How To Brew Coffee
If the display on the clock is flashing, the clock has not been set yet and the coffeemaker will not operate. See instructions for setting the clock.
1. Remove the brew funnel. Place one Mr. Coffee paper filter inside.
2.Place coffee into the paper filter according to the coffee measurement chart below.
3.Make sure the paper filter is in the proper position then slide the brew funnel back into position.
4.Fill the decanter with tap water to desired capacity as marked on the side of the decanter. (1 cup equals 5 ounces.) To brew 12 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the bottom of the silver band.
5.Pour the water into the intake screen. Place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate. CAUTION: The special Pause ‘n Serve decanter lid must be on the decanter at all times. This lid controls the flow of coffee into the decanter. If it is not in place, the coffee in the brewing funnel will overflow onto the warming plate.
6.Slide the control switch to on. When coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete.
7.Discard the used grounds and filter. Rinse the brew funnel and slide it back into place.
Note: The warmer plate will keep your coffee piping hot for 2 hours and then, as a safety feature, the coffeemaker will shut off automatically. For an additional 2 hours of keep warm time, slide the control switch to OFF and then back to ON.
8.To make another pot of coffee, turn the coffeemaker off and repeat steps #1 through #6.
9.Be sure to turn the control switch off when the decanter is empty and you are no longer using your coffeemaker.
