IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
coffee
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons,
including the following:
•
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE COFFEEMAKER.
• Do not touch the coffeemaker’s hot surfaces.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the power cord,
power plug or coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
• Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by
or near children.
• Turn the coffeemaker off and unplug the power cord from the power
source when the coffeemaker or clock are not in use and before cleaning.
Allow the coffeemaker parts to cool before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or operate
it after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return this appliance only to the nearest authorized service center for
examination, repair or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments other than MR. COFFEE®brand may cause
hazards or injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter
or allow it to come in contact with hot surfaces.
• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or
in a heated oven.
Decanter Use and Care
Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking the decanter:
–
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 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 cleansers, steel wool pads or
other abrasive materials.
– Discard the decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.
– Protect the decanter from sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove
any service covers. There are no user serviceable parts
inside the coffeemaker. Only authorized personnel
should repair the coffeemaker.
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
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.
(one blade is wider than the other)
.
• To disconnect, turn the coffeemaker OFF, then remove the power plug
from wall outlet.
• Do not use the coffeemaker for other reasons than its intended use.
• Place the coffeemaker on a hard, flat level surface to avoid interruption
of air flow underneath the appliance.

water, not the decanter marks. The decanter
marks measure brewed coffee only.

lift out the removable filter basket.
2) Place a MR. COFFEE®brand 8-12 cup
paper filter or a MR. COFFEE®permanent
gold-tone filter in the filter basket.

to the filter. Gently shake the filter basket
to level the ground coffee.

6) Place the decanter on the warming plate.
Make sure the decanter is accurately
centered on the warming plate or the water
and grounds will overflow from the brew
basket. An overflow may cause personal
injury or damage to property.
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.
Do not brew coffee while the brew basket
lid is open.

is complete.
While the coffee is brewing, the Pause ‘n
Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup
of coffee from the decanter. REPLACE THE
DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN
30 SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND
POSSIBLE INJURY.
To turn Off the coffeemaker, press the ON/OFF
switch to Off.
If the brew basket overflows or fails
to empty into the decanter, do not
open the brew basket. Unplug the
coffeemaker and wait for the contents
to cool before handling.
For Models ARX10, ARX11, ARX20 and ARX23 only:
Slide the switch to On. Press the
brew button when ready to start brewing.

the coffeemaker to begin brewing your coffee.
1) While the switch is in the Off position,
press and hold the BREW button.
2) While still pressing and holding the brew button,
press and hold the HOUR button until the clock
displays the hour you desire. The PM indicator
will light to indicate a PM time; if the PM

press and hold the MIN. button until the clock
displays the correct minute.
