els. [(Mr. Coffee replacement decanter models PD12 (white) or

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
 
b. This decanter is designed for use with your Mr. Coffee coffee-  
maker and therefore must never be used on a range top or in any  
oven, including a microwave.  
c. Do not set a hot decanter on a wet or cold surface.

weakened handle.

15.  
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS  
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting  
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.  
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in  
its use.  
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the exten-  
sion cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting  
extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the  
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or  
tripped over accidentally.  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is larger than the  
other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet  
only one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet, reverse  
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do  
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.  
 
Precautions When Using This Machine  
Avoid areas of the coffeemaker which may become hot or emit steam  
when the machine is “on”, particularly the filter basket and the water  
reservoir.  
.
Avoid jerking or straining the power cord when unplugging. Grasp the  
molded plug to unplug.  
Unplug the unit when not in use.  
.
.
Unplug the unit when wiping the exterior. Use only a damp cloth to wipe.  
Place machine well back from edge of counter.  
Don’ts...  
DO NOT place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow beneath the appli-  
ance.  
Never reheat a beverage by passing it through the brewing system.  
.
.
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning compounds to clean the  
exterior of the unit.  
.
Do not store the machine until warmer plate has cooled.  
Do not place your hand underneath the brew funnel, in order to avoid  
contact with any fluid.  
l
Do not permit children to use this machine without close adult supervi-  
sion.  
The use of chemically softened water can inhibit proper filtration. This  
will affect the beverage flavor and will cause a long drip time from the  
brew funnel. Avoid using chemically softened water.

Brewing Coffee  
1. Open the swing out basket to your right. Insert a Mr. Coffee brand paper  
filter into the basket.  
2. Add desired amount of coffee and shake slightly to level coffee.  
See SUGGESTED COFFEE MEASUREMENT CHART found above.  
3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before closing the swing out  
basket.  
Fill the decanter with tap water to desired capacity as marked on the  
side of the decanter. (1 cup equals 5 ounces.) To brew 2 cups of coffee,  
fill the decanter to the middle of the silver band. For the AD1 0, do not fill  
above the 1 O-cup line or the coffeemaker will overflow.  
4.  
For easy and accurate filling, a water window is located on the left side  
of the coffeemaker.  
Pour water into the water reservoir. Place the empty decanter onto the  
warmer plate.  
5.  
6.  
Turn your coffeemaker switch ON. When coffee stops flowing, the brew  
ing cycle is complete.  
7. Remove the paper filter, then discard the used grounds and filter.  
The Filter Basket can be removed by swinging it open to the right, lifting the  
basket up and .pulling the bottom of the basket out. Rinse the basket and  
replace by inserting the top post of the basket into the machine first.  
 
Automatic Pause ‘N Serve Drip Stop Valve  
For your convenience, our Pause ‘N Serve feature allows you up to  
to sneak a cup while the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any  
remaining coffee in the filter basket from dripping onto the warmer plate once  
the brew cycle is completed.  
TO PREVENT INJURY FROM HOT OVERFLOW, REPLACE  
DECANTER WITHIN 30 SECONDS, IF REMOVED DURING  
BREWING.  
 
Cleaning Instructions  
Your coffeemaker  
be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive  
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is  
caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the  
pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the  
machine, then the appliance requires cleaning.  
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The fol-  
lowing table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.  
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL  
Type of Water  
Cleaning Frequency  
every 80 brew cycles  
every 40 brew cycles  
Soft Water  
Hard Water  
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE CLEANER or  
vinegar. For best results, use MR. COFFEE CLEANER. It is superior to vine-  
gar and has no unpleasant odor.  
Using Mr. Coffee Cleaner  
(Read caution statement on side panel of Mr. Coffee Cleaner box before  
use)  
1. Fill the decanter with 4-5 decanter cups of warm water.  
2. Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE CLEANER into the  
decanter and stir with a plastic or wooden spoon until the cleaner is com-  
pletely dissolved.  
3. Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.  
4. Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate. The filter basket should  
be closed.  
5. Turn your coffeemaker on.  
6. When the blue solution has stopped flowing, turn your coffeemaker off.  
7. Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter and lid.  
8. Repeat steps #l #7 with clean water only (no blue solution).  
-
Continue to rinse out the unit until you see no remaining traces of  
the blue solution.  
9. If a normal brewing flow rate is not achieved, repeat the cleaning steps  
#l  
-
#8.  
 
USING VINEGAR:  
1. Pour 1 quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffee-  
maker  
2. Place a filter into the filter basket and close the swing out basket.  
3. Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate and turn the coffee-  
maker on. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffee-  
maker off and let stand for l/2 hour.  
4. Turn the coffeemaker on and let all of the vinegar flow through.  
5. Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.  
6. To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water  
into the coffeemaker, turn it on, and allow it all to cycle through.  
7. Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker off. Repeat steps #6 and  
#7.  
Decanter Cleaning  
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee  
and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside  
the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:  
1. Use a hot white vinegar solution and let it soak.  
2. Let it stand for about 20 minutes and then discard.  
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use  
harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead  
to breakage.
