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. • 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 tab into position below the current month • 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. 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. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use. Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the filter basket with a damp cloth. Remove the carafe from the heating plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only. Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker. Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heater plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain. 9
