B. Water Filtration System (Not included in all models)
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.
First, look for the MR. COFFEE Filter 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.
To replace the water filter disks: slide
the used disk from your water filtration
system. To insert the new disk, slide disk
into the frame.

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
®
permanent filter into the
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
®
water filter in 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
coffeemaker’s water window, should 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.
