Mr. Coffee AD SERIES Automatic Pause N’ Serve - Drip Stop Valve, Cleaning, Using Vinegar

Automatic Pause N’ Serve - Drip Stop Valve

Our Pause N’ Serve feature allows up to 30 seconds to sample a cup while the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the brew basket from dripping onto the warmer plate once brew cycle is complete.

Warning: To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter within 30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the decanter is not replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket will fill with water & overflow.

Cleaning

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 & 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

SOFT WATER - EVERY 80 BREW CYCLES

HARD WATER - EVERY 40 BREW CYCLES

Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using Mr. Coffee Cleaner or vinegar.
