spill over the filter.  
The exclamation point within an  
equilateral triangle is intended to  
alert the user to the presence of  
important operating and maintenance  
(servicing) instructions in the literature  
accompanying the appliance.  
Caution: Never open the filter basket during  
the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining  
from the filter basket, since extremely hot  
water/coffee can spill out from the filter basket  
and cause injury. If water/coffee is not draining  
from the filter basket during the brewing cycle,  
unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before  
opening and checking the filter basket.  
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.  
Longer extension cords are available and  
may be used if care is exercised in their use.  
If a long 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

Element 3: Grind  
THE QUEST FOR THE  
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 grind is too coarse, the water  
will pass through too quickly and the desired  
flavors will not be extracted. The Cuisinart® Fully  
Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Coffeemaker is  
preset for a medium grind, the optimal grind for  
this type of coffeemaker.  
PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE  
It is generally agreed that there are four basic  
elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee:  
Element 1: Water  
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the  
quality of the water is as important as the  
quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is  
that if your water doesn’t taste good from the  
tap, it won’t taste any better in your coffee.  
That’s why Cuisinart has added a water filter  
to the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™  
Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter removes  
chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest  
cup of coffee every time.  
Element 4: Proportion  
The Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind &  
Brew™ Coffeemaker makes up to twelve cups  
(54oz.) of coffee.  
Using Whole 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.  
Element 2: Coffee  
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the  
flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve the  
same great quality cup of coffee you receive at  
a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality  
beans. Buy the beans fresh and whole, only  
about two weeks’ supply at a time for maximum  
freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its  
flavor degrades very quickly. That’s why the  
Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for whole beans  
is ½ lb. — enough for over two 12-cup pots of  
coffee.  
Using Pre-Ground Coffee  
Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole  
beans, you can make coffee in the Cuisinart®  
Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™  
Coffeemaker using pre-ground beans. To do so,  
turn off the grinder by pressing the Grind Off  
button before turning on the unit.  
Coffeemaker grinds your coffee just prior to  
brewing. If it is not practical to buy small  
supplies, we recommend you separate larger  
amounts of beans into one to two week portions  
immediately after purchase, and freeze them in  
airtight containers. The best way to maximize  
freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light  
and moisture. So, once beans have been  
removed from the freezer, maintain them  
in a sealed container at room temperature, since  
damaging condensation occurs every time the  
beans are removed from the freezer or  
Our recipe  
We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of  
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount  
to your taste.  
refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts  
advise against freezing dark-roast beans,  
because freezing can cause the oils to  
coagulate. Other experts disagree. We suggest  
you experiment and decide for yourself.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground  
coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper  
or permanent filter. Exceeding this amount may  
cause overflow.

release the button and press repeatedly to  
advance one digit at a time.  
The Automatic Shutoff Time may be pro-  
grammed either before or during coffee brewing.  
You may also re-program the shutoff time when  
brewing has been completed. If you do so, the  
unit will automatically account for any time that  
has already elapsed after brewing. For example,  
if you set the shutoff time for 40 minutes and 25  
minutes have already elapsed, the unit will shut  
off automatically after 15 minutes (40 minutes  
minus the 25 elapsed equals 15 minutes).  
NOTE: We recommend changing the water filter  
every 60 days or 60 uses or more often if you  
have hard water.  
Replacement water filters can be purchased in  
stores or by calling customer service or through

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 resi-  
dues which will remain in the system from the  
manufacturing process. Note: Allow the grinder  
to grind free of beans for this process.  
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.  
1. Fill the Water Reservoir  
When using a paper filter, be sure that the filter  
is completely open while touching the side walls  
and bottom of the basket.  
Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired  
amount of water in the reservoir using the  
water level window indicator. Close the res-  
ervoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the  
12-cup line. Doing so may cause the carafe  
to overflow.  
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 bas-  
ket 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.  
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 suffi-  
cient amount of beans in your hopper for  
the amount of coffee you intend to brew  
(maximum capacity is ½ lb. Do not over-  
pack the hopper. Over-packing the hopper  
may result in jamming the grinder.)  
5. Brewing  
A. Immediate Grinding and Brewing  
1. Turn the Grind Control Knob to select the  
number of cups you want to brew. The  
coffeemaker will grind the corresponding  
amount of beans. The unit will automatical-  
ly adjust for low cup settings.  
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.  
2. Press the Strength Control button to set  
coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG  
will show on the LCD display.  
3. Press the On button. The indicator will light

