BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
Rinsing your coffeemaker: During the
manufacturing process, dust can get trapped
in the unit. 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 8
under MAKING COFFEE. Do not add coffee!
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.
• 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
www.cuisinart.com
