INTRODUCTION

Welcome and congratulations on the purchase of your new MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker. Your new FT 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.

4.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.

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 10 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 and the filter basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly (please refer to the Parts Diagram).

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!

SETTING THE CLOCK AND DELAY BREW TIME

To Set the Clock:

1.Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The clock will flash on the control panel to indicate that the time has not been set yet.

2.Press and hold the HOUR and MINUTE buttons until you reach the current time. The AM or PM indicator will light at the bottom of the display (Figures 1 and 2).

The clock is now set!

NOTE: Pressing any button before setting the clock will cause the clock to start keeping time from 12:00 a.m. You must set the clock if you want to use the Delay Brew feature.

To Set the Delay Brew Time:

While the display is in the clock mode, simply press the SET DELAY button (Figure 3) and, while the DELAY BREW yellow light is flashing, set the brew time by pressing the HOUR and MINUTE buttons (Figure 4). The AM or PM indicator will light at the bottom of the clock display.

Within a few seconds the display will change to the current time.

The Delay Brew Time is now set!

NOTE: To activate the DELAY BREW cycle, see the Brewing Coffee Later section.

To check the programmed time, push the SET DELAY button. The display will show the time you have programmed the coffee to brew. If you press the SET DELAY button again or wait a few seconds, the display will switch back.

B. Water Filtration System

Congratulations! You are the owner of a 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 on the bottom of your filter basket. If you do not see this symbol, please call 1-800-672-6333.

To use the water filtration system in your

Red

 

 

MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker, please follow

 

 

these steps:

Indicator

 

 

 

 

 

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).

 

 

 

NOTE: For optimum results, use the water

 

 

 

filtration system with a 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 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.

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 a MR. COFFEE® brand 10-12 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the removable filter basket (Figure 5).

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.

3.Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See the

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart.

FIGURE 5

 

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 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 “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 pour through reservoir lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warmer 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.

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.After completing 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 button once. The BREW NOW green light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is on and brewing (Figure 6).

2.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 7).

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

NOTE: The shower head cover is hot after brewing. Always allow the coffeemaker to cool down before cleaning.
