If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an
adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained
so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with
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.
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.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding
prong.
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.
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.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in
Canada.

Element 1:
WATER
The Quest
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® Single
Serve Brewing System has added a charcoal water
filter that removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors,
for the purest cup 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®
Single Serve Brewing System, 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.

Stopping the Brew
Process
Purging the Brewer
If your Brewer has not been used for more
than one week, we suggest purging the
water from the inner tank.
If for any reason you need to stop brewing
after the process has started, press the
power switch on the rear right side of the
Brewer to turn the Brewer off. The flow of
coffee, tea or hot cocoa will stop, the heater
will shut off, and the blue lights illuminating
the control panel and reservoir will turn off.
1. If there is water in the reservoir, discard
the water, then rinse and refill with fresh
water. Place the reservoir back on the
Brewer and replace the lid. (If there is no
water in the reservoir, simply fill.)
Note: You may get less coffee, tea or hot
cocoa in your cup during your next brew. In
order for your next brew to be the volume
you have selected, we recommend that you
perform a rinse cycle after a terminated
brew.
2. Be sure the Brewer is turned on. Raise
and lower the handle on the Brewer
without inserting a K-Cup®.
3. When the control panel displays READY,
dispense 12 oz. of hot water by
selecting the 12-oz. cup size and hot
water.
Adding Water
4. Repeat this process two more times to
completely replace the water in the
inner tank.
The Control Panel will indicate when the
water level in your reservoir is low or if the
Reservoir has been removed by displaying
the words “ADD WATER”. The blue light in
the Reservoir will also blink when water
needs to be added. When “ADD WATER” is
displayed, the Brewer will not allow you to
brew.
The Water Reservoir can be filled in
two ways:
1. Lift off the Reservoir Lid and pour water
directly into the Reservoir while it is still
attached to the Brewer, then replace
the Lid.
2. Remove the Reservoir from Brewer by
first removing the Lid from the Reservoir
then lifting the Reservoir straight up and
away from Brewer. Fill with water, place
the Reservoir back on the Brewer, and
replace the Lid.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the Water
Reservoir during the brewing process.

Cleaning &
Maintenance
Note: At high altitudes (over 5,000 feet)
use the temperature adjustment to lower

Cleaning External Parts
We recommend regular cleaning of the
Brewer’s external components.
Programming Your Brew Size
1. Never immerse the Brewer in water or
other liquids. The housing and other
external components may be cleaned
with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.
The Brewer’s default brew size preset
is 8 oz. The default brew size lets you
choose the brew size most often used.

Cleaning the Water Reservoir
& Lid
Neither the reservoir lid nor the reservoir
should be put into the dishwasher. Clean
them with a damp, soapy, non-abrasive
cloth and rinse thoroughly. Do not dry the
inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as
lint may remain.
Caution: Rinse the water reservoir
thoroughly after cleaning to ensure
that no cleaners or cleaning
solutions remain in this area, as they
may contaminate the Brewer’s
water supply.

3. Cleaning the Exit Needle – The Exit
Needle is located on the inside bottom
of the K-Cup Holder Assembly. Should a
clog arise due to coffee grinds, it can be
cleaned using a paper clip or similar tool.
Remove K-Cup Holder (as shown in
figure 27). Insert the paper clip (see figure
28) to loosen the clog and push it out.

Follow these steps to de-scale your
unit:
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
Brewer parts that come in contact with
water.
1. Empty the reservoir.
2. Disable the AUTO OFF and OFF TIME
features.
3. Making sure there is no K-Cup in the
brewing chamber, fill the reservoir with
60 oz. of undiluted white vinegar.
4. Place a large mug on the drip tray and
run a Hot Water cycle. Select the 12 oz.
brew size. Discard contents of mug.
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.
5. Repeat the hot water process until ADD
WATER is displayed on the control panel
and the reservoir lights will flash.
This Brewer is equipped with sensors to
detect when scale buildup is interfering with
the performance of the Brewer. When this is
detected, DE-SCALE will be displayed on the
control panel (see figure 30), at which point
you should promptly de-scale. However,
even if DE-SCALE is not displayed, it is still
advisable that you de-scale your Brewer
regularly.
6. Let the Brewer stand for at least four
hours while still on.
7. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly
and fill with fresh water.
8. Run another Hot Water cycle. Discard
contents of large mug.
9. Repeat hot water process until ADD
WATER is displayed on the control panel
and the reservoir lights will flash.
10. You may need to perform additional
Hot Water cycles if you detect any
residual vinegar taste.
Note: If DE-SCALE is still displayed on
the control panel after completing the
procedure, repeat the de-scaling
procedure above.
figure 30
Note: Though the Brewer will continue to
function even when DE-SCALE is displayed,
not de-scaling at that point could damage
the Brewer. If this occurs, DE-SCALE will
begin to flash on the control panel to alert
you to potential damage if you do not
de-scale immediately.

to page 14) in order to brew a full cup.
Coffee is too weak or
watery.
Reduce the brew size for a stronger-tasting cup of coffee (refer to “Programming
Your Brew Size” on page 18). Try an Extra Bold K-Cup®. It has 30% more ground
coffee in each portion pack.
