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
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.
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.
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, 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.
WARNING

THE QUEST
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, buy only a two-week supply
of fresh coffee beans at a time. Once
the bean is broken, its flavor degrades
quickly. That’s why Cuisinart grinds your
beans just prior to brewing.
Element 3: Grind
The grind is critical for proper flavor
extraction. If the grind is too fine,
overextraction 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. Your
coffeemaker is preset for medium, the
optimal grind for this type of brewing
process.
Element 4: Proportion
Coffee that is too strong or too weak
is always a disappointment. Follow the
recommended portions of whole beans
or ground coffee in the instructions
under MAKING COFFEE, and later
adjust the amount to your taste.
DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE GRINDER
COULD MALFUNCTION AND/OR THE
COFFEEMAKER COULD OVERFLOW.

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 pot of coffee.
Simply follow “Making Coffee with Pre-
Ground Beans,” page 9. Skip step #1 and
be sure to use only water and a paper
filter…no coffee!
Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real
coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at
its best!

Brew Pause™ Feature
Our Brew Pause™ feature interrupts the
flow of coffee from the basket to let you
pour that first cup mid-brew. Be aware
that using this feature will weaken the
flavor strength of the finished pot, because
the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the
beginning of the cycle differs from coffee
made at the end.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to
overflow.

We warrant that your Cuisinart® Grind & Brew 12-
Cup Automatic™ Coffeemaker will be free of
defects in materials and workmanship under
normal home use for 3 years from the date of

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 which
sells Cuisinart products of the same type.
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed
product registration card promptly to facilitate
verification of the date of original purchase.
However, return of the product registration card
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.
If your Cuisinart® Grind & Brew 12-Cup Automatic™
Coffeemaker should prove to be defective within
the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think
necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service,

additional information from our Customer Service
Representatives, or send the defective product to
Customer Service at Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road,
East Windsor, NJ 08520.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, 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 the above two options do not result 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

please enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of
the product.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the
repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for
such products under warranty.
