Water Filtration System:
(Not Included. Available at your favorite retailer
or visit the web site www.mrcoffee.com)
Your coffeemaker has been designed to use the 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
®
Filtration Friendly symbol on the bottom of your filter
basket. If you do not see this symbol, please call 1-800-672-6333.
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). (Figure 2)
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 Ground Coffee”
Instructions in the next section.
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.

To Set the Clock:

panel to indicate that the time has not been set yet.
2. Press and hold the HOUR and MINUTE buttons until you reach the current time. The PM
indicator will light on the left of the display.
NOTE: Pressing any button before setting the clock will cause the clock to start keeping time
from 12:00 a.m. You must set the clock if you want to use the Delay Brew feature.
Adding Water and Ground Coffee:
1. Lift and open the filter 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 3)
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”.
