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® 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: Red Indicator 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). 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 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. To replace the water filter disks, twist the gray disk cover from your water filtration system. Remove the used disk.
