COFFEE® Coffeemaker Minerals (calcium) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and will affect it. It's recommended that you regularly remove these deposits by using MR. COFFEE® Cleaner or vinegar. MR. COFFEE® Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the MR. COFFEE® Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333). 1. Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker Cleaner. Pour the mixture into the water reservoir. NOTE: 4 cups or 20 f. oz. of undiluted, white household vinegar may be used as a substitute for the cleaner. 2. Place an empty MR. COFFEE® 4 cup basket-style paper filter or MR. COFFEE ® permanent filter into the filter basket and close coffeemaker lid. 3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warming plate. 4. Brew three cups of cleaning solution through the coffeemaker. 5. Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes. 6. Run the remainder of the cleaning solution through the coffeemaker. 7. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water. 8. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water. 9. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate. 10. Remove and discard the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle. If a MR. COFFEE ® permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket. 11. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete. 12. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 one more time. Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee! Suggested Decalcifying Interval Type of Water Cleaning Frequency Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles Cleaning the Decanter Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this stain brown.

Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches may cause the decanter to break.
