OPERATION AND USE
Before First Use
Before using your coffeemaker for the first time, wash
decanter/lid and removable filter basket using a mild, non-
abrasive detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly. Follow
Steps 3 – 5 under
Brewing Coffee
only using water, to clean
the inside.
Brewing Coffee
1. Lift the coffeemaker lid for filter basket and water
reservoir access. Insert a MR. COFFEE
®
4-Cup paper or
permanent filter into the removable filter basket.
2. Add desired amount of coffee, referring to the Coffee
Measurement Chart. (See Page E6) Shake lightly to level
coffee. Be sure the filter is centered.
3. Fill the decanter with cold water to desired capacity as
marked on the side of the decanter (1 cup = 5 oz). To
brew 4 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the 4-cup line.
4. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Note: For easy
and accurate filling, refer to cup markings on the water
windows. Place the empty decanter onto the warming
plate.
5. Plug the cord into the electrical outlet and turn your
coffeemaker switch to the “on” position. When the
coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete.
Note:
The warming plate will keep your coffee piping hot
until you turn your coffeemaker off.
6. After contents have cooled, carefully remove the filter
basket and discard the used grounds and paper filter or
rinse clean the permanent filter. Rinse the removable filter
basket and replace.
7. To make another pot of coffee, repeat Steps 1-6.
8. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when the decanter
is empty and you are no longer using your coffeemaker.
Please unplug the power cord when not in use.

Warning:
To avoid risk of personal injury or damage
to property as a result of overflow, be sure the
decanter is squarely centered under the filter
basket during the brewing cycle. Brewed coffee
and grounds, both in filter basket and decanter, are
very hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding. If filter
basket overflows, or if filter basket fails to drain
into decanter during brew cycle, do not open or
handle basket. Unplug coffeemaker and wait for
contents to cool before handling.
SUGGESTED COFFEE MEASUREMENT CHART
For best results, use freshly ground coffee.
Use level tablespoon (Tbsp.) of a grind recommended for
automatic drip coffeemakers.
Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
To Brew
Ground Coffee
4 Cups
5 tbsp.
2 Cups
3 tbsp.
1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.
1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee

BREWING PAUSE ‘N SERVE
Our Brewing Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30
seconds to pour a cup of coffee while the coffeemaker is
still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the filter
basket from dripping onto the warming plate once the brew
cycle is complete.
WARNING:
To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace
decanter within 30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the
decanter is not replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket
will fill with water and overflow.
