coffee at the top.

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

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.
