INTRODUCTION

Cuisinart introduces refro styling and the

latest high tech features in acoffeemaker

that will be the centerpiece of any kitchen.

The Cutsinart_Brew Central" Coffeemaker

is reminiscent of the days of classic styling

and durable materials. Abrushed stainless

steel exterior with retro style controls houses

the finest coffeemaking technology. This

coffeemaker even includes acharcoal water

filter.The water filter ensures great tasting

coffee by removing all of the impudbes from

the water. The Brew Central" Coffeemaker

also comes with advanced features such as a

programmable digital clock with 24-hour

advanced-brew setting, an automatic shutoff,

serf-cleaning function, and an audible beep

that signals the end of the brew cycle, which

makes brewing the best tasting coffee easy.

THE QUEST FOR

THE PERFECT CUP

OF COFFEE

It is generally agreed that there are four basic

elements critical to the perfect cup;

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, itwon't taste any better in your coffee.

That's why Cuisinart has added a water filter to

the Brew Central" Coffeemaker. The charcoal

water filter removes chlodne, calcium, bad

tastes and odors, for the purest cup of coffee

every time.

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.

if you choose to grind your own beans, buy the

beans fresh and whole, only about a two week

supply at atime for maximum freshness. Once

the coffee bean is broken, its flavor degrades

very quickly. If it is not practical to buy small

supplies, we recommend you separate larger

amounts of beans into one to two week

portionsimmediately after purohasing and

freeze them in airtight containers. The best

way to maximize freshness is to minimize

exposure to air, light and moisture. So, once

removed from the freezer, maintain the beans

in a sealed container at room temperature,

since damaging condensation occurs every

time the beans are removed from the freezer

or refdgerator. Note that some coffee experts

advise against freezing dark-roast beans

because this can cause the oilsto coagulate,

while other experts disagree. We suggest you

experiment and decide for yourself.

Element 3: Grind

The grind is critical in proper flavor extraction.

If the gned is too fine, overextraction and

bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also

clog your filter. If gdnd is too coarse, the water

will pass through too quickly and the desired

flavors will not be extracted. We recommend

a medium-fine gdnd.

Element 4: Proportion

The cups on the Cutsinari coffeemaker are

5 ounces. Add the amount of ground coffee

that corresponds to the number of cups being

brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty

Coffee Association of America recommend

adding 2rounded tablespoons of coffee per

6 ounces of watan Some coffee manufacturers

recommend using one tablespoon per cup.

We recommend using 1tablespoon of ground

coffee per cup, but use more or less to suit

your taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground

coffee is 15 tablespoons for this 12 cup

coffeemaker. Exceeding these amounts

may cause overflow if the coffee is too

finely ground.

any other setUng to begin time, or simply wait

until the numerals stop blinking.

a. "Hour" Button: To change the hour,

press the "Hour" pushbutton. Pressing and

holding the pushbetton will cause hours to

increase more rapidly. Pulse the pushbutton

to increase hour more slowly. When

the number count passes 12, the PM light

activates and will be displayed on the LCD.

After setting the time, the default hour is the

last time set unless power is lost.

b. "Minute" Button: To change the minute,

press the "Minute" pushbutton. Pressing

and holding the pushbutton will cause

minutes to increase more rapidly. Pulse the

pushbutton to increase minutes more slow-

ly. After setting the time, the default minute

is the last time set, unless power is lost.

Note: As you scroll, the numbers will

advance slowly at first and then speed up

to the rate of about three per second. When

the number displayed approaches the

desired setting, release the button and

press repeatedly to advance one digit at

a time.

3. To program the Auto On: Turn the function

knob to "Program" to set the desired time

to engage the Auto On. Change the auto

on time in the program setting using the

minute and hour pushbuttons, as you would

to set the time of day. Then tum the function

knob to "AutoOn'. The LCD will display the

current time. Lift and release the flip switch.

The green light comes on to signal that the

programming function is in use, and the

brewing cycle will begin at the programmed

time. At the programmed time, the red light

will come on with the green light, indicating

that the brewing cycle is starting. Both lights

will go off after keep warm cycle.

To turn off: Depress the flip switch down

and release.

Note: To activate the auto-on feature again

for brewing the next day, you must lift and

release the flip switch; the green auto-on

light will tam on.

4. To program the Variable Auto Off:

Turn the function knob to the "Auto Off"

position.Press and hold the "Hour" button

for two seconds, untilthe clock display starts

blinking. To change the hour and minutes, use

the pushbettons as you would to set the time

of day. The Auto Off time can be set from

zero to four hours.

5. Decalcification:

Decalcification refers to removing calcium

deposits which form on the metal parts of the

coffeemaker over time.

For best performance from your Brew

Central TM 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. The flashing

Self Clean light will indicate when you should

clean your coffeemaknr.

Self Cleaning

If the Self Clean light begins to flash when

the coffeemaker is tamed on, it is telling you

that the calcium buildup is interfering with the

functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor

of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir

to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar

and 2/3 water. Press the Self Clean button.

When the self clean light glows, turn the

coffeemaker on by pressing the ON button.

The self clean light will shine steadily. The

coffeemaker is now in Self Clean mode. One

cycle should be sufficientto adequately clean

the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed

and the five beeps sound, the coffeemaker will

shut off. Turn the coffeemaker ON to see if the

Self Clean light continues to flash. If it does,

turn itto OFF and then repeat the cleaning

procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar

and water.

If the Self Clean light no longer flashes, turn

the cofteemaker to OFF and then run one

cycle of fresh cold water through the unit

before using the unit again to brew coffee.

