Water Filtration Disk Replacement
Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a
month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the machine will not be in
use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with
running water and clean the coffeemaker before use.
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and
coffee may then turn this stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and
vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for
approximately 20 minutes.
2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the
decanter, scratches may cause the decanter to break.
2. Place an empty MR. COFFEE ® 10-12 cup basket-style
paper filter or MR. COFFEE ® permanent filter into the filter
basket and close the brew basket lid.
3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit,
centered on the warmer plate.
4. Press the Select/Off button until the red
CLEAN indicator light turns on (Figure 9).
For your convenience the cleaning cycle is
automatic. The entire cycle will take 45-60
minutes to complete. During the cleaning
your coffeemaker will:
a. Slow brew approx. 3 cups of cleaning
solution.
b. Pause for 30 minutes (the CLEAN light will remain on to
alert you that the process is active).
c. After 30 minutes, your coffeemaker will brew the
remainder of the cleaning solution.
d. When complete, the CLEAN light will turn off and your
coffeemaker will turn off.
5. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter
thoroughly with clean water.
6. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
7. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker,
centered on the warming plate.
8. Remove and discard the paper filter used during the
cleaning cycle. If a Mr. Coffee ® permanent filter was used
during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before
replacing it in the filter basket.
9. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 one more time.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next
pot of delicious, hot coffee!
