DECANTER USE AND CARE
Breakage may occur if the following instructions are not followed:
Use only decanters specifically designed for MR. COFFEE® Coffeemakers.
–This decanter is designed for use with your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker and therefore must never be used on a rangetop or in any oven, INCLUDING A MICROWAVE.

–Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter with a loose or weakened handle.
–Do not clean the decanter with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.
–Discard decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
1.A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2.An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3.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 the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
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.

SETTING UP YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Congratulations on the purchase of your new MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker! Please read these instructions carefully before using your new coffeemaker. Proper use, care and maintenance will ensure trouble-free operation and the long life of this appliance. Save these instructions for cleaning and, if necessary, replacement parts information.
OPERATION AND USE
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your coffeemaker for the first time, wash decanter/lid and removable filter basket using a mild, non-abrasive detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly. Follow Steps 3 – 5 (Brewing Coffee) using water, to clean the inside.
BREWING COFFEE
1.Lift the lid for filter basket and water reservoir access. Insert a MR. COFFEE® 4-Cup paper or permanent filter into the removable filter basket.
2.Add desired amount of coffee, referring to the Coffee Measurement Chart. (See Page 7) Shake lightly to level coffee. Be sure the filter is centered.
3.Fill the decanter with cold water to desired capacity as marked on the side of the decanter (1 cup = 5 oz). To brew 4 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the 4-cup line.
4.Pour the water into the water reservoir. NOTE: For easy and accurate filling, refer to cup markings on the water windows. Place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.
5.Plug the cord into the electrical outlet and turn your coffeemaker switch to the “ON” position. When the coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete. NOTE: The warming plate will keep your coffee piping hot until you turn your coffeemaker off.
6.After contents have cooled, carefully remove the filter basket and discard the used grounds and paper filter or rinse clean the permanent filter.
Rinse the removable filter basket and replace.
7.To make another pot of coffee, repeat Steps 1 – 6.
8.Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when the decanter is empty and you are no longer using your coffeemaker. Please unplug the power cord when not in use.
WARNING: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result of overflow, be sure the decanter is squarely centered under the filter basket during the brewing cycle. Brewed coffee and grounds, both in filter basket and decanter, are very hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding. If filter basket overflows, or if filter basket fails to drain into decanter during brew cycle, do not open or handle basket. Unplug coffeemaker and wait for contents to cool before handling.

BREWING PAUSE ‘N SERVE
Our Brewing Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup of coffee while the coffeemaker is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the filter basket from dripping onto the warming plate once the brew cycle is complete.
WARNING: To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter within 30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the decanter is not 
replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket will fill with water and overflow.
CLEANING
Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives a suggested cleaning schedule.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL
Type of Water |
Cleaning Frequency |
Soft Water |
Every 80 Brew Cycles |
Hard Water |
Every 40 Brew Cycles |
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned 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).
