Cleaning the Coffeemaker Before First Use

Follow the steps below under “Adding Water and Ground Coffee” and “Brewing Coffee Now,” but do not add coffee grounds.

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee

For best results, use coffee ground for use with automatic drip coffeemakers. The amounts shown below are suggested amounts.

Number of Cups Tablespoons

12 9

10 7.5

64.5

21.5

One cup = Five ounces brewed coffee

Adding Water and Ground Coffee

1) Swing open the filter basket and, if desired, lift out the removable filter insert.

2) Place a MR. COFFEE filter or a MR. COFFEE in the filter basket.

If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush against the sides of the filter basket. If filter collapse occurs, for best results, dampen the filter before placing it in the brew basket and adding ground coffee.

3) Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. Gently shake the filter insert to level the ground coffee.

4) Be certain that the filter is centered in the brew basket. Close the brew basket.

5) Open hinged lid, remove water reservoir and add the appropriate amount of water. Place removable water reservoir at the top of the unit and flush against it. Push down until the reservoir is firmly placed into the base of the coffeemaker.

Note: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount of water placed into the coffeemaker. Since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups desired or you can remove the water reservoir from the coffeemaker to fill with cool water.
