IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Always unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
4. To protect against electric shock, do not place a cord, plug, or base unit in water or other liquids.
5. This appliance should not be used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, and electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

OPERATING NOTICE

Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the filter basket can occur under any or a combination of any of the following conditions: The use of too finely ground coffee, using two or more paper filters, using the stainless steel filter in conjunction with a paper filter, or not properly cleaning coffee grounds from the stainless steel filter, or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the filter.

IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface.
2. Remove literature.
3. Turn the box so that the back side of the coffee brewer is down and slide the coffee brewer from the box.
4. After the coffee brewer has been removed, place the box out of the way and lift off the left and right inserts.
5. Grasp the carafe by its handle, remove it from the heating plate, and remove the polybag.
6. Remove the polybag covering the coffee brewer. Save all packing materials in case you have to ship the machine in the future.

KEEP ALL PLASTIC BAGS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

• ELEMENT 1: WATER
  Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, bad tastes, and odors for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew.
• ELEMENT 2: COFFEE
  While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose to grind your beans, buy them fresh and whole. Buy only about a two-week supply at a time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly.
• ELEMENT 3: GRIND
  The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If the grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your beans, we recommend a medium-fine grind.
• ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION
  Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of ground coffee in the instructions under MAKING COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to suit your taste.

RINSING YOUR COFFEE BREWER:
We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir, power on the unit, and follow steps 1, 3, and 5 on page 9 under MAKING COFFEE. Do not add coffee!

Charcoal Water Filter
Your coffee brewer comes with a charcoal water filter that eliminates chlorine, bad taste, and odors from tap water.

Inserting the Water Filter

• Remove the filter from the 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 it toward you to open it.
• Place the filter into the holder and snap it closed. Be careful – improper placement can tear the filter skin.
• Flush the filter by running cold tap water through holes in the bottom of the 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, or by calling Cuisinart Customer Service, or at www.cuisinart.com

PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEE BREWER
SETTING THE CLOCK
When the coffee brewer is plugged in, noon will flash in the display for 30 seconds, indicating the unit is in Clock Set mode. If noon stops flashing, simply press the menu button 4 times to the clock option and the time will return to flashing Clock Set mode.

SETTING HOURS AND MINUTES

Use the up arrow to set hours and the down arrow to set minutes. Hold buttons down to scroll through the digits quickly, or press and release to advance one digit at a time. Be sure the PM indicator is on if setting a PM time. Once the time is correct, press MENU to set, or five seconds after finishing, the unit will automatically exit Clock Setting mode.

AUTO ON FUNCTION

1. To set AUTO ON brew time:
   Press and hold the Auto On button for 2 seconds. The digital display will flash the default (noon) or previously selected time and the AUTO ON button will flash. Follow the directions under SETTING THE CLOCK (above) to program your start-brew time. Five seconds after finishing, the unit will automatically exit Auto On Setup mode. AUTO ON will appear on the control panel and the AUTO ON button will illuminate indicating AUTO ON is activated.
   NOTE: To exit Auto On Setup mode, you can also just press the Auto On button again.
2. To reactivate the Auto On feature:
   To start at the same time on another day, simply press the AUTO ON button. The time will appear, the release button and AUTO ON will appear on the control panel, and the AUTO ON button will be illuminated.
3. To deactivate Auto On:
   Press the illuminated Auto On button; AUTO ON will not be displayed on the control panel and the AUTO ON button light will turn off.

SETTING THE AUTO-OFF TIME

1. Press the menu button 3 times to get to the AUTO OFF menu option. The digital display will flash the programmed Auto Off default (0:30) or previously selected time. Follow the directions under SETTING THE CLOCK to program the coffee brewer to shut off from 0 to 2 hours after the brew cycle is finished.
2. To exit/confirm the Auto Off time setting:
   Auto Off Setup mode will be exited automatically after 5 seconds.

MAKING COFFEE

First, follow the instructions in BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE (page 8).

1. Fill the water reservoir
   Lift the coffee brewer lid to open. Pour the desired amount of water into the water reservoir using the water level indicator located at the front of the coffee brewer.
2. Add the ground coffee
   Insert a #4 paper filter, gold tone filter, or the stainless steel etched filter. If using a paper filter be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1–1½ level scoops (tablespoons) of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.
3. Position the carafe and plug-in unit
   Place the carafe on the heating plate and make sure the filter basket is securely in place and the lid is completely closed. Plug the coffee brewer into an electrical outlet.

SCAA COFFEE DOSE RECOMMENDATIONS

• 66 grams medium grind/1.2 L (11 scoops)
• 55 grams medium grind/1 L (9 scoops)
• 27.5 grams medium grind/.5 L (4.5 scoops)

SCAA APPROVED SETTINGS

• Strength: Medium
• Temperature: Hot

NOTE: This is the default setting of your pour-over coffee brewer, but can be adjusted according to your preference.

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 toward the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot.
NOTE: Removing the carafe for more than 20 seconds during the brew cycle may cause the filter basket to overflow.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn the coffee brewer off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Lift the coffee brewer lid. Remove and discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned on 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.

Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Decalcification

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of your coffee brewer. The mineral content of the tap water in your area and the frequency of use affects the rate of calcium buildup, which can affect the functioning of your coffee brewer and the flavor of your coffee. For the best performance from your PurePrecision™ Pour-Over Coffee Brewer, we recommend cleaning it whenever CLEAN is flashing on your control panel.

To clean:

1. Fill the water reservoir with a mixture of 1 ⁄3 white vinegar and 2 ⁄3 water.
2. Press the MENU button 5 times to get to a clean start. Press BREW/OFF to begin the cleaning cycle.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will sound and the coffee brewer will shut off.
4. If CLEAN flashes once more, repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. NOTE: One cleaning cycle is usually sufficient.
5. When CLEAN remains off, run one cycle with a full reservoir of fresh, cold water to rinse the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water filter to the holder inside the water reservoir and your coffee brewer is ready to brew!
