User manual CUISINART DGB-550BK

[. . . ] 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 appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause injuries. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surface. [. . . ] You are now in the "Time Set" mode and can operate either button to achieve the desired setting. The buttons can be held down to scroll through the digits, or pressed and released lightly to advance one digit at a time. When scrolling, 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. Be careful to make sure that the PM indicator is on if a PM time is desired. Exiting "Time Set" Mode: Exiting "Set Program Time" Mode: "Set Program Time" may be exited in any of three ways: 1. Press any other button (except "Hours" or "Minutes"). "Set Program Time" will be exited and the function of that button will be executed. If neither the "Hours" nor "Minutes" button is pressed for a period of five seconds, the "Set Program Time" mode will be exited and the programmed setting will be in effect. The "Time Set" mode can be exited in one of two ways: 1. Press any button besides the "Hours" or "Minutes" button. This will exit the "Time Set" and activate the selected function. If neither the "Hours" nor "Minutes" button is pressed for a period of five seconds, the "Time Set" mode will be exited. PROGRAMMING AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF TIME The Automatic Shutoff Time can be programmed anywhere from immediate shutoff after completion of the brew cycle up to four hours. Please note that the heater plate on the coffeemaker is not powerful enough to raise the temperature of the coffee in the pot, once coffee has been brewed. This feature is designed as a "preset" and will affect the coffee during the brewing cycle. If the coffee is too hot, the temperature can be lowered, but since we do not recommend leaving the coffee on direct heat for more than twenty minutes, 11 TURNING OFF GRIND FUNCTION To turn off the grinding function, press the "Grind Off" button. Add Beans/Filter Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess on either side. Note: When using a permanent filter, be sure that the filter handle is facing away from the grinder basket. If you do not do so, the handle may interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter basket. Also note: a permanent filter may allow some ground coffee to flow into carafe. The filter holder will help to keep the filter open, but when using a paper filter, be sure that the filter is completely open and fully inserted into the basket. To make a full pot of coffee (10 cups), fill the grinder basket to the top. To make fewer than 10 cups of coffee, we suggest that you use about 1 tablespoon of whole beans per cup. To prevent coffee grounds from escaping the grinding chamber, make sure reservoir lid is locked. [. . . ] To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. 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 it OFF and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. [. . . ]
