BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir and power on the unit, following steps #2, #4, #5 and #6 in BREWING COFFEE instructions on the next page. DO NOT ADD COFFEE! Once you've done that, brew a pot of coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best! PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEEMAKER TO SET THE TIME Press and hold the HOUR or MINUTE button. The clock will begin flashing. 1. Set Hour: Press and hold the HOUR button to scroll through numbers quickly. When desired number approaches, press and release the button to advance one digit at a time. NOTE: When the number count passes 12 PM will be displayed on the LCD. Be sure the PM indicator is on if a PM time is desired. 2. Set Minutes: Press and hold the MINUTE button to scroll through numbers quickly. When desired number approaches, press and release the button to advance one digit at a time. To finish setting time, simply wait until the numbers stop flashing. TO PROGRAM THE AUTO ON TIME (BREW START TIME) 1. To set up the time for Auto On, hold the PROG button until clock begins to flash. Set the time you want coffee to begin brewing by using the MINUTE and HOUR buttons. Note: To use the previously selected Auto On time again for Programming, simply press PROG button once. The coffeemaker will remember the time set previously unless unplugged for more than 1 minute. 2. To activate Auto On mode, press the PROG button and release. The blue PROG indicator light will turn on to remind you that the programming function is in use. At the programmed time, the blue indicator light will turn off and the blue BREW/OFF indicator light will turn on, indicating that the brew cycle is starting. The blue indicator light of BREW/ OFF button will turn off when Keep Warm cycle ends. NOTE: To turn off the Programming Function, press the PROG button once. The blue PROG indicator light should turn off. CHARCOAL WATER FILTER Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap water. Inserting the Water Filter • Remove the filter from the polybag and soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap water for 15 minutes. • Lift the water filter holder out of the water reservoir (see diagram, page 5). • Press down on the filter compartment and pull toward you to open. • Place filter into the holder and snap it closed. Be careful - improper placement can tear the filter skin. • Flush filter by running cold tap water through holes in bottom of compartment for 10 seconds. • Allow the filter to drain completely. • Slide the water filter holder back into the channel in the water reservoir, pushing it down to the base of the unit. NOTE: We recommend changing the water filter every 60 days or after 60 uses, and more often if you have hard water. Replacement filters can be purchased in stores, by calling Cuisinart Consumer Service, or at www.cuisinart.com. 7
