BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply follow Making Coffee with Pre-Ground Beans, page 10. Be sure to use only water and a paper filter...no coffee! Once you've done that, brew a pot of real coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best! 3. Add Beans Remove the hopper lid. Add beans. We recommend keeping the hopper full to ensure there are always enough beans for the number of cups you want to brew. But be careful: Maximum capacity is ½ lb; overfilling the hopper may jam the grinder. Replace hopper lid. MAKING COFFEE WITH WHOLE BEANS Follow instructions for Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee, above. 1. Insert Charcoal Water Filter Follow directions for the preperation and insertion of the charcoal water filter on page 8. 2. Fill the Water Reservoir Open the reservoir lid and pour in water, using the water level window indicator to measure the number of cups desired. NOTE: Do not exceed the 12-cup line. Doing so could cause carafe to overflow. 4. Inserting the Coffee Filter Press the Filter Basket Door Release Button to open door. Open the Filter Basket Cover. (See page 5, #13) • Basket-style paper filter: Be sure filter is fully opened and touching walls of basket. • Cuisinart® commercial-style permanent filter: Position handle of our gold-tone filter toward front of coffeemaker so it does not obstruct water flow. Close the filter basket lid, and push the filter basket door closed until you hear it snap shut. NOTE: Do not use both, a paper filter and the included permanent filter at the same time. This will cause the unit to overflow. NOTE: The built-in safety interlock system will not allow unit to operate if filter or filter basket cover are not in place, or if the door is not properly closed. A continuous beep will sound until everything is in place. 5. Set Preferences a. P ress the ON/OFF button to turn the coffeemaker on. White LED will illuminate. b.
