MAKING COFFEE
Before you make the first pot of coffee in your
new Cuisinart
®
coffeemaker, we recommend
operating the coffeemaker once using only
water and a paper filter. This will remove any
dust or residues that remain in the system from
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 lifting it out 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. Place the filter in the holder recess area
at the bottom of the water filter holder.
