seconds. NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening.
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 carafe for more than 20 seconds during brew cycle may cause filter basket to overflow.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the Brew Head 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 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 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 coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To clean 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 heating 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 coffeemaker. The mineral content of the
tap water in your area and the frequency of use affects the rate of the calcium buildup, which can affect the functioning of your coffeemaker and
the flavor of your coffee.
For best performance from your PerfecTemp® coffeemaker, we recommend cleaning it whenever the CLEAN LED indicator lights up.
NOTE: Before decalcifying your unit, remove the charcoal water filter from the water reservoir.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water.
2. Press and hold the CLEAN button. When the CLEAN LED indicator flashes, the coffeemaker is in Clean mode. Release the button.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will sound and the coffeemaker will shut off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once more, repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. NOTE: One
cleaning cycle is usually sufficient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator 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 coffeemaker is ready to brew!
WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year Warranty
( U.S. AND CANADA ONLY)
This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® 12-Cup Programmable 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. We warrant that your Cuisinart® 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker will be free of defects
in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product
registration 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.
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 800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be
responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART PRODUCT

necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, please call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190 or write to: Cuisinart,
