or weakened handle.

• Do not clean the decanter with abrasive cleaners, steel wool
pads or other abrasive materials.

Welcome and congratulations on the purchase of your new MR. COFFEE®Coffeemaker.
Your new 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
up to you!

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

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.