2. Press the On button. The indicator will  
light and the process will begin.  
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to  
remove the carafe from the heating plate  
during mid-brew. The brewing process  
does not stop during this period; only the  
flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do  
not remove the carafe for longer than 20  
seconds or the coffee may overflow the  
basket. While we offer this feature, we do  
not recommend that you pour coffee before  
the cycle has reached completion, since the  
coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle  
has a flavor profile which is very different  
from the coffee made at the end of the  
cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing  
cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.  
B. Programmed Brewing  
Press the Program button. The indicator  
will light and the display will show the  
programmed time for as long as the but-  
ton is depressed. The display reverts

function is activated, an amber LED will  
be illuminated.  
2. The coffeemaker will begin brewing at the  
programmed time.  
When the brewing cycle is completed, five  
beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to  
stream from the filter for several seconds.  
CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
MAKING COFFEE WITH  
PRE-GROUND BEANS  
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS  
AFTER EVERY USE.  
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 resi-  
dues that remain in the system from the manu-  
facturing process.  
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the  
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
After every use, open filter basket door by  
pressing filter basket door release button.

gold tone filter or paper filter. Discard ground  
coffee and paper filter.  
1. Fill the Water Reservoir  
The filter, filter basket and filter basket cover can  
be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed  
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the  
dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.  
Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired  
amount of water in the reservoir using the  
water level window indicator. Close the res-  
ervoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12-cup  
line. Doing so may cause the carafe to  
overflow.  
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.  
2. Add Coffee Grounds  
a. Open filter door. Add ground coffee to  
our permanent or #4 paper filter. Our  
recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop  
of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the  
amount according to your individual  
taste.  
We suggest cleaning the hopper and coffee  
chute every 1-2 weeks depending on frequency  
of use.  
To clean the hopper, remove hopper container  
and lid by turning the hopper container release  
knob to the unlocked position. Discard any left-  
over coffee beans.  
b. Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter  
door.  
The hopper container and hopper container lid  
can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed  
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the  
dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground cof-  
fee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or  
permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may  
cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.  
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.

DECALCIFICATION  
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium  
deposits which form over time on the metal  
parts of the coffeemaker.  
For best performance from your coffeemaker,  
decalcify the base unit from time to time. The  
frequency depends upon the hardness of your  
tap water and how often you use the  
coffeemaker.  
NOTE: Failing to properly clean the coffee chute  
may lead to grind accumulations which can  
result in weak-tasting coffee.

WarrantY  
This warranty expressly excludes any defects or  
damages caused by accessories, replacement  
parts, or repair service other than those that have  
been authorized by Cuisinart.  
LImIted tHree-Year  
WarrantY  
This warranty does not cover any damage caused  
by accident, misuse, shipment or other ordinary  
household use.  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You  
are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Fully  
Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ 12-Cup  
Coffeemaker that was purchased at retail for  
personal, family or household use. Except as  
otherwise required under applicable law, this  
warranty is not available to retailers or other  
commercial purchasers or owners.  
This warranty excludes all incidental or  
consequential damages. Some states do not allow  
the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so  
they may not apply to you.  
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:  
We warrant that your Cuisinart® Fully Automatic  
Burr Grind & Brew™ 12-Cup Coffeemaker will be  
free of defects in materials and workmanship under  
normal home use for 3 years from the date of  
original purchase.  
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,  
California residents have the option of returning a  
nonconforming product (A) to the store where it  
was purchased or (B) to another retail store which  
sells Cuisinart products of the same type.  
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed  
product registration card promptly to facilitate  
verification of the date of original purchase.  
However, return of the product registration card  
does not eliminate the need for the consumer to  
maintain the original proof of purchase in order to  
obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you  
do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase  
date for purposes of this warranty will be the date  
of manufacture.  
If your Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind &  
Brew™ 12-Cup Coffeemaker should prove to be  
defective within the warranty period, we will repair  
it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain  
warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-  
800-726-0190 for additional information from our  
Customer Service Representatives, or send the  
defective product to Customer Service at Cuisinart,  
150 Milford Road, East Windsor, NJ 08520.  
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either  
repair the product, refer the consumer to an  
independent repair facility, replace the product, or  
refund the purchase price less the amount directly  
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the  
product. If the above two options do not result in  
the appropriate relief to the consumer, the  
consumer may then take the product to an  
independent repair facility if service or repair can  
be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not  
the consumer will be responsible for the  
reasonable cost of such service, repair,  
replacement, or refund for nonconforming products  
under warranty.  
California residents may also, according to their  
preference, return nonconforming products directly  
to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary, replacement,  
by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at  
1-800-726-0190.  
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return,  
please enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of  
the product.  
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the  
repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for  
such products under warranty.  
Please pay by check or money order (California  
residents need only supply proof of purchase and  
should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping  
instructions).
