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. 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 (Figure 2 - Adding water into the removable filter basket. and ground coffee) (Figure 2) 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. If using the Mr. Coffee® Water Filtration System: after following instructions in the Water Filtration System section, place the Mr. Coffee® water filter in the filter basket, making sure that the side marked "this side up" faces you and that the water filter is level. 5. Be sure the filter is properly centered and all the way down in the filter basket. 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 12 needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the "MAX line" or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir. 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. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warming plate. NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the 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. BREWING COFFEE NOW 1. After completing the steps in the "Adding Water and Coffee" section and with the decanter and the filter basket securely in place, turn the coffeemaker on. For Programmable models: Press the ON Button to begin the brewing cycle. The green indicator light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is brewing. When the brewing cycle is complete the coffeemaker switches over to the warming mode. Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours, then automatically shut off. Thermal units will shut off immediately after the brewing cycle is complete. While the coffee is brewing, the Pause 'n Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the decanter. REPLACE THE DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN 30 SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND POSSIBLE INJURY. 13
