WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire
or electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance. The extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the
longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
NOTICE
If you have a
diecast metal unit,
for your protection,
it is equipped with
a 3-conductor cord
set that has
a molded 3-prong
grounding-type
plug, and should
be used in combi-
nation with a prop-
erly connected
grounding-type
outlet as shown
in Figure A.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an
adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained
so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with
a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the
adapter must be grounded by attaching its
grounding lug under the screw of the outlet
cover plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding
prong.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must
be determined that the outlet cover plate
screw is properly grounded. If in doubt,
consult a licensed electrician. Never use
an adapter unless you are sure it is
properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in
Canada.

Element 1:
WATER
Any hot beverage is made up primarily of water.
Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as
important as the quality of the coffee, tea or cocoa.
A good rule of thumb is that if your water doesn’t
taste good from the tap, it won’t taste any better
in your beverage. That’s why the Cuisinart®Single
Serve Brewing System has added a charcoal water
filter that removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors,
for the purest cup every time.
Element 2:
COFFEE
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor
should be from the coffee, tea or cocoa. To achieve
the same great quality you receive at coffee bars,
you need to use the same quality ingredients. By
using the K-Cup
®
, brought to you by some of the
most premium brands on the market, you can be
assured that you’re getting the finest, freshest
gourmet product with every cup you brew. If you
choose to use your own coffee in the included
My K-Cup
®
, make sure all your ingredients are
at their freshest.
Element 3:
GRIND
The grind of coffee and cocoa, or the refinement of
your tea leaves, is critical for proper flavor extraction.
With the pre-measured, pre-ground ingredients
found in every K-Cup
®
, you can rest easy knowing
that it’ll brew perfectly each and every time, locking
in maximum flavor and freshness.
Element 4:
PROPORTION
No matter which cup size you choose, the Cuisinart
®
Single Serve Brewing System, working in conjunction
with K-Cup
®
, always produces the perfect cup every
time. When grinding your own coffee and using it
in the included My K-Cup
®
, remember to add the
amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the
number of ounces being brewed.
