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, because
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
3. Turn the box so that the back side of
the coffeemaker is down and slide the
coffeemaker from the box.
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
4. After the coffeemaker has been
removed, place the box out of the way
and lift off the left and right packing
inserts.
5. Grasp the carafe by its handle, remove
it from the heating plate, and remove
the polybag.
recommend a medium-fine grind.
6. Remove the polybag covering
the coffeemaker.
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 MAKING
COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to
suit your taste.
7. Remove protective label from digital
display before first use.
Save all packing materials in case you have
to ship the machine in the future.

Brew Pause™ Feature
CHARCOAL WATER FILTER
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee
from the basket to let you pour that first
cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile
of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle
differs from that brewed towards the
end, be aware that using this feature will
weaken the flavor strength of the
finished pot.
Your coffeemaker comes with a
charcoal water filter that eliminates
chlorine, bad tastes and odors from
tap water.
Inserting the Water Filter
• Remove the filter from polybag and
soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap
water for 15 minutes.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than
20 seconds may cause filter basket to
overflow.
• Lift the water filter holder out of the
water reservoir.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
• Press down on the filter compartment
and pull toward you to open.
• Place filter into the holder and snap
it closed. Be careful – improper
placement can tear the filter skin.
• Flush filter by running cold tap water
through holes in bottom of
compartment for 10 seconds.
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and
discard the paper filter and ground coffee.
The filter basket can be washed in warm,
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or
cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher.
Dry all parts after use.
• Allow the filter to drain completely.
• Slide tab into position below the
current month
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.
• Slide the water filter holder back
into the channel in the water
reservoir, pushing it
down to the base of
the unit.
Remove the carafe from the heating 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.
NOTE: We
recommend changing
the water filter every
60 days or after 60
uses, and more often
if you have hard water.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Replacement filters
can be purchased in
stores, by calling
Cuisinart Customer
Service, or at www.
cuisinart.com.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquids. 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 heating plate with a clean, damp cloth.
Never use rough, abrasive materials or
cleansers to clean the heater plate. Do not
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a
cloth, as lint may remain.

Maintenance
Notes on the Clean Function
Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
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 Brew/Off will also
exit the Clean mode and turn the
coffeemaker off.
Decalcification
Decalcification refers to the removal of
calcium deposits that form over time on the
metal parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your
PerfecTemp™ 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. 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 sign in the digital display and the
Clean LED indicator 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 1⁄ white vinegar and 2⁄ water.
3
3
Press the Clean button. When the Clean LED
indicator glows, turn the coffeemaker on by
pressing the Brew/Off button. The Clean LED
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 sign and
Clean LED continue to flash. If they do, turn
coffeemaker off and then repeat the cleaning
procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar
and water.
If the Clean sign and Clean LED no
longer flash, turn the coffeemaker off and
then run one cycle of fresh, cold water
through the unit before using the unit again
to brew coffee.

WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only.
You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart®
PerfecTemp™ 14-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
that was purchased at retail for personal, family
or household use. Except as otherwise required
under applicable law, this warranty is not
available to retailers or other commercial
purchasers or owners. We warrant that your
Cuisinart® PerfecTemp™ 14-Cup Programmable
Coffeemaker will be free of defects in materials
and workmanship under normal home use for
3 years from the date of original purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website,
www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to
complete your product registration. However,
product registration does not eliminate the
need for the consumer to maintain the original
proof of purchase in order to obtain the
warranty benefits. In the event that you do not
have proof of purchase date, the purchase date
for purposes of this warranty will be the date
of manufacture.
Your Cuisinart® PerfecTemp™ 14-Cup
Programmable Coffeemaker has been
manufactured to the strictest specifications and
has been designed for use only in 120-volt
outlets and only with authorized accessories
and replacement parts. This warranty expressly
excludes any defects or damages caused by
attempted use of this unit with a converter, as
well as use with accessories, replacement parts
or repair service other than those authorized by
Cuisinart. This warranty does not cover any
damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment
or other than ordinary household use. This
warranty excludes all incidental or
consequential damages. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of these
damages, so these exclusions may not apply to
you. You may also have other rights, which vary
from state to state.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty
Service, California residents have the option of
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the
store where it was purchased or (B) to another
retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the
same type. The retail store shall then, according
to its preference, either 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
neither of the above two options results 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. California residents
may also, according to their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart
for repair or, if necessary, replacement by
calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at
800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for
the cost of the repair, replacement, and
