PREPARING FOR USE

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee:

Make sure you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart:

Water Filtration System:

Congratulations! You are the owner of a MR. COFFEE® water filtration system. This carbon-based water filter improves the taste of your coffee by removing up to 97% of the chlorine from the water you may use to brew your coffee.

First, look for the MR. COFFEE® Filtration Friendly symbol on the bottom of your filter basket. If you do not see this symbol, please call 888-800-9130.

To use the water filtration system in your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:

1. Align the red indicator on the frame to the letter that corresponds with the month that you are using the disk for the first time. This serves to remind you to change the disk every month (approx. 30 brewing cycles).

2. Rinse the water filter in fresh water before first use.

NOTE: For optimum results, use the water filtration system with a permanent filter.

3. Follow “Adding Water and Coffee” Instructions

4. When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.

Adding Water and Ground Coffee:

1. Open the brew basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift out the removable filter basket.

2. Place a MR. COFFEE® brand 10- 12 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the removable filter basket.

NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter basket and adding ground coffee and water.

3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See the “Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart”.

4. After following instructions in the Water Filtration System, place the MR. COFFEE® water filter in the basket, making sure that the side marked “this side up” faces you and that the water filter is level.

5. Be sure the filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the brew basket and close the lid.

6. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the dual water windows show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the “12 cup MAX line” or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the coffeemaker. The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.

7. Lift the brew basket lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.

BREWING COFFEE NOW

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

Daily Cleaning:

Always unplug the coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning. Remove the filter basket, permanent filter (not included on all models), decanter and decanter lid and wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap.

Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. Dishwasher top rack safe parts: glass decanter and lid, filter basket and permanent filter. The water filter disk and thermal decanter are not dishwasher safe

Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker

Minerals (calcium) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and will affect it. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits by using MR. COFFEE® Cleaner or vinegar. MR. COFFEE® Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the MR. COFFEE™ Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).

1. Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker Cleaner. Pour the mixture into the water reservoir. If using water filtration disk, remove the water filtration disk from the machine before decalcifing.

NOTE: 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. of undiluted, white household vinegar may be used as a substitute for the cleaner.

2. Place an empty MR. COFFEE® 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter or MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the filter basket and close lid.

3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.

4. Brew three cups of cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.

5. Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes.

6. Run the remainder of the cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.

7. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water.

8. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.

9. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.

10. Remove and discard the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle. If a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket.

11. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.

12. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 one more time. Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee!

Suggested Decalcifying Interval:

Water Filtration Disk Replacement:

Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with running water and clean the coffeemaker before use.

Cleaning the Decanter:

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this stain brown. To remove decanter stains:

1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.

2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may cause the decanter to break.

NOTE: Do not place thermal carafe in the dishwasher.

DECANTER USE AND CARE

Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking the glass decanter:

• This decanter is designed for use with your MR. COFFEE® coffeemaker and therefore must never be used on a range top or in any oven, including a microwave oven.
