Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely. 5. Before brewing coffee Make sure the thermal carafe is in position on the resting plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. 6. Power unit Turn the Function knob to brew, press the on/off button, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see page 7) and the green indicator will light. 7. After brewing is complete Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. Stir coffee before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top. Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening. Brew Pause Feature This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed towards the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. 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 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 customer service, or at www.cuisinart. com.
