C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Remove the brew basket by pulling toward you
like a drawer (Figure 4). Lift the water filter holder to
the open positon.
2. Use the permanent coffee filter already installed
in the brew basket or remove it and place a
MR. COFFEE
®
brand 10-12 cup paper basket-style
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 pivoting filter holder. It conveniently detaches from the brew basket by pulling
up at the rear pivot point.
5. Be sure the removable filter basket is placed back into the coffeemaker and pushed
completely closed.
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 water
window show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number
of cups. Do not fill past the “12 cup MAX line” on the decanter 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 reservoir lid on top of the coffeemaker to the open position and pour the water
into the reservior. Close the reservoir lid and place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.
NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and
grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or
damage to property.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal
injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow
the decanter to cool before using.
