the carafe into it. The numbers  
on the water reservoir indicate a slightly higher  
amount of water per cup than the carafe markings.  
This is to compensate for the amount of water lost  
in wetting the grounds and lost as steam during  
the brewing process. The float on the water  
window indicates the amount of water necessary  
to brew the corresponding amount of coffee.  
Replace the filter holder in the filter basket and  
swing the filter basket shut. Be sure that it closes  
securely into place.

NOTE: If you use less than the recommended  
coffee measure, or you use a grind that is finer  
than the recommended grind, set the flavor  
system to a higher cup setting. This takes  
more water out of the grounds to prevent  
overextraction. Conversely, if you use more  
coffee or a coarser grind, set flavor system to  
a lower setting.  
4. Power Unit:  
Switch the control panel to ON. The indicator will  
light.  
5. Select Cups Setting:  
To deactivate the flavor system, turn the selector  
knob counterclockwise to the OFFsetting. Close  
the lid of the reservoir.  
If you are brewing fewer than 5 cups, activate the  
1-4setting using the rocker switch. The indicator  
light will illuminate. Note that the light  
will only come on if the coffeemaker has been  
turned on.  
3. Add Ground Coffee:  
Swing the filter basket from left to right to open.  
Remove the filter holder by grasping the handle  
and lifting straight up, and place it on the counter-  
top. Insert a #4 paper or permanent filter (such as  
Cuisinart CGF-1 or GTF-1). Be sure that the filter  
is completely open and fully inserted in the basket.  
It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a  
6. During and After Brewing:  
The Brew Pausefeature allows you to remove  
the carafe from the heater 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

30 seconds or the coffee may overflow the  
basket. While we offer this feature, we do not  
recommend 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 brewed at the end of  
the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle  
will alter the flavor of the finished pot.  
Do not use 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. Wipe warming  
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough,  
abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the  
warming plate. Do not dry the inside of the water  
reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.  
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before  
serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the  
bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger  
than the coffee at the top.  
DECALCIFICATION  
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium  
deposits which form over time on the metal parts of  
the coffeemaker.  
After brewing, we recommend transferring the cof-  
fee to a thermal carafe preheated with hot water  
if the coffee is not going to be consumed within  
20 minutes.  
For best performance from your Coffee Bar™  
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.  
CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
If the coffeemaker begins to brew more slowly  
than usual, or the coffee does not taste the same,  
decalcification will clean the interior. To decalcify,  
use a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water  
which fills the stated capacity of the coffeemaker.  
Combine in the glass carafe and pour into the water  
reservoir. Replace the carafe on the heater plate.  
Be sure that the filter basket is snapped into  
position. Plug the unit into electrical outlet. Turn  
to the ON position and run until half the amount  
has brewed (5 or 6 cups). Turn the unit to the OFF  
position and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Return the  
unit to ON and allow the remainder of the liquid to  
brew. Repeat the above procedure as many times  
as necessary until a normal brew rate returns –  
usually 2-3 times. With each repeated cycle, use  
a fresh solution of vinegar and water. Run one  
cycle of fresh, cold water through the unit at the  
completion of decalcification before using the unit to  
brew coffee again.  
Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the  
plug from the electrical outlet before attempting  
to clean it.  
Swing the filter basket open and remove the filter  
holder. Discard the filter paper and ground coffee.  
The filter holder can be washed in warm soapy  
water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the  
upper rack of a dishwasher.  
To clean the filter basket, with the filter holder  
removed, swing it to the open position and lift  
upward at the hinge. Holding it in this position, pull  
the bottom of the hinge toward you. Once the lower  
portion of the hinge is clear of the reservoir, it will  
drop easily from its position. The filter basket can  
be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed  
thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.  
Once the filter basket has been cleaned, replace it  
by reversing the above steps. The filter holder will  
then drop easily into place. Swing the filter basket  
back into a closed position.  
Remove the carafe from the warming 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.
