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
•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.
PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
•To set your clock, press down and hold the SET button, while alternately pressing 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).

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.
•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.
