To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cords, plugs, or appliances in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Unplug from the outlet when either the appliance or display clock (if provided) is not in use, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to an Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or adjustment. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord.
The use of an accessory not recommended by the appliance manufacturer for use with this appliance may result in ﬁre, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Always attach the plug to the appliance ﬁrst, then plug the cord into the wall outlet (for appliances with detachable cords). To disconnect, turn any control to the off position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
All lids should be closed during use.
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed or the brew basket door is opened during or immediately after the brewing cycles. Contents may be hot. Allow to cool before opening the lid.
For appliances with sealed capsules:
WARNING: To avoid the risk of injury, never open or disengage the brew chamber during the brew cycle.

GETTING STARTED

Unpack Your Coffeemaker

Unpack your coffeemaker and remove plastic bags, cartons, and any tape on the unit.

WARNING: KEEP PLASTIC BAGS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Clean the Coffeemaker Before Use

Just follow these simple steps:

Wash the carafe lid and the brew basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle by adding only water to the coffeemaker. After adding water, press Brew Now.
When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off.
Turn your coffeemaker off by pressing the Brew Now button again. Discard the water in the carafe and rinse the carafe, carafe lid, and brew basket.

NOTE: Carafe and brew basket are top-rack dishwashers safe. The water Filtration System is NOT!

Setting The Clock

Plug in the coffee maker and set the current time using the hour and minute buttons. 5 Seconds of inactivity will set the clock at the time selected.

Water Filtration System

Using the Mr. Coffee® carbon-based water ﬁlter in the Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee. To use the water ﬁltration system in your MR.

COFFEE® Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:

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).
To change the disk, remove the used disk, and insert a new disk into the frame.

NOTE: For optimum results, use the water ﬁltration system with a permanent ﬁlter.

Rinse the water ﬁlter in freshwater before use.
Follow Adding Water and Coffee Instructions.
Position the ﬁlter on top of the brew basket, and brew according to your particular model’s brewing instructions.
When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water ﬁlter with fresh water. Do not put your water ﬁlter in the dishwasher.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart: For best results, brew 4 or more cups of coffee.

Water To Brew	Ground Coffee
12 cups = 60 oz.	12 tbs.
10 cups = 50 oz.	10 tbs.
8 cups = 40 oz.	8 tbs.
6 cups = 30 oz.	6 tbs.
4 cups = 20 oz.	4 tbs.

Using ﬁne coffee or decaf may cause overﬂow.

Fill the carafe with fresh cold water to the desired level. (Figure 1). 1 Mr. Coffee “cup” is equivalent to 5 ﬂuid ounces. Pour into Water Reservoir.

NOTE: Some water will be absorbed into the coffee grounds and water ﬁlter during the brewing process.

Insert and line the brew basket with a standard basket-style paper ﬁlter (sold separately) or reusable ﬁlter (if included).
Referencing the chart above, scoop the equivalent amount of coffee grounds into the ﬁlter using a tablespoon.
You are ready to Brew Now!
Enjoy fresh coffee every time!

BREW NOW

After ﬁlling the coffeemaker with water and grounds, press the Brew Now button to brew instantly.
Brew Now the light will illuminate to indicate brewing.
The coffeemaker warming plate will keep the coffee hot for up to 4 hours and then will automatically shut off. The brew now button will remain illuminated while the warming plate is ON.

HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

Paper Filters Vs. Reusable Filters

PAPER FILTERS: To achieve a smoother, less bitter cup of coffee, use a paper ﬁlter. It will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments.
REUSABLE FILTERS: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable ﬁlter. It will allow the coffee’s full ﬂavor to ﬁll your cup. Reusable ﬁlters have tiny holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.

COFFEEMAKER EXTRAS (not included with all models)

Water: While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98 percent water. The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the ﬁnal taste. Always use clean, fresh water that is ﬁltered and free of impurities – avoid soft water or well water. Please refer to the “Water Filtration” section to learn more about how your coffeemaker reduces impurities in water.

Cleanliness

A clean coffeemaker is essential to brewing great-tasting coffee each and every time.

ROUTINE CLEANING

Daily Cleaning

CAUTION: Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled completely before cleaning.
Remove the brew basket, ﬁlter, carafe, and carafe lid, wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly. You can also place it in the dishwasher; top-rack only.

Decalcifying Your MR. COFFEE® PC12 Series Coffeemaker

Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits using vinegar.

IMPORTANT: Remove the water ﬁltration system from the coffeemaker.
Prepare 4 cups or 20 ﬂ. oz. / 592ml of undiluted, white household vinegar. Pour the vinegar into the water reservoir.
Place an empty 10-12 cup basket-style paper ﬁlter or MR. COFFEE® reusable ﬁlter into the brew basket and close the coffeemaker’s lid.
Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.
Brew prepared cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.
Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
Fill the water reservoir with 12 cups of clean, fresh water.
Place the empty carafe back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.
Remove and discard the paper ﬁlter used during the cleaning cycle. If an MR. COFFEE® reusable ﬁlter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the brew basket.
Press Brew Now and allow the full brew cycle to complete, rinsing the coffeemaker with hot water.
Discard the water and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat steps 8 through 11 one more time, to ensure it is fully rinsed.
