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

Automatic Pause ‘n Serve  
For your convenience, our Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30  
SECONDS to sneak a cup while the coffee is still brewing.  
TO PREVENT INJURY FROM HOT OVERFLOW, REPLACE DECANTER  
WITHIN 30 SECONDS IF REMOVED DURING BREWING.  
Cleaning Instructions  
Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive  
steaming or the  
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  
following table gives you the suggested cleaning intervals.  
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL  
of Water  
Soft water  
Hard water  
Cleaning Frequency  
every 80 brew cycles  
every 40 brew cycles  
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE CLEANER or  
vinegar. For best results use MR. COFFEE CLEANER. It is superior to  
vinegar 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 to the bottom of the silver band with warm water.  
2. Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE CLEANER into the  
decanter and stir until the cleaner is completely dissolved. This will  
make a clear blue solution.  
3. Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.  
Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate. The swing-out basket  
with the black filter basket in place should be closed.  
4.  
Turn your coffeemaker on.  
5.  
6. When the blue solution has stopped flowing, turn your coffeemaker  
off.  
7. Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter, lid and  
black basket.  
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.  
Fill the decanter to the bottom of the silver band with undiluted white  
household vinegar. Pour the vinegar into your coffeemaker.  
2. Place a 4-cup filter into the brew funnel and close the swing-out  
basket.  
3.  
Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate and turn the cof-  
feemaker on. Watch the cup markings as the vinegar flows into the  
decanter. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker  
off and let stand for l/2 hour.  
4.  
5.  
After l/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker.  
Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate. Turn the coffeemaker  
on and let all of the vinegar flow through.  
6. Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.  
7.  
To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water  
into the coffeemaker and allow it all to cycle through.  
8.  
Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker off. Repeat steps #7 and  
#8.  
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 for about 20 minutes  
and then discard.  
.
2. 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.
