B. Water Filtration System
Congratulations! You are the owner of a MR. COFFEE ®
water filtration system. This carbon-based water filter
improves the taste of your coffee by removing up to 97%
of the chlorine from the water you may use to brew 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).
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, twist the gray disk cover
from your water filtration system. Remove the used disk.
Insert the new disk into the frame and twist the cover back
into place.

C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Open the brew basket drawer (Figure 4).
2. Place a MR. COFFEE
® brand 10–12 cup paper basket-style
filter or a MR. COFFEE ® permanent filter into the removable
filter basket.
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
(Figure 5).
4. Slide the brew basket back into place (Figure 6).
5. Fill the removable water reservoir with cold, fresh water
to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces) For easy
and accurate filling, the water markings on the removable
water reservoir shows the amount of water needed to
make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not
fill past the “10 cup MAX line” or water will flow out of the
coffeemaker.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: If the decanter is not in place then the coffeemaker
will not brew. The BREW NOW LED will flash to signal that
there is an error.
CAUTION:
Do not place the decanter in the dishwasher.
