• Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface.

• Do not place hot carafe on or near paper, cloth or other flammable material.

• Never use the carafe on a range top or in a conventional microwave oven.

• Do not allow liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe when empty.

• Do not move entire unit when carafe contains hot liquid.

• Use the lid on the carafe while brewing and pouring coffee.

• Discard carafe if damaged in any manner, or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any service covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Coffeemaker. Only authorized personnel should repair the Coffeemaker.

Special Cord Set Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.

• An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use.

• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical rating of the Coffeemaker is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

•

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.

OFFEEMAKER

Coffeemaker Features

• Pause ’n Serve

To restart the brewing process, return carafe to warming plate and coffee will automatically begin flowing through filter basket. Make sure carafe is placed all the way on the warming plate.

CAUTION: Do not remove carafe for longer than

30 seconds or the filter basket may overflow.

• Removable Water Reservoir

The water reservoir can be removed for easy cleaning or filling.

• Lighted On/Off Switch

Lighted On/Off switch allows you to know when the Coffeemaker is ON for safe operation (SP3 and SP4 only).

• Removable Filter Insert

The removable filter basket insert allows you to easily lift the filter basket from the brew basket to add or remove filter and ground coffee.

(SP3 and SP4 only)

• Audible Ready Signal

• 1 Hour Auto-Off

This feature keeps your coffee warm for one hour after brewing and then automatically shuts off your coffeemaker (SPX3 and SPX4 only).

• Programmable Controls (SPX3 and SPX4 only)

Clock: The LED clock serves as a handy kitchen clock, and also allows

you to set the timer. Timer: Would you like to wake up to a fresh pot of coffee? The timer

Coffeemaker Features

Preparing Your Coffeemaker for Use

• Carefully unpack the Coffeemaker and remove all packaging materials.

• Before making coffee in your new MR. COFFEE®Coffeemaker, thoroughly clean the carafe, carafe lid, filter holder and detachable water tank with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

NOTE: CARAFE, WATER RESERVOIR, CARAFE LID AND FILTER

BASKET ARE DISHWASHER SAFE.

• You may wipe the warming plate with a clean, damp cloth. However, do not immerse the Coffeemaker in water or any other liquid.

• Prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate Coffeemaker once or twice with water but without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the Coffeemaker which might affect the flavor of the coffee.

IMPORTANT – Use Cold Water for Best Results

• Wash decanter, removable water reservoir, decanter lid and removable filter basket insert with a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.

PREPARING COFFEEMAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE

• Place your MR. COFFEE®Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface away from any edge.

• Plug the unit into a 120 Volt, 60 Hz AC only outlet.

• The lid of the carafe must be properly snapped on during the brewing process and the carafe must be set on the warming plate.

• The filter basket must be properly locked in during the brewing process.

CAUTION: If the filter basket is not completely inserted, the

Pause ’n Serve feature will not function properly. It could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.

• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.

• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.

• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over-extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker.

PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

•

To set your clock, press down and hold the SET button, while alternately the UP and DOWN buttons (indicated by arrows), until you reach your desired time. Once you reach your desired time, release the SET button and your clock will be programmed (SPX3 and SPX4 only).

Brewing Coffee

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

• Remove water reservoir, open hinged lid and add the appropriate amount of water. Place removable water reservoir at the top of the unit and flush against it. Push down until plastic notches insert into slots on the Coffeemaker on both sides.

NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always

be slightly less than the amount of water placed into the Coffeemaker, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups desired or you can remove the detachable water tank from the Coffeemaker to fill with cool water.

PUTTING IN THE COFFEE

• Lift brew basket lid. Insert a standard flat paper filter into the filter basket or a preprepared coffee pack.

• After using your Coffeemaker several times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste, by decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used. Be sure to use coffee ground specifically for automatic-drip Coffeemakers.

CAUTION: Do not operate your Coffeemaker

if the basket is not inserted completely. If the basket does not insert completely, check to see that the filter packet is properly seated and basket is locked into place.

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart

For best results, use level coffee scoop of fresh coffee beans. 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 WHOLE 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
