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.
• Do not set a hot decanter on a wet or cold surface.
• Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter having a loose or weakened handle.
• Do not clean the decanter with abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

1.  For your convenience, the plug is stored inside the cord storage.
2. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of a person or pet entering or tripping over a longer cord.
3. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
4. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
5. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way to reduce the risk of electric shock. 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.

• Additional Programmable Control Features (programmable models only)
  • Clock – The LED clock serves as a handy kitchen clock and allows you to set the Delay Brew feature.

  • Two-Hour Auto Shut-Off – Keeps your coffee warm for 2 hours after you brew, then automatically turns off (on programmable models). Thermal models shut off immediately after the brewing cycle is completed.

NOTE: If you have selected any of the operating functions, the coffeemaker will act upon the last operation selected if the power is restored within 10 seconds after a power outage.

CLEAN YOUR COFFEEMAKER BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME

Make sure your first cup of coffee is as good as can be by cleaning your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker
before its first use. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the decanter, decanter lid, and filter basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly (please refer to the parts diagram listed above).
2. Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle with water only, without adding coffee and a coffee filter.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off, discard the water in the decanter, and rinse the decanter, decanter lid, and filter basket.

Your coffeemaker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

PREPARING FOR USE

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee:

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart:

Water Filtration System: (Not Included. Available at your favorite retailer or visit the website www.mrcoffee.com)

Your coffeemaker has been designed to use the 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 1-800-672-6333.

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). (Figure 2).
2. Rinse the water filter in freshwater before first use.
3. Follow the “Adding Water and Ground Coffee” Instructions in the next section.
4. When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.

To replace the water filter disks:

twist the gray disk cover from your water filtration system. Remove the used disk. Insert the new disk into the frame and twist the cover back into place.

Adding Water and Ground Coffee:

1. Lift and open the filter basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift out the removable filter basket.
2. Place an MR. COFFEE® brand 10-12 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the removable filter basket. (Figure 3).
3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See the “Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart”.
4. If using the MR. COFFEE® Water Filtration System, after following the instructions in the Water Filtration System section, 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 down in the filter basket.
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 the dual water windows show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups.
7. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the decanter to cool before using.

BREWING COFFEE LATER

For Programmable Models Only (Delay Brew)

1. You must first set the time when you would like the coffeemaker to begin brewing your coffee as described in the “Setting the Clock and the Delay Brew Timer” section.
2. Prepare your coffeemaker as described in the “Adding Water and Ground Coffee” section.
3. To activate DELAY BREW and program your coffeemaker to brew coffee at a later time, press the Delay Brew button. The DELAY indicator light will illuminate. The coffeemaker is now set to automatically brew coffee at the pre-set later time.
4. At the pre-set time the green indicator light will turn on and the DELAY light will turn off, indicating the brewing has started.
5. The coffeemaker warming plate will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours and then will automatically turn off. Thermal units will shut off immediately after the brewing cycle is complete.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING

Daily Cleaning:

Always unplug the coffeemaker and allow it 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.
