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.

INSTRUCTIONS  
SAFEGUARDS  
A short power-supply cord is provided to  
reduce the risks resulting from becoming  
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
12. Scalding may occur if the water filter  
compartment cover is removed during  
the brewing cycles.  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety  
precautions should always be followed to  
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or  
injury to persons, including the following:  
13. Do not use appliance for other than  
intended use.  
Longer extension cords are available and  
may be used if care is exercised in their use.  
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding  
prong.  
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
14. Do not lift handle to open the lid of the  
brewer while brewing is in progress.  
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.  
2. Always unplug from outlet when not  
in use and before cleaning. Allow to  
cool before putting on or taking off  
parts and before cleaning the  
appliance.  
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.  
15. Do not overfill the water reservoir with  
water. Use ONLy WATER in this  
appliance! Do not put any other liquids  
or foods in the water reservoir except  
as instructed in the cleaning instructions  
in this guide.  
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles  
and knobs.  
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in  
Canada.  
16. Do not clean drip tray with cleansers,  
steel wool pads, or other abrasive  
materials.  
4. To protect against electric shock and  
injury to persons, do not place cord,  
plug, or base unit in water or other  
liquids.

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® Compact  
Single Serve has added a charcoal water filter that  
removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the  
purest cup of coffee 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®  
Compact Single Serve, 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.

Once the vinegar is dispensed,  
discard it into sink.  
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  
parts that come in contact with water.  
Step 2: Second Vinegar rinse  
Pour the remaining 10 ounces of vinegar  
into the water reservoir.  
Place the ceramic mug on the drip tray.  
Lift the brewer handle, but do not add  
a K-Cup®  
.
After all the vinegar has drained, lower  
the brewer handle and press the Hot  
Water button.  
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.  
3. Cleaning the Exit Needle –  
The Hot Water button will illuminate blue,  
indicating the brewer is heating.  
The exit needle is located on the inside  
bottom of the K-Cup® holder assembly.  
Should a clog arise because of coffee  
grounds, it can be cleaned using a  
paper clip or similar tool. Remove  
K-Cup® holder and insert the paper clip  
to loosen the clog and push it out.  
Power the brewer off as it starts to  
dispense.  
Allow brewer to sit for 30 minutes.  
Power on the brewer, lift and lower  
brewer handle, then press the Brew  
button.  
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.  
Once the vinegar is dispensed, discard  
hot contents into sink.  
Step 3: fresh Water rinse  
• Repeat step 1 three times using  
freshwater in place of vinegar  
.
note: Before de-scaling your brewer  
remember to remove the charcoal water  
filter from the water filter holder located in  
the water reservoir.  
Cleaning the Water reservoir  
This will clean the brewer plumbing and  
remove any residual vinegar taste. The  
brewer is now ready for normal use.  
It is normal over time for discoloration,  
spotting or staining to appear in the water  
reservoir. Results will vary depending on the  
mineral content of the bottled or filtered  
water used but will not affect the operation  
of the brewer. However, be sure to clean the  
water reservoir regularly to minimize build-  
up.  
To begin, you will need the following:  
20 ounces of distilled white vinegar  
12-ounce ceramic mug (do not use  
paper cup)
