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.
DECANTER USE AND CARE
Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the
chance of breaking the glass decanter:
• This decanter is designed for use with your MR. COFFEE
®
