C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee 1. Open the brew basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift out the removable filter basket. 2. Place a MR. COFFEE® brand 1012 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the removable filter basket (Figure 5). NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush Figure 5 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 basket, making sure that the side marked "this side up" faces you and that the water filter is level. 5. Be sure the removable filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the brew basket and close the lid. 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 needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the "12 cup MAX line" 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 14 BVMC-SJX_12ESM1.indd 15-16 reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds. 7. Lift the reservoir lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the 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 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.
