Brewing Coffee
If the clock display is flashing, see page 5 to set the clock.
1. Open the swivel basket to your left. Insert a Mr. Coffee
®
brand paper filter into the
black inner filter basket.
2. Add desired amount of coffee according to the coffee measurement chart found
below. Shake lightly to level coffee.
3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before closing the filter basket.
4. Fill the decanter with tap water to desired capacity as marked on the side of the
decanter. (1 cup equals 5 ounces.) To brew 2 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the
middle of the silver band. To brew 12 cups, fill the decanter to the bottom of the
pouring spout.
For easy and accurate filling, cup markings can also be found inside the reservoir.
5. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Place the empty decanter onto the
warmer plate.
6. Press and hold the SELECT button until the red ON indicator light illuminates. When
the coffee stops flowing, the audible signal will beep five times to let you know that
the brewing cycle is complete. The ON light will remain illuminated after the brew
cycle is complete to indicate that the warming plate is still hot.
7. Carefully remove the black inner filter basket and discard the used grounds and filter.
Rinse the filter basket and replace.
8. To make another pot of coffee, repeat steps 1 through 7.
9. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker OFF when the decanter is empty and you are
no longer using your coffeemaker. Unplug the power cord when not using the
coffeemaker or clock.

Automatic Pause ’N Serve Drip Stop Valve
For your convenience, our Pause ’N Serve feature allows you up to 30 SECONDS
to sneak a cup while the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining
coffee in the filter basket from dripping onto the warmer plate once the brew cycle
is completed.
Automatic Shut-Off
After four hours the coffeemaker will beep three times then automatically shut off.
To Adjust the Warming Plate Temperature
After the coffee is brewed you can keep it at just the right temperature. Use the
WARMER TEMPERATURE knob to adjust the warming plate temperature. Do not allow
the decanter to boil dry. This will damage the decanter.
TO PREVENT INJURY FROM HOT OVERFLOW, REPLACE DECANTER WITHIN 30 SEC-
ONDS IF REMOVED DURING BREWING. IF THE DECANTER IS NOT REPLACED WITHIN 30
SECONDS, THE FILTER BASKET WILL FILL WITH WATER AND OVERFLOW.
WARNING
TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AS A RESULT OF OVER-
FLOW, BE SURE THAT THE DECANTER IS SQUARELY CENTERED UNDER THE BREW BASKET
DURING BREWING CYCLE. BREWED COFFEE AND GROUNDS, BOTH IN BREW BASKET AND
DECANTER, ARE VERY HOT. HANDLE WITH CARE TO AVOID SCALDING. IF BREW BASKET
OVERFLOWS, OR IF BREW 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!
