Mr. Coffee 110687 user manual Cleaning Instructions, Cleaning the Decanter

Cleaning Instructions

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.

Suggested Cleaning Interval

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

MR. COFFEE® Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).

Cleaning the Decanter

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter.

Coffee may then turn this stain brown.

To remove decanter stains:

1) Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.

2)Discard the solution and wash and rinse

the decanter.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the decanter; scratches may cause the decanter to break.
