Brewing Coffee Now - Mr. Coffee EHXSS Series User Manual

2. Place a 10-12 cup paper basket-
style filter or a MR. COFFEE
reusable permanent coffee filter
into the removable filter basket
(Figure 5).
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.
4. If you are using water filtration system, place the MR.
COFFEE water filter in the basket, making sure that
®
the side marked "this side up" faces you and that
the water filter is level.
5. Be sure the removable filter basket is properly
centered and all the way down in the brew basket
and close the lid.
6. Fill the carafe with cold, fresh water to the
desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces) For
easy and accurate filling, the water markings on
the glass carafe and on the dual water windows
show the amount of water needed to make the
corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill
past the "12 cup MAX line" or water will flow out of
the overfill hole in the back of the coffeemaker.
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.

7. Lift the pour through reservoir lid and pour the
water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and
place the empty carafe onto the warmer plate.
NOTE: Make sure the carafe is fully placed on the
warming plate or the water and the grounds will
overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause
personal injury or damage to property.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the
carafe and/or the risk of personal injury, do
not add cold water to the carafe if the carafe
is already hot. Allow the carafe to cool before
using.
