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

Element 3: Grind  
THE QUEST FOR THE  
The grind is critical for proper flavour extraction.  
If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and  
bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also  
clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water  
will pass through too quickly and the desired  
flavours will not be extracted. The Fully  
Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal  
Coffeemaker is preset for a medium grind, the  
optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.  
PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE  
It is generally agreed that there are four basic  
elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee:  
Element 1: Water  
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the  
quality of the water is as important as the quality  
of the coffee. 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 coffee. That’s why  
Cuisinart has added a water filter to the Fully  
Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal  
Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter removes  
chlorine, bad tastes and odours, for the purest  
cup of coffee every time.  
Element 4: Proportion  
The Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™  
Thermal Coffeemaker makes up to twelve (12)  
5-ounce (148 ml) cups of coffee.  
Using Whole Beans  
We recommend refilling the hopper after two full  
pots of coffee have been brewed. Be sure that  
you have a sufficient amount of beans in your  
hopper for the amount of coffee you intend to  
brew.  
Element 2: Coffee  
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the  
flavour should be from the coffee. To achieve  
the same great quality cup of coffee you receive  
at a coffee bar, you need to use the same  
quality beans. Buy the beans fresh and whole,  
only about two weeks’ supply at a time for  
maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is  
broken, its flavour degrades very quickly. That’s  
why the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™  
Thermal Coffeemaker grinds your coffee just  
prior to brewing. If it is not practical to buy small  
supplies, we recommend you separate larger  
amounts of beans into one to two week portions  
immediately after purchase, and freeze them in  
airtight containers. The best way to maximize  
freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light  
and moisture. So, once beans have been  
removed from the freezer, maintain them in a  
sealed container at room temperature, since  
damaging condensation occurs every time the  
beans are removed from the freezer or  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for whole beans  
is ½ lb (250 g). — enough for over two 12-cup  
(1.8 L) pots of coffee.  
Using Pre-Ground Coffee  
Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole  
beans, you can make coffee in the Fully  
Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal  
Coffeemaker using pre-ground beans. To do so,  
turn off the grinder by pressing the Grind Off  
button before turning on the unit.  
Our recipe  
We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of  
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount to  
your taste.  
refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts  
advise against freezing dark-roast beans,  
because freezing can cause the oils to  
coagulate. Other experts disagree. We suggest  
you experiment and decide for yourself.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee  
is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or  
permanent filter. Exceeding this amount may  
cause overflow.

INSERTING THE WATER  
FILTER  
MAKING COFFEE WITH  
WHOLE BEANS  
Before you make the first pot of coffee in your  
new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind &  
Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker, we recommend  
operating the coffeemaker once, using only  
water and a paper filter. This will remove any  
dust or residues which will remain in the system  
from the manufacturing process. Note: Allow the  
grinder to grind free of beans for this process.  
1. Fill the Water Reservoir  
Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired  
amount of water in the reservoir using the  
water level window indicator. Close the  
reservoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the  
12-cup (1.8 L) line. Doing so may cause the  
carafe to overflow.  
2. Add Beans  
Lift the hopper lid, using the recess on  
either side. Fill the hopper with beans. We  
recommend keeping the hopper at least  
halfway full. Be sure that you have a  
sufficient amount of beans in your hopper  
for the amount of coffee you intend to brew  
(maximum capacity is ½ lb (250 g)). Over  
packing may result in jamming the grinder.  
a. Remove the filter from polybag and soak in  
cold tap water for 15 minutes.  
b. Remove the water filter holder from the  
coffeemaker by lifting it out of the reservoir  
area with your thumb and forefinger.  
For easy filling, the hopper container can be  
taken out by turning the hopper container  
release knob to the unlock position.  
c. Grasp the stem in one hand. Using the  
thumb of the other hand, gently press  
down and pull toward you. Compartment  
will flip open.  
Note: Do not put any water in the unit once the  
hopper container has been removed. If water  
gets into the grinder motor, the motor may  
become damaged and may malfunction.  
d. Place the filter in the holder and close the  
water filter holder; you will hear a snap  
indicating filter is in place.  
Put hopper lid back in place.  
NOTE: Caution must be used when inserting the  
charcoal filter. Improper placement in the holder

This unit is equipped with a safety interlock  
system. The unit will not grind if the hopper  
container is not in place. If you try to turn on the  
unit for grinding with the hopper out of place,  
the unit will beep continuously until the missing  
part is installed.  
2. Press the Strength Control button to set  
coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG  
will show on the LCD display.

4.Insert Coffee Filter  
Open filter door by pressing filter basket door  
release button. Remove filter basket cover and  
place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s  
commercial style permanent filter in the basket.  
Programming Your Coffeemaker on page 8.)  
Note: When using our permanent filter, be sure  
that the handle is positioned toward the front of  
the unit. If you do not, the handle may interfere  
with the flow of coffee into the filter basket.  
1. Turn the Grind Control knob to set cups  
setting. The coffeemaker will grind the  
corresponding amount of beans. The unit  
will process low cup setting to improve  
extraction and flavour when 2 or 4 cups is  
chosen.  
Also note: Using our permanent gold-tone filter  
will allow some fine coffee grounds to fall into  
the carafe.  
2. Press the Strength Control button to set  
coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG  
will show on the LCD display.  
When using a paper filter, be sure that the filter  
is completely open while touching the side walls  
and bottom of the basket.  
3.The coffeemaker will begin brewing at the  
programmed time.  
Put filter basket cover in place. Close filter door.  
(You will hear a click if the door is properly shut.)  
6.During and After Brewing  
The unit is equipped with a safety interlock  
system. The unit will not operate if the filter  
basket cover or filter basket are not in place or if  
the filter door is not closed. If you try to turn the  
unit on while the filter compartment is out of  
place, the unit will beep continuously until the  
missing part(s) are installed.  
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove  
the carafe from the resting plate during mid-  
brew. The brewing process does not stop during  
this period; only the flow of coffee from the  
basket stops. Do not remove the carafe for  
longer than 20 seconds or the coffee may  
overflow the basket. While we offer this feature,  
we do not recommend that you pour coffee  
before the cycle has reached completion, since  
the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle  
has a flavour profile which is very different from  
the coffee made at the end of the cycle.  
Before Brewing Coffee  
Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the  
direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe  
by rinsing it out with hot water. PREWARMING  
THE CARAFE WILL HELP KEEP THE COFFEE  
HOTTER.  
Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the  
lid, turn in the direction of the lock arrow until it  
fits tightly on carafe and arrow lines up in the  
center of the pour spout. This ensures that the  
lid is closed and in the proper position for  
brewing and pouring.  
Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will  
alter the flavor of the finished pot.  
When the brewing cycle is completed, five  
beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to  
stream from the filter for several seconds. After  
brewing, the unit will automatically shut itself  
off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot  
for hours.  
Make sure you have replaced the thermal carafe  
in it’s position on the resting plate and closed  
the top cover.
