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
chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee. 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 use.
3.
Follow Adding Water and Coffee Instructions.
4.
Position the filter on top of the brew basket, and brew according to
your particular model's brewing instructions.
5.
When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water filter with fresh
water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.
HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP
Paper Filters vs. Reusable Filters
PAPER FILTERS
: To achieve a smoother, less bitter cup of coffee, use a
paper filter. It will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments.
REUSABLE FILTERS
: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter.
It will allow the coffee’s full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny
holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.

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. This coffeemaker is equipped with a cleaning cycle. Please
refer to the next page for steps on routine cleaning.
ROUTINE CLEANING
Daily Cleaning
• CAUTION: Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled
completely before cleaning.
• Remove the brew basket, reusable 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® SC12 Series Coffeemaker

coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you
regularly remove these deposits using vinegar.

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 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter or MR. COFFEE®
reusable filter into the brew basket and close the coffeemaker’s lid.
4. Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centered on the warming
plate.
5. Brew prepared cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.
6. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly
with clean water.
7. Fill the water reservoir with 12 cups of clean, fresh water.
8. Place the empty carafe back on the coffeemaker, centered on the
warming plate.
