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.
IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface.
2. Remove the instruction book and any other literature.
3. Turn the box so that the back side of the brewer is down and slide the brewer from the box.
4. After removing the brewer, place the box out of the way and take the side pulp-molded inserts away.
5. Remove the polybag covering the brewer.
We suggest you save all packing materials in the event that future shipping of the machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags away from children.

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® Compact Single-Serve Brewer has added a charcoal water filter that removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest cup of coffee 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 a great quality beverage, you need to use the same quality ingredients. By using the best single serve coffee capsules, you can be assured that you’re getting the finest product with every cup you brew. If you choose to use your own coffee in a reusable coffee capsule (not included), 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 single serve coffee capsule, 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 Brewer, working in conjunction with a single-serve capsule, will always produce the perfect cup every time. When grinding your own coffee and using it in a reusable coffee capsule (not included), remember to add the amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the number of ounces being brewed.
