5. Place mug on the drip tray. 6. Press the 10 oz. cup button. Light will start flashing and the hot water will start to dispense momentarily. 7. The one-time cleaning process is complete.

Charcoal Water Filter Your brewer comes with a charcoal water filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap water. Inserting the Water Filter 1. Remove the filter and filter holder from the polybag. 2. Soak the filter, fully immersed in cold tap water, for 15 minutes. 3. Place the charcoal water filter in the holder and snap the holder cover closed. Be careful - improper placement can tear the filter skin (see figure below). 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, or by calling Cuisinart Consumer Service, or at www.cuisinart.com. 4. Flush the filter and holder by running fresh water through the hole in the bottom of the compartment for 10 seconds. 5. Allow the filter to drain completely. 9
