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:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
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.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
To protect against electric shock, do not place a cord, plug, or base unit in water or other liquids.
This appliance should not be used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
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.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Always fill the water reservoir first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, push the BREW/OFF button, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
Snap the lid securely onto the carafe before serving any beverages.
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycle.
The thermal carafe is designed for use with these appliances only. It must never be used on the range top.
Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe that has a loose or weakened handle.
Do not clean the carafe or resting plate with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
Do not place a cloth beneath the coffee brewer or otherwise restrict airflow.
Use only the Cuisinart® Laser-Etched Stainless Steel Filter, gold-tone filter, or standard #4 cone paper filters with this unit. OTHER PERMANENT FILTERS MAY CAUSE THE COFFEE BREWER TO OVERFLOW.
Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
The container is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

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.

Caution: Never open the filter basket during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the filter basket, because 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.

BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

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 the 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 Consumer Service, or at www.cuisinart.com

PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEE BREWER

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 1noon stops flashing, simply press the MENU button 3 times to the CLOCK option, and the time will return to flashing in Clock Set mode.

MAKING COFFEE

Follow instructions in BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE (page 8).

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.
Add the ground coffee.
Insert a #4 paper filter, the stainless steel etched filter, or a gold-tone 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.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 11 tablespoons for this coffee brewer. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

Blooming

After coffee grounds are evenly showered with water heated to the ideal brewing temperature, the unit pauses to let the flavor bloom before proceeding with the brewing process.

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 resting plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only.

Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee brewer. Never immerse the base unit in water or other liquids. To clean the base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe the resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

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 affect 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 Thermal Coffee Brewer, we recommend cleaning it whenever CLEAN is flashing on your control panel.

NOTE: Before decalcifying your unit, remove the charcoal water filter from the water reservoir.

To clean

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

This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® PurePrecision Pour-Over Thermal Coffee Brewer 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.

If you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

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 that sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, 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 neither of the above two options results 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. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling of such nonconforming products under warranty.

This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages.
