COFFEEMAKER FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Your new MR. COFFEE^® coffeemaker has the following features:

• Showering techonology – The showerhead is designed to evenly saturate the grounds and extract the fullest flavor.
• Grab-A-Cup Auto Pause – When you need a cup before brewing is finished carefully remove the decanter and grab-a-cup auto pause feature will automatically activate, temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the carafe.
• Lift & Clean Filter Basket – Pull it out, wash it off, done.
• Water Window – Shows amount of water in the reservoir for accurate filling.
• Non-Stick Warming Plate – This feature allows you to keep your coffee hot after brewing. The non-stick attribute prevents the decanter from sticking to the surface of the warming plate.
• Strong Brew Selector – Pump up flavor to strong if you like it bolder tasting.
• Water Filtration Ready – Great tasting coffee begins with great water! Using the Mr. Coffee^® carbon-based water filter in the Mr. Coffee^® coffeemaker during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee.
• Cord Storage – Safely stores excess cord to keep your countertop neat.
• Two-Hour Auto Shut-Off – Automatically turns off coffeemaker so you dont have to.
• Programmable Controls:
  • Clock – The clock serves as a handy kitchen clock and allows you to set the Delay Brew feature and functions as the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature.
  • Fresh Brew™ Timer feature – Lets you know how long your coffee has been waiting for you.
  • Delay Brew – Would you like to wake up to a fresh pot of coffee? The timer allows you to preset when you would like the coffeemaker to automatically begin brewing your coffee, up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Special Cleaning Cycle – Enables you to easily maintain and clean mineral deposits from your coffeemaker.
    NOTE: If you have selected any of the operating functions, the coffeemaker will act upon the last operation selected if the power is restored within 7 seconds after a power outage.

CLEAN YOUR COFFEEMAKER BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME

Make sure your first cup of coffee is as good as can be by cleaning your MR. COFFEE^® Coffeemaker before its first use. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the decanter, decanter lid, permanent filter, water filtration, and the filter basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly (please refer to the parts diagram listed above).
2. Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle with water only, without adding coffee and coffee filter.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off, discard the water in the decanter and rinse the decanter, decanter lid, and filter basket.

Your coffeemaker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

SETTING THE CLOCK AND DELAY BREW TIME

To Set the Clock:

1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The clock will flash on the control panel to indicate that the time has not been set yet.
2. Press and hold the HOUR and MINUTE buttons until you reach the current time. The AM or PM indicator will light at the left of the display ( Figures 1 and 2).
   

The clock is now set!
NOTE: Pressing Brew Now/Off or Clean buttons before setting the clock will cause the clock to start keeping time from 12:00 a.m. You must set the clock if you want to use the Delay Brew feature.

To Set the Delay Brew Time:
While the display is in the clock mode, simply press the SET DELAY button (Figure 3) and, while the DELAY BREW time is flashing, set the brew time by pressing the HOUR and MINUTE buttons. The AM or PM indicator will light at the left of the clock display. (Figure 4)
Within a few seconds the display will change to the current time. The Delay Brew Time is now set! NOTE: To activate the DELAY BREW cycle, see the "Brewing Coffee Later" section.

To check the programmed time, push the SET DELAY button. The display will show the time you have programmed the coffee to brew. If you press the SET DELAY button again or wait a few seconds, the display will switch back.

PREPARING FOR USE

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement. Make sure you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.

1. Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart

2. Water Filtration System
   Congratulations! You are the owner of a MR. COFFEE^® water filtration system. Using the Mr. Coffee^® carbon-based water filter in the Mr. Coffee^® coffeemaker during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the Red chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee. First, look for the MR. COFFEE Filter Friendly symbol on the bottom of your filter basket. If you do not see this symbol, please call 1-800-MRCOFFEE 1-800-672-6333.
   To use the water filtration system in your MR. COFFEE^® Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:
   
   1. Align the red indicator on the frame to the letter that corresponds with the month that you are using the disk for the first time. This serves to remind you to change the disk every month (approx. 30 brewing cycles). To change the disk, remove the used disk, insert new disk into the frame.
      NOTE: For optimum results, use the water filtration system with the permanent filter.
   2. Rinse the water filter in fresh water before first use.
   3. Follow Adding Water and Coffee instructions.
   4. When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.
      To replace the water filter disks: slide the used disk from your water filtration system. To insert the new disk, slide disk into the frame.

3. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
   1. Open the brew basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift out the removable filter basket.
   2. Place the MR. COFFEE^® nylon permanent filter included into the removable filter basket (Figure 5). NOTE: If using paper filters instead of the nylon permanent filter included, 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. After following instructions in the 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 decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup = 5 fl. oz./ 148ml) For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the water window 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 brew basket lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.

NOTE: Make sure the decanter 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.

To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the decanter to cool before using.

BREWING COFFEE NOW

1. To enjoy a more full flavored cup of coffee, press the Strong Brew button once. The STRONG Strong Brew red light will turn on. The coffeemaker will remain in the Strong Brew mode until you change it back to regular strength by pressing the Strong Brew button again and light turns off or until you unplug the machine. (Figure 6)
   NOTE: Once brewing has started the Strong Brew cannot be changed during the brew cycle. The coffeemaker automatically defaults to regular strength.
   
2. Complete the steps in the Adding Water and Coffee section and with the glass decanter and the filter basket securely in place, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the Brew Now/Off button once. The Brew Now/Off button will pulse during the brew cycle. (Figure 7).
   

3. After brewing is complete an audible ready signal will sound to let you know your coffee is ready.
4. After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully remove the filter basket and discard them.
   NOTE: The brew basket lid is hot after brewing. Always allow the coffeemaker to cool down before cleaning.
5. Prior to making a second pot of coffee, turn the coffeemaker off. This will reset the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature. To turn the coffeemaker off, press the Brew Now/Off button all lights will turn off.
6. Make sure the decanter is empty before starting to brew coffee.
7. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when no longer using it.

The Fresh Brew™ Timer Feature
The FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature lets you know how long your coffee has been waiting for you. At the start of the brew cycle, the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature will automatically be activated.
Press the FRESH BREW™ TIMER button once (Figure 8) and the clock time will change to show the amount of time that Figure 8 has passed since brewing completed. Push again to display current time.
NOTE: The Brew Now button must be lit for the Fresh Brew^TM feature to operate. The time and delay brew time cannot be set when the fresh brew time is displayed.

BREWING COFFEE LATER

1. You must first set the time for when you would like the coffeemaker to begin brewing your coffee as described in Setting the Clock and the Delay Brew Timer section.
2. Prepare your coffeemaker as described in Adding Water and Ground Coffee section.
3. To activate DELAY BREW and program your coffeemaker to brew coffee at a later time, press the Delay Brew button once (Figure 9). The yellow DELAY BREW light will turn on. The coffeemaker is now set to automatically brew coffee at the pre-set later time. You can select a stronger strength if you desire by pressing the Strong Brew button. Otherwise, it will default to regular strength.
   
4. At the pre-set time, the Brew Now/Off light will pulse and the DELAY BREW yellow light will turn off, indicating the brewing has started in the selected Strong Brew. The FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature will start.
5. The coffeemaker warmer plate will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours and then automatically turn off.

As a safety feature, your coffeemaker will NOT start again automatically the next day. If you want your coffee to brew at the same time the following day, simply add a new filter, coffee and water and set DELAY BREW, by repeating Steps 2 and 3 above.
To cancel DELAY BREW: Press the Delay Brew button once.
The light will turn off (Figure 9).

Water Filtration Disk Replacement
Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the machine will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with running water and clean the coffeemaker before use.

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.

This appliance has no user serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond that described in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an Authorized Service Representative only.
