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.
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.
NOTICE
If you have a diecast metal unit, for your protection, it is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has
a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown
in Figure A.

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.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
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.

The Quest for the Perfect Cup of Coffee
Element 1:
WATER
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.
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.

Set-Up & First Brew
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to use your Cuisinart® Single Serve Brewing System until it has been set up for its first use as outlined below.
NOTE: If Brewer has been exposed to temperatures below freezing, wait at least two hours for Brewer to reach room temperature before brewing. An extremely cold Brewer will not operate.
Setting Up Your Brewer
1.Unwrap cord and plug the Brewer into a grounded outlet. Make sure to remove packing tape, clear plastic sticker from control panel, and sticker from water reservoir. Also be sure to remove the polybag from the My K-Cup® located in the compartment on the right side of the brewer.
2.Place a large cup or mug (10 oz. minimum) on the drip tray.
3.Remove lid from reservoir, then lift reservoir straight up and away from the Brewer. Wash the reservoir with warm soapy water.
4.Fill reservoir with water to the max fill line and return with lid to unit (see figure 1).
