CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Your PRX30/PRX33 coffeemaker will notify you when cleaning is required. After one minute into the brewing cycle the electronic controls will decide if the coffeemaker needs cleaning. If it does, the CLEAN mode light will begin to flash.
If the CLEAN mode light flashes, clean the coffeemaker before the next brew cycle. Failure to clean the coffeemaker when indicated could result in excessive steaming and increased brewing time.

Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE CLEANER or vinegar. For best results use MR. COFFEE CLEANER. It is superior to vinegar and has no unpleasant odor.
Using Mr. Coffee® Cleaner
(Read caution statement on side panel of Mr. Coffee Cleaner box before use)

2.Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE CLEANER into the decanter and stir with a plastic or wooden spoon until the cleaner is completely dissolved. This will make a clear blue solution.
3.Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.

7.Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter, lid and filter basket.

Decanter Cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1.Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2.Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3.Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
