HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP CONT.
Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98 percent water.
The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always use
clean, fresh water that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid soft water or
well water. Please refer to the “Water Filtration” section to learn more about
how your coffeemaker reduces impurities in water.
Cleanliness
A clean coffeemaker is essential to brewing great tasting coffee each and
every time.
ROUTINE CLEANING
Daily Cleaning
CAUTION:
Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled
completely before cleaning.
• Remove the brew basket, filter, carafe, carafe lid, and wash them in a
solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly. You can
also place in the dishwasher; top-rack only.
Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® SC05 Series Coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your
coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly
remove these deposits using vinegar.
1.
IMPORTANT:
Remove the water filtration system from the coffeemaker.
2. Prepare 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. / 592ml of undiluted, white household vinegar.
Pour the vinegar into the water reservoir.
3. Place an empty 5 cup basket-style paper filter or MR. COFFEE

reusable
filter into the brew basket and close the coffeemaker’s lid.

MR. COFFEE® reusable filter was used during cleaning, remove it and
rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the brew basket.
11. Turn the switch to ON and allow the full brew cycle to complete, rinsing
the coffeemaker with hot water.
12. Discard the water and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
