INTRODUCTION

Welcome and congratulations on the purchase of your new MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker. Your new ECX Series coffeemaker will wake up with you in the morning and provide you breaks and treats during your hectic daily activities. How you enjoy your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker is up to you!

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

1.A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from a person or pet 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 a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

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.

5.You can customize the length of the power cord so that it is the exact length you desire. To increase the length of the power cord: grasp the power cord (not the power plug) and gently lift it out of the slot, then pull it away from the coffeemaker. To decrease the length of the power cord: Grasp the power cord (not the power plug), lift it out of the slot and gently feed it into the

COFFEEMAKER FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Your new MR. COFFEE® coffeemaker has the following features:

Brewing Capacity – 12 cups – Glass decanter series. • Removable Filter Basket – The filter basket lifts out for

fast and easy cleaning and filling.

Pause ‘n Serve – Can’t wait for the coffee to finish brewing? The Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup of coffee while the coffeemaker is still brewing. Carefully remove the decanter and the Pause ’n Serve feature will be automatically activated, temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the decanter.

Water Window – Shows amount of water in the reservoir for accurate filling.

Non-Stick Warming Plate – This feature allows you to keep your coffee hot after brewing. The non-stick attribute prevents the decanter from sticking to the surface of the warming plate.

Brew Strength Selector – Adjusts the brewing time to create a more full-flavored coffee.

Water Filtration System – Great tasting coffee begins with great water! Using the Mr. Coffee® carbon-based water filter in the Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee.

Cord Storage – Safely stores excess cord to keep your countertop neat.

Two-Hour Auto Shut-Off – Keeps your coffee hot for two hours, then automatically shuts off.

Programmable Controls:

Clock – The clock serves as a handy kitchen clock and allows you to set the Delay Brew feature and functions as the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature.

Fresh Brew™ Timer feature – Lets you know how long your coffee has been waiting for you.

8

BVMC-ECX41 _14ESM1.INDD 9-10

Delay Brew – Would you like to wake up to a fresh pot of coffee? The timer allows you to preset when you would like the coffeemaker to automatically begin brewing your coffee, up to 24 hours in advance.

Special Cleaning Cycle – Enables you to easily maintain and clean mineral deposits from your coffeemaker.

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 7 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, permanent filter, water filtration, and the 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 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!

B. Water Filtration System

Congratulations! You are the owner of a MR. COFFEE® water filtration system. Using the Mr. Coffee® carbon-based water filter in the Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the

chlorine from the water and improves the

taste of your coffee.

First, look for the MR. COFFEE Filter 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). To change the disk, remove the used disk, insert new disk into the frame.

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

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

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

Frame

dishwasher.

To replace the water filter disks: slide

Filter Disk

 

the used disk from your water filtration

 

system. To insert the new disk, slide disk

 

 

 

 

into the frame.

C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee

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

2.Place the MR. COFFEE® nylon permanent filter included into the removable filter basket (Figure 4).

NOTE: If using paper filters instead of the nylon permanent filter included, 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 removable 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 = 5 fl. oz./ 148ml) For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the water window 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.

10/04/14 2:41 PM

Figure 5
Figure 6

NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.

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 NOW

1.To enjoy a more full flavored cup of coffee, press the Brew Strength button once. The

STRONG Brew Strength red light will turn on. The coffeemaker will remain in the Brew Strength you have selected until you change it back to REGULAR strength by pressing the

Brew Strength button or until you unplug the machine (Figure 5).

NOTE: Once brewing has started the brew strength cannot be changed during the brew cycle. The coffeemaker automatically defaults to regular strength.

2. Complete the steps in the Adding Water and Coffee section and with the glass decanter and the filter basket securely in place, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the Select/Off button once. The BREW NOW green light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is on and brewing (Figure 6).

3.After brewing is complete an audible ready signal will sound to let you know your coffee is ready.

NOTE: The default is for the audible ready signal to sound after brewing. To turn off the audible ready signal, hold the SET DELAY button for 5 seconds. To turn the audible ready signal back on, hold the SET DELAY button again for 5 second.

14

BVMC-ECX41 _14ESM1.INDD 15-16

4.After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully remove the filter basket and discard them.

NOTE: The brew basket lid is hot after brewing. Always allow the coffeemaker to cool down before cleaning.

5.Prior to making a second pot of coffee, turn the coffeemaker off. This will reset the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature. To turn the coffeemaker off, press the Select/Off button all lights will turn off.

6.Make sure the decanter is empty before starting to brew coffee.

7.Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when no longer using it.

The Fresh Brew™ Timer Feature

The FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature lets you know how long your coffee has been waiting for you. At the start of the brew cycle, the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature will automatically be activated.

Press the FRESH BREW™ TIMER button once (Figure 7) and the clock time will change to

show the amount of time that has passed since Figure 7 brewing completed. Push again to display

current time.

NOTE: The BREW NOW green light must be on for the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature to operate. The time and delay brew time cannot be set when the fresh brew time is displayed.

15

10/04/14 2:41 PM

BREWING COFFEE LATER

Otherwise, it will default to regular strength.

 

4.At the pre-set time, the green BREW NOW light will turn on and the DELAY BREW yellow light will turn off, indicating the brewing has started in the selected brew strength. The FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature will start.

5.The coffeemaker warmer plate will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours and then automatically turn off.

As a safety feature, your coffeemaker will NOT start again automatically the next day. If you want your coffee to brew at the same time the following day, simply add a new filter, coffee and water and set DELAY BREW, by repeating Steps 2 and 3 above.

To cancel DELAY BREW: Press the Select/Off button until all lights turn off (Figure 8).
