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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE COFFEEMAKER.

2. Do not touch the coffeemaker’s hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the power cord, power plug or coffeemaker in water or in any other liquid.

4. Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

5. Turn the coffeemaker OFF and unplug the power cord from the power source when the coffeemaker and clock are not in use and before cleaning. Allow the coffeemaker parts to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or power plug, or operate it after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return this appliance only to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments other than MR. COFFEE

brand products

may cause hazards or injuries.

8. Do not use the coffeemaker outdoors.

9. Do not let the power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or allow it to come into contact with hot surfaces.

10. Do not place this coffeemaker on or near a hot gas stove or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. To disconnect the coffeemaker, turn it OFF, then remove the power plug from the power supply.

12. Place the appliance on a hard, flat level surface to avoid interruption of airflow underneath the coffeemaker.

13. Avoid contact with any moving parts.

14. This coffeemaker is designed for household use only.

15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

DECANTER USE AND CARE

Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking the glass decanter or thermal carafe:

• 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.

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.

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.

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 MR. COFFEE®Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:

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.

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.
