B. Water Filtration System
Congratulations! You are the owner of a
MR. COFFEE
water filtration system. This
®
carbon-based water filter improves the
taste of your coffee by removing up to
97% of the chlorine from the water you
may use to brew your coffee.
First, look for the MR. COFFEE
Friendly symbol
on the bottom of your
filter basket. If you do not see this symbol,
please call 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 a 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.
C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Open the brew basket lid. For your
convenience, you can lift out the removable filter basket.
2. Place a MR. COFFEE
®
brand 10-12 cup paper basket-
style filter or a MR. COFFEE
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. After following instructions in the Water
Filtration System, place the MR. COFFEE
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 equals 5 ounces) For easy and accurate
filling, the water markings on the glass decanter 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 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.
