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 10-12 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 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 reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by
the coffee grounds.
7. Lift the pour through 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.
