MAKING COFFEE WITH WHOLE BEANS Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once, using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues which will remain in the system from the manufacturing process. Note: Allow the grinder to grind free of beans for this process. 1. Fill the Water Reservoir Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the water level window indicator. Close the reservoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12-cup line. Doing so may cause the carafe to overflow. 2. Add Beans Lift the hopper lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the hopper with beans. We recommend keeping the hopper at least halfway full. Be sure that you have a sufficient amount of beans in your hopper for the amount of coffee you intend to brew (maximum capacity is ½ lb. Do not overpack the hopper. Over-packing the hopper may result in jamming the grinder.) For easy filling, the hopper container can be taken out by turning the hopper container release knob to the unlock position. Note: Do not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been removed. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction. Put hopper lid back in place. 3. Lock Hopper If you have removed the hopper from the unit, be sure that the hopper container release knob is in the unlocked position and place the hopper container back in the unit. Turn the knob to locked position. This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The unit will not operate grinding function if the hopper container is not in place. If you try to turn on the unit for grinding with the hopper out of place, the unit will beep continuously until the missing part is installed. The brewing process can be restarted by pressing the On button. Restarting the process will not affect coffee results. 4. Insert Coffee Filter Open filter door by pressing filter basket door release button. Remove filter basket cover and place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart's commercial style permanent filter in the basket. Note: When using our permanent filter, be sure that the handle is positioned toward the front of the unit. If you do not, the handle may interfere with the flow of coffee into the filter basket. Also note: Using our permanent gold-tone filter will allow some fine coffee grounds to fall into the carafe. When using a paper filter, be sure that the filter is completely open while touching the side walls and bottom of the basket. Put filter basket cover in place. Close filter door. The unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The unit will not operate if the filter basket cover or filter basket are not in place or if the filter door is not closed. If you try to turn the unit on while the filter compartment is out of place, the unit will beep continuously until the missing part(s) are installed. 5. Brewing A. Immediate Grinding and Brewing 1.