NotesontheSelfCleanFunction

PressingtheSelfCleanbuttoncancelsall

othersettings.Ifit is pressed accidentally,

press it again to retum the coffeemaker to all

its previous settings. Pressing ON/OFF will

also exit the Self Clean Mode and tam the

coffeemaker OFF.

6. 1-4 Cup Setting:

The 1-4 cup setting button is used when

you make small amounts of coffee. Normal

coffeemakers will produce a colder batch of

coffee when smaller amounts are made,

because the heater doesn't have enough time

to propedy 'warm up' to heat a small amount.

The 1-4 setting basically 'double heats' the

water, making your smaller amount as piping

hot as a full pot would be.

To use: When making a smaller amount, press

the 1-4 button on the control panel after

fuming on the unit.

7. Heater Plate 'Keep Warm' Control:

The knob on the right of the control panel

is the heater plate control setting for after

brewing temperature. You can choose one of

three heat seltings to keep your coffee warm:

low, medium, or high.

MAKING COFFEE

Before you make the first pot of coffee

in your new Cuisinart_Brew Central"

Coffeemaker, we recommend operating

the coffeemaker once using only water and

a filter paper. This will remove any dust or

residues that remain in the system f_om the

manufacturing process.

1. Insert the Water Filter

a. Remove the filter from polybag and soak

in cold tap water for 15 minutes.

b. Remove the water filter holder from the

coffeemaker by liftingit out of the reser-

voir area with your thumb and forefinger.

c. Hold the water filter holder lengthwise

and place thumbs in slots directly

under arrows.

d. Pull open in opposite directions

with thumbs.

e. Place the filter in the holder recess area

at the bottom of the water filter holder.

NOTE: It will only fit correctly in one end

of this unit.

fi Close the water filter holder;,you will hear

a snap indicating it is in place.

g. Hold the filter under cold running tap

water for 10 seconds to flush. You should

place the hole openings in the side of the

unit directly under the water stream.

h. Allow the filter to drain completely.

i. Replace the water filter holder in the

reservoir area of the coffeemaker, pushing

it all the way down to the base of the uniL

2. Changing the Water Filter

a. Remove the new filter from polybag and

soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.

b. Remove the water filter holder from the

coffeemaker by I_.ing itout of the reservoir

area with your thumb and forefinger.

c. Hold the water filter holder lengthwise

and place thumbs in slots directly

under arrows.

d. Pull open in opposite directions

with thumbs.

e. Remove the old filter from the holder

and discard.

f. Place the new filter in the holder recess

area at the bottom of the water filter

holder. NOTE: Filter will only fit correctly

in one end of this unit.

g. Close the water filter holder;,you will hear

asnap indicating it is in place.

h. Hold the filter under cold running tap

water for 10 seconds to flush. You should

place the hole openings in the side of the

unit directly under the water stream.

i. Allow the filter to drain completely.

j. Replace the water filter holder in the

reservoir area of the coffeemaker, pushing

it all the way down to the base of the uniL

Note: We recommend changing the water filter

every 60 days or 60 uses, more often if you

have hard water.

Replacement water filters can be purchased in

stores by calling customer service or through

the Cuisinart web site.

NOTE: Caution must be used when inserting

the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the

holder can cause tearing of the filter skin.

3. Add the ground coffee:

Remove the filter basket by grasping the

handle and liftingstraight up, and then place

it on the countertop. Insert a #4 paper filter

or permanent filter. Be sure that the paper

filter is completely open and fully inserted

inthe basket. It may help to fold and flatten

the seams of a paper filter beforehand.

Add the desired amount of ground coffee,

corresponding to the number of cups being

brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty

Coffee Association of America recommend

adding 2 rounded tablespoons of coffee

per 6 ounces of water. Some coffee

manufacturers recommend using one

tablespoon per cup. We recommend using 1

tablespoon of ground coffee per cup, but

use more or less to suit your taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for

ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for this

12 cup coffeemaker. Exceeding these

amounts may cause overflow if the

coffee is too finely ground,

Replace the filter basket in the filter basket

holder and flip the water reservoir lid

closed. Be sure that it closes securely in

place.

Before brewing coffee:

Make sure you have replaced the glass carafe

in itspositionon the hea6ng plate and dosed the

topcover. Plug the cord into an electricaloutlet.

4. Power unit:

Turn the function knob to brew, lift flip

switch up to "On" position, and the red

indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto

On function and the green indicator will light.

5. Fill the Water Reservoir:

When filling the coffeemaker withwater,

refer to the carafe height markings and fillto

the desired number of cups. Be sure to add

a small amount of extra water to account for

the amount of water lost in wetting the

grounds and lost as steam dudng the

brewing process.

6. During and after brewing:

The Brew Pause TM feature allows you to

remove the carafe from the plate during

mid-brew. The brewing process does not

stop during this period - only the flow of cof-

fee from the basket stops. Do not remove

the carafe for longer than 30

seconds or the coffee may overflow the bas-

ket. While we offer this feature, we

do not recommend that you pour the

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 flavor

at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup

during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor

of the finished pot.

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir

it before serving to blend the flavors. The

coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be

somewhat stronger than the coffee at

the top.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the

plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and

discard the paper filter and ground coffee.

The filter basket can be washed in warm,

soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned

in 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.

Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and

lidcan be washed inwarm, soapy water and

rinsedthoroughly, or placed in adishwasher.

The carafe and carafe lid should be placed

on the upper rack only.
