WARNING: RISK OF FIRE
OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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
A burr grinder produces maximum flavor
from coffee beans. The process actually
crushes the bean, to release more of the
oils and flavors that create the besttasting coffee. The texture of the grind
is critical. Too fine, and it may clog the
filter. Too coarse, and water passes
through too quickly to extract the full
coffee flavor. 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. Your
coffeemaker automatically grinds the
right amount of beans for the strength
level and number of cups you choose.
If using pre-ground coffee, start by
using 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of
ground coffee per cup, and later adjust
the amount to your taste.
