Notes on the Self Clean Function Pressing the Self Clean button cancels all other settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it again to return the coffeemaker to all its previous settings. Pressing ON/OFF will also exit the Self Clean Mode and turn the coffeemaker OFF. 6. 1-4 Cup Setting: The 1-4 cup setting button is used when you make small amounts of coffee. Normal coffeemakers will produce a colder batch of coffee when smaller amounts are made, because the heater doesn't have enough time to properly 'warm up' to heat a small amount. The 1-4 setting basically 'double heats' the water, making your smaller amount as piping hot as a full pot would be. To use: When making a smaller amount, press the 1-4 button on the control panel after turning on the unit. 7. Heater Plate 'Keep Warm' Control: The knob on the right of the control panel is the heater plate control setting for after brewing temperature. You can choose one of three heat settings to keep your coffee warm: low, medium, or high. MAKING COFFEE Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Brew Central™ Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once using only water and a filter paper. This will remove any dust or residues that remain in the system from the manufacturing process. 1.
