Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker

Minerals (calcium) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and will affect it. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits by using MR. COFFEE® Cleaner or vinegar. MR. COFFEE® Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the

MR. COFFEE®Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).

1.Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker Cleaner. Pour the mixture into the water reservoir.

NOTE: 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. of undiluted, white household vinegar may be used as a substitute for the cleaner.

2.Place an empty MR. COFFEE® 4 cup basket-style paper filter or MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the filter basket and close coffeemaker lid.

3.Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.

4.Brew three cups of cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.

5.Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes.

6.Run the remainder of the cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.

7.Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water.

8.Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.

9.Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.

10.Remove and discard the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle. If a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket.

11.Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.

12.Repeat Steps 8 through 11 one more time.

Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee!

Suggested Decalcifying Interval

Type of Water	Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water	Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water	Every 40 Brew Cycles

Cleaning the Decanter

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this stain brown. To remove decanter stains:

1.Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.

2.Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may cause the decanter to break.
