[. . . ] We know the Cuisinart® Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker will bring you years of pleasure. Nothing is more satisfying than a rich cup of your favorite brew.

Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing. After coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open filter basket and discard used coffee filter and grounds. To remove filter basket from coffeemaker (A) grasp basket handle and swing basket outward, and (B) with basket in far right position, lift up and pull basket hinge. Brew-Through lid allows coffee to be poured with lid in "CLOSED" position, so coffee freshness and temperature can be preserved. NEVER POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS IN "CLOSED" POSITION. MAKING COFFEE 1. Markings on water level indicator show amount of water needed to make desired number of cups of coffee. Before thermal carafe is returned to platform, prewarm carafe by running warm water through it. To close lid, turn it in direction of "CLOSE" arrow until it fits tightly on carafe, and "POUR" arrow is aligned with spout. Be certain thermal carafe lid is in "CLOSED" position and is securely in place during brew cycle. Insert a filter into filter basket; make sure filter fits snugly in basket. After placing 2 level tablespoons per cup of ground coffee into cone filter, return basket to closed position. With thermal carafe and basket securely in place, press "ON" button; LED will light. CAUTION: Coffeemaker becomes very hot during brew cycle; handle with extreme care, as hot parts and escaping steam may cause burns. The Brew-Through lid allows coffee to drip from coffeemaker through closed lid. When coffee has completely stopped dripping into thermal carafe and water level indicator is empty, brew cycle is complete. When dripping stops, Brew-Through lid will seal so coffee freshness and temperature are preserved. BREW PAUSETM This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before the brew cycle has finished. Carefully remove thermal carafe, and the Brew PauseTM feature will automatically activate, temporarily stopping flow of coffee into thermal carafe.

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 which sells Cuisinart® products of the same type. The retail store shall then, at its option, 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 either of the above two options does not result 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. [. . . ]
