HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP CONT.
Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98 percent
water. The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste.
Always use clean, fresh water that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid
soft water or well water. Please refer to the "Water Filtration" section to
learn more about how your coffeemaker reduces impurities in water.
Cleanliness
A clean coffeemaker is essential to brewing great tasting coffee each and
every time. This coffeemaker is equipped with a cleaning cycle. Please
refer to the next page for steps on routine cleaning.

ROUTINE CLEANING

Daily Cleaning
• CAUTION: Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled
completely before cleaning.
• Remove the brew basket, reusable filter, carafe, carafe lid, and
wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry
thoroughly. You can also place in the dishwasher; top-rack only.
Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® SC12 Series Coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your
coffeemaker and affect its performance. It's recommended that you
regularly remove these deposits using vinegar.
1. IMPORTANT: Remove the water filtration system from
the coffeemaker.
2. Prepare 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. / 592ml of undiluted, white household
vinegar. Pour the vinegar into the water reservoir.
3. Place an empty 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter or MR. COFFEE®
reusable filter into the brew basket and close the coffeemaker's lid.
4. Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centered on the warming
plate.
5. Brew prepared cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.
6. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly
with clean water.
7. Fill the water reservoir with 12 cups of clean, fresh water.
8. Place the empty carafe back on the coffeemaker, centered on the
warming plate.

If a MR. COFFEE® reusable filter was used during cleaning, remove it
and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the brew basket.
