INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT UNPACKING
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
1. Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface.
2. Remove the instruction book and any other
literature.
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 take the
packing material away.
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.
5. Remove the polybag covering the
coffeemaker.
We suggest you save all packing materials
in the event that future shipping of the
machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags
away from children.
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 polar-
ized 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.

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 cof-
fee, 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.
Caution: Never open the top cover 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 the top cover and checking the
filter basket.

SETTING UP YOUR
COFFEEMAKER
THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
1. Unwrap cord and plug the coffeemaker into a
grounded outlet. Make sure to remove all stickers
and packing materials from the unit.
2. Place a large cup or mug (10 oz. minimum) on the
drip tray.
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.
3. Remove lid from water reservoir, then lift reservoir
straight up and away from the coffeemaker. Wash
the reservoir with warm soapy water, and rinse.
4. Fill reservoir with water to the 12-cup line and
return with lid to unit (see figure 1).
Water Reservoir Lid
Water Reservoir
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. Grind only about a two-week supply at a
time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor
degrades quickly.
Element 3: grInd
The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction.
If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and bit-
terness 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 recommend a medium grind.

CHARCOAL WATER
FILTER
Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water filter
that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap
water.
Inserting the Water filter
Element 4: proportIon
1. Remove the filter and filter holder from
the polybags.
Add 1 scoop of ground coffee (1 scoop = 1
tablespoon = ~6 grams) per cup (1 cup = 5 fl.
oz.). You may wish to adjust this amount accord-
ing to your personal taste. Do not use more than
16 scoops (16 tablespoons).
2. Soak the filter,

The default Auto Off time is set to turn the coffeemaker
off two hours after brewing is complete. Follow
directions under SETTING THE CLOCK (in previous
section) to program your coffeemaker to shut off from 0

Before BreWIng Your
fIrSt pot of Coffee
During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped
in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the
system before brewing your first cups of coffee. Simply
fill the water reservoir and power on the unit. (See steps
#2 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE instructions, below).

4. add the ground coffee
SettIng tHe CLoCK
Insert a #4 paper filter or permanent filter into the
filter basket. Be sure that the paper filter is completely
open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to
fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand.
Add 1 scoop (1 tablespoon = ~6 grams) of ground
coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.
When the coffeemaker is plugged in, 12:00 will appear
until you set the time.
turn the function knob to CLoCK
Hold down the Hour or Minute button until the clock
begins flashing. Press either button to select the desired
time. Hold buttons down to scroll through the digits, or
press and release to advance one digit at a time. When
scrolling, the numbers will advance slowly and then
speed up, so as number displayed approaches the
desired time, press and release to advance one digit at
a time. Be sure the PM indicator is on if a PM time is
desired.

note: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is
16 scoops (16 tablespoons) for this coffeemaker.
Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the
coffee is too finely ground.
decalcification
Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium
deposits that form over time on the metal parts of
the coffeemaker.
5. Before brewing coffee
For best performance from your Coffee on Demand™
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.
Make sure the water reservoir is on the unit and the
reservoir lid is on the reservoir. Plug into an electrical
outlet.
6. power unit on
Turn the Function knob to Brew, press the ON/OFF
button, and the blue indicator light will turn on. Or,
set the Auto On function (see above) and the green
indicator will light.
note: Before decalcifying your coffeemaker, remember
to remove the charcoal water filter from the water filter
holder located in the water reservoir.
7. after brewing
When the brewing cycle has completed, five beeps
will sound.
If the Clean 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. Press the Clean button. When the self-clean light
glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the
ON/OFF button. The Clean light 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 light continues to flash. If it does, turn it
off and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh
solution of vinegar and water.
NOTE: The dispenser light illuminates the cup area
when you press the lever to pour coffee into your mug.
