Water Filtration System (Not included. Available at your favorite retailer or
on mrcoffee.com)
Your coffeemaker has been designed to use the 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® Filtration 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. Using the red indicator on the frame water filter, align
the indicator to the letter on the frame 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).
2. Place the MR.COFFEE® paper or permanent filter in
the filter basket. Place coffee grounds in the paper or
permanent filter.
NOTE
: For optimum results, use the water filtration
system with a permanent filter.
3. Place the MR. COFFEE® water filter in the filter basket,
making sure that the side marked “this side up” faces
you and that the water filter is level.
4. Close the filter basket lid. You are now ready to brew a great
tasting coffee.
5. 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:
twist the gray disk cover
from your water filtration system. Remove the used disk. Insert the
new disk into the frame and twist the cover back into place.
Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Lift and open the filter 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® permanent
filter into the removable filter basket. (Figure 2)
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 using the Mr. Coffee® Water Filtration System: after following
instructions in the Water Filtration System section, place the Mr.
Coffee® water filter in the filter basket, making sure that the side
marked “this side up” faces you and that the water filter is level.
5. Be sure the filter basket is properly centered and all the way down
in the filter basket.
