breaks and treats during your hectic daily activities. How you enjoy your MR. COFFEE
®
Coffeemaker is up to you!
DECAN TER 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.
• Discard the decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.
• Protect the decanter from sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.
• Do not disassemble the thermal carafe.
• Do not place the thermal carafe in the dishwasher.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTION S
1. For your convenience the plug is stored inside the cord storage.
2. 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.
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). 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.
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. Lock the cord in the
slot when finished.

PREPARING FOR USE

Suggested Coffee M ea surement Chart
To Brew Ground Coffee
12 Cups 9 tbsp.
10 Cups 7.5 tbsp.
8 Cups 6.5 tbsp.
6 Cups 4.5 tbsp.
4 Cups 3 tbsp.
1 level tablespoon (tbps) = 5 gr./ 0.17 oz.
1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
Wa ter Filtra tion System (N ot included. Ava ilable at your fa vorite reta iler or
on m rcoffee.com)
Your coffeemaker has been designed to use the MR. COFFEE® water filtration system. This carbonbased water filter improves the taste of your coffee by removing up to 9 7% 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 1-800-67 2-6333.
To use the water filtration system in your MR. COFFEE®
Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:
1. Using the red indicator on the frame water filter, align
the indicator to the letter on the frame 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).
2. Place the MR.COFFEE® paper or permanent filter in
the filter basket. Place coffee grounds in the paper or
permanent filter.
N O TE: For optimum results, use the water filtration
system with a permanent filter.
3. Place the MR. CO FFEE® water filter in the filter basket,
making sure that the side marked “ this side up” faces
you and that the water filter is level.
4. Close the filter basket lid. You are now ready to brew a great
tasting coffee.
5. W hen you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water
filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the
dishwasher.
To repla ce the w ater 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 W a ter a nd Ground Coffee
1. Lift and open the filter basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift out the removable filter
basket.
2. Place a M R. CO FFEE® brand 1 0-12 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. CO FFEE® permanent
filter into the removable filter basket. (Figure 2 )
N O TE: If using paper filters, 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 Mea surem ent Chart.
4. If using the Mr. Coffee® W ater Filtration System: after following
instructions in the W ater Filtration System section, place the Mr.
Coffee® water filter in the filter 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 all the way 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 on the dual water windows
show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill
past the “ MAX line” or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir.
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. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the
warming plate.
N O TE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the
grounds will overflow from the filter basket. A n 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.
