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.

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 drawer (Figure 4).

2.Place a MR. COFFEE® brand 10–12 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the removable filter basket.

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 (Figure 5).

4.Slide the brew basket back into place (Figure 6).

5.Fill the removable water reservoir with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces) For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the removable water reservoir shows the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the “10 cup MAX line” or water will flow out of the coffeemaker.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: If the decanter is not in place then the coffeemaker will not brew. The BREW NOW LED will flash to signal that there is an error.

CAUTION:

Do not place the decanter in the dishwasher.
