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

SETTING UP YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Congratulations on the purchase of your new MR. COFFEE®coffeemaker! Please
read these instructions carefully before using your new coffeemaker. Proper use,
care and maintenance will ensure trouble-free operation and the long life of this
appliance. Save these instructions for cleaning and, if necessary, replacement parts
information.
OPERATION AND USE
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Coffeemaker for the first time, wash decanter/lid and removable
brew basket using a mild, non-abrasive detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
Follow Steps 4 – 6 (Brewing Coffee) using water, to clean the inside.
BREWING COFFEE
1. Open the swing-out brew basket. Insert a MR. COFFEE®#2 Cone Filter into
the removable brew basket.
2. Add desired amount of coffee, referring to the Coffee Measurement Chart.
(See Page 7) Shake lightly to level coffee.
3. Be sure the paper filter is centered before closing the brew basket.
4. Fill the decanter with cold water to desired capacity as marked on the side of
the decanter (1 cup = 5 oz). To brew 4 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the
4-cup level marking on the decanter.
5. Pour the water into the water reservoir.
Note:
For easy and accurate filling, refer
to cup markings inside the reservoir. Place the empty decanter onto the warming
plate.
6. Plug the cord into the electrical outlet and turn your Coffeemaker switch to the
“ON” position. When the coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete.
Note:
The warming plate will keep your coffee piping hot until you turn your
Coffeemaker off.
7. After contents have cooled, carefully remove the one-piece brew basket and
discard the used grounds and filter. Rinse the inner brew basket and replace.
Note:
Remove decanter from the warming plate before opening the brew
basket. This will prevent the drip stop valve from catching on the decanter lid.
8. To make another pot of coffee, repeat Steps 1 – 7.
9.
Be sure to turn your Coffeemaker off when the decanter is empty and you are no
longer using your Coffeemaker. Please unplug the power cord when not in use.
Warning:
To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result
of overflow,
be sure the decanter is squarely centered under
the brew basket during the brewing cycle. Brewed coffee
and grounds, both in brew basket and decanter, are very hot.
Handle with care to avoid scalding. If brew basket overflows,
or if brew basket fails to drain into decanter during brew cycle,
do not open or handle basket. Unplug Coffeemaker and wait for
contents to cool before handling.

MEASUREMENT CHART
When using pre-ground coffee, use level tablespoon (Tbsp.) or level coffee scoops
of drip grind or a grind recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers.
TO BREW W
HOLE COFFEE
BEANS USE THIS AMOUNT OF GROUND COFFEE
4 cups 3 scoops 5 tablespoons or 2-1/2 scoops
2 cups 2 scoops 3 tablespoons or 1-1/2 scoops
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste 2 level tablespoons = 1 level coffee scoop
BREWING PAUSE ‘N SERVE
Our Brewing Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup
while the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the brew
basket from dripping onto the warming plate once brew cycle is complete.
Warning:
To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter within
30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the decanter is not
replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket will fill with water
and overflow.
C
LEANING
Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming
or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up
of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before
all the water has been pumped out of the machine, the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used.
The following table gives a suggested cleaning schedule.
S
UGGESTEDCLEANINGINTERVAL
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned by using
MR. COFFEE®Cleaner or vinegar.
MR. COFFEE®Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the
Sunbeam Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).
