Water Filtration System (Not included. Available at your favorite retailer or
on mrcoffee.com)

Your coffeemaker has been designed to use the MR. COFFEE@ water filtration system. This carbon-
based water filter improves the taste of your coffee by removing up to 97% of the chlorine from the

water you may use to brew your coffee.

First look for the MR. COFFEE@ Filtration Friendly symbol _',4'_on the bottom of your filter basket. If
you do not see this symbol, please call 1-800-672-6333. v

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 rifler.

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

3. 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 Jevek

4. Close the filter basket lid. You are now ready to brew great
tasting coffee.

5. When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water
filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the

dishwasher.

To replace the water 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.

Place a MR. COFFEE@ brand 10-12 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. COFFEE@ permanent
filter into the removable filter basket. (Figure 2)

NOTE: 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.

Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the
coffee. See the Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart.

instructions in the Water Filtration System section, place the Mr.
Coffee@ water filter in the filter basket, making sure that the side

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 dud 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 lessthan the amount of water poured in the
water reservoir. This isdue 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.

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.

injury,do notadd cold water to the decanterif the decanterisalready hot. Allow the
