Cuisinart BREW CENTRAL THERMAL DCC-2400C User Manual

Note: The maximum capacity for ground

coffee is 15 tablespoons (225 ml) for this

coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may

cause overflow if the coffee is too finely

ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket

holder and flip the water reservoir cover

closed. Press firmly on top cover to be sure

that it closes securely.
Before brewing coffee

Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the

direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm

carafe by rinsing it out with hot water.

PREWARMING THE CARAFE WILL HELP

KEEP THE COFFEE HOTTER.
Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock

the lid, turn in the direction of the “lock”

arrow until it fits tightly on carafe and arrow

lines up in the centre of the pour spout. This

ensures lid is closed and in the proper

position for brewing and pouring.
4. Power unit
Turn the function knob to brew, press the

on/off button, and the red indicator light will

turn on. Or, set the Auto On function and the

green indicator will light.
5. During and after brewing
The Brew Pause

feature allows you to

remove the carafe from the plate during

mid-brew. The brewing process does not

stop during this period – only the flow of

coffee from the basket stops. Do not remove

the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the

coffee may overflow the basket. While we

offer this feature, we do not recommend that

you pour the coffee before the cycle has

reached completion, since the coffee brewed

at the beginning of the cycle has a flavour

profile which is very different from the flavour

at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup

during the brewing cycle will alter the flavour

of the finished pot.
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it

before serving to blend the flavours. The

coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be

somewhat stronger than the coffee at the

top.

When the brewing cycle has been

completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee

will continue to stream from the filter for

several seconds.
After brewing, the unit will automatically shut

itself off. The thermal carafe will keep the

coffee hot for hours.
Bottom of thermal carafe is hot to touch

for several minutes after brewing.

Use caution.
The brew-through, pour-through lid allows

coffee to drip from the coffeemaker through

the closed lid. When brewing is complete,

the lid seals itself so air stays out and coffee

freshness and temperature are preserved.

No need to turn or adjust the lid before

pouring.
