IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, before removing coffee and before
cleaning.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse
cord, plug or grinder in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized
Cuisinart service facility for examination, repair, or mechanical
or electrical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Before using, check hopper for presence of foreign objects.
11. Use this appliance to grind roasted coffee beans only.
Grinding other substances, such as nuts, spices or unroasted
beans, may dull the blade and cause poor grinding or injury.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
14. CAUTION: Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing any appliance in
an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical
outlet. Be sure the appliance does not touch the interior wall
of the appliance garage, and the door does not touch the unit
as it closes. Contact could cause the unit to turn ON, creating
a risk of fire.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove Bean Hopper lid.
2. Fill Bean Hopper to top, making sure that the lid closes
securely. [Max fill is 8 ounces (227 g)].
3. Plug Cord into outlet.
4. Set Grind Selector. Note: Use coarse grind for percolator/
French press, medium grind for automatic drip, and fine grind
for espresso.
5. Position Slide Dial to desired number of cups: 4 - 18. (590 ml
- 2.6 L) Take into account that, based on personal preference,
you can make your coffee stronger or weaker by adjusting
cup selection.
6. Press and release Power Bar to begin grinding.
Please note: A safety feature of the grinder does not allow it
to operate unless the hopper and grind chamber are properly
in place.
7. Grinding will automatically stop upon completion.
8. To manually stop the operation, slide the Slide Dial all the way
to the left to the “OFF” position and the unit will stop. To
restart, repeat steps 5 & 6 above.
9. Remove Grind Chamber, make coffee, and enjoy!
Please note: If the grind chamber is over filled the chute can get
clogged and the unit will not work. To unclog, use the scoop brush
to clear out the chute of excess grounds. Should the grinder stop
at any point, the motor has likely overheated. Wait for your grinder
to cool off (up to 30 minutes) then resume use.

GRINDING TIMES:
Your Cuisinart Supreme GrindTM Automatic Burr Mill is fully
automatic. There are 6 settings per grind type, and the
grind chamber holds enough ground coffee for up to
32 cups (4.7 L). The unit is set for medium grind settings,
which takes approximately 40 seconds to grind coffee for
12 cups (1.8 L), and approximately 55 seconds 18 cups
(2.6 L).
When choosing fine settings, you may need to set the cup
selector at a higher number of cups to get the desired
amount of coffee, as fine grinds are very compact. The
opposite is true for coarse settings. You may need to set
the cup selector at a lower number of cups to get the
desired amount of coffee, as coarse grinds are very loose.
To determine the right grind consistencies and quantities,
experiment with different grinds and coffee types to suit
your taste.
