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.
First, look for the MR. COFFEE
Friendly symbol
on the bottom of
your filter basket. If you do not see this
symbol, please call 888-800-9130.
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).
2. Rinse the water filter in fresh water
before first use.
NOTE: For optimum results, use the water
filtration system with a permanent filter.
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.

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 4)
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 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
dual water windows 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.
