coffeemaker to start brewing when you want. Simply set the desired  
brew time, fill the reservoir with water, put in your filter, add ground  
coffee and press the “ON” button. In minutes, you’ll have a wonderfully  
fresh pot of coffee.  
When complete, press the “prog” button, or wait for 15 seconds and

NOTE: The unit will continue to attempt to brew at the programmed  
time, each day, until the Off button is pressed. The red “ON” indica-  
tor light will illuminate each time the attempt to brew is made.  
9. An audible “beep” tone will signal when brew cycle is complete. The  
coffeemaker will switch off automatically.  
Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes  
after brewing. Use caution.  
If there is no water in the reservoir, the unit will automatically shut off  
one minute later.  
10. After coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open filter basket and  
discard used coffee filter and grounds. To remove filter basket from  
coffeemaker (A) grasp basket handle and swing basket outward,  
and (B) with basket in far right position, lift up and pull  
basket hinge.  
MAKING COFFEE  
1. Place coffeemaker on a solid flat surface.  
Plug into 120V outlet.  
11. Brew-Through lid allows coffee to be poured with lid in “CLOSED”  
position, so coffee freshness and temperature can be preserved.  
NEVER POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS  
IN “CLOSED” POSITION.  
2. Open thermal carafe lid in direction of “OPEN” arrow. Fill thermal  
carafe with cold, fresh water. Open hinged water reservoir cover;  
pour water into reservoir opening. Markings on water level indica-  
tor show amount of water needed to make desired number of cups  
of coffee. TO AVOID OVERFLOW, DO NOT FILL ABOVE 12 CUP  
MARK. Close reservoir cover.  
BREW PAUSE™  
This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before the brew cycle  
has finished. Carefully remove thermal carafe, and the Brew Pause™  
feature will automatically activate, temporarily stopping flow of coffee  
into thermal carafe. Return thermal carafe to platform immediately after  
pouring coffee, and the brewing process will resume.  
3. Before thermal carafe is returned to platform, prewarm carafe by  
running warm water through it. Prewarming carafe will help keep  
coffee warmer.  
4. Return carafe lid to thermal carafe. To close lid, turn it in direction of  
“CLOSE” arrow until it fits tightly on carafe, and “POUR” arrow is  
aligned with spout. Return empty thermal carafe to platform.  
Be certain thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position and is  
securely in place during brew cycle.  
IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its position within 30 seconds to  
prevent filter basket from overflowing.  
NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may vary in strength from  
finished brew.  
5. Open filter basket by grasping basket handle and swinging  
outward. Insert a filter into filter basket; make sure filter fits snugly  
in basket. Use a fresh filter for each carafe of coffee.  
CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be closed securely since  
basket in improper position may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.  
6. After placing 2 level tablespoons per cup of ground coffee into cone  
filter, return basket to closed position. To ensure safe operation,  
make sure basket is closed securely.  
PRECAUTIONS  
1. Do not place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow beneath coffeemaker.  
7. With thermal carafe and basket securely in place, press “ON”  
button; LED will light. CAUTION: Coffeemaker becomes very hot  
during brew cycle; handle with extreme care, as hot parts and  
escaping steam may cause burns.  
2. To avoid accidents, make sure thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED”  
position during brewing and while pouring; do not pour in the  
direction of people.  
3. When pouring, use thermal carafe handle only. Bottom of Thermal  
Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing.  
8. The Brew-Through lid allows coffee to drip from coffeemaker  
through closed lid. When coffee has completely stopped dripping  
into thermal carafe and water level indicator is empty, brew cycle is  
complete. When dripping stops, Brew-Through lid will seal so coffee  
freshness and temperature are preserved.  
4. CAUTION: Burns may result from spilled hot liquid and/or contact  
with hot parts.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Daily  
Always unplug coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning. Wash  
filter basket in hot, soapy water. The carafe and lid can be washed in  
warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. Not recommended for use  
in dishwasher.  
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of  
the coffeemaker.  
Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply  
wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe resting  
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or  
cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water  
reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.  
Monthly  
Minerals found in water can clog coffeemaker or reduce its efficiency.  
To prevent this, fill thermal carafe with 2 cups vinegar. Add cold water  
to top. Pour water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening. Place empty  
thermal carafe (with lid securely closed) on platform and press “ON”  
button. After water/vinegar mixture has been cycled through, press  
“OFF” button. Rinse by cycling through 2 or 3 more carafes of plain  
cold tap water. Do not pour any liquid other than cold tap water or  
water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening when cleaning.

In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase  
date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.  
These warranties exclude all incidental or consequential damages.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion of or limitation of incidental  
or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation or exclusion may  
not apply to you.  
WARRANTY  
THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if  
you own a Cuisinart® Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker that was purchased  
at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as  
otherwise required under applicable state law, this warranty is not  
available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners.  
We warrant that your Cuisinart Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker will be free  
of defects in material or workmanship under normal home use for three  
years from the date of original purchase.  
We suggest that you complete and return the enclosed product registra-  
tion card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase.  
However, return of the product registration card does not eliminate the  
need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order  
to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not  
have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this war-  
ranty will be the date of manufacture.  
If your coffeemaker should prove to be defective within the warranty peri-  
od, we will repair it (or, if we think it necessary, replace it) without charge to  
you. To obtain warranty service, please call our Consumer Service Center  
toll-free at 1-800-726-0190 or write to:

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY  
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents  
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the  
store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells  
Cuisinart® products of the same type. The retail store shall then,  
at its option, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an  
independent repair facility, replace the product or refund the purchase  
price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage  
of the product. If either of the above two options does not result in the  
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the  
product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be  
economically accomplished. Cuisinart, and not the consumer, will be  
responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement  
or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.  
California residents may also, according to their preference, return  
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or if necessary,  
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at  
1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair,  
replacement and shipping and handling for such nonconforming  
products under warranty.  
®
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please also enclose  
$10.00 for shipping and handling of the product (California residents

shipping instructions). Please also be sure to include a return address,  
description of the product defect, product serial number and any other  
information pertinent to the products return. Please pay by check or

BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART® PRODUCT  
If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart product, we

is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts  
and the product is still under warranty.
