Decanter Use and Care

Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking the decanter:

- This decanter is designed for use with your MR. COFFEE® coffeemaker and therefore must never be used on a rangetop or in any oven, including a microwave oven.

- Do not set a hot decanter on a wet or cold surface.

- Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter having a loose or weakened handle.

- Do not clean the decanter with abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.

- Discard the decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.

- Protect the decanter from sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any service covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside the coffeemaker. Only authorized personnel should repair the coffeemaker.

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 extension 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Cleaning the Coffeemaker Before First Use

Follow the steps below under "Adding Water and Ground Coffee" and "Brewing Coffee Now," but do not add coffee grounds.

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee

For best results, use coffee ground for use with automatic drip coffeemakers. The amounts shown below are suggested amounts.

Number of Cups Tablespoons
12	9
10 7.5
8	6
6	4.5
4	3
2	1.5
One cup = Five ounces brewed coffee

Adding Water and Ground Coffee

1) Swing open the brew basket and, if desired, lift out the removable filter insert.

If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush against the sides of the filter insert. If filter collapse occurs, for best results, dampen the filter before placing it in the brew basket and adding ground coffee. Also, for best performance of your filters, be sure to fold the seam at the bottom of the filter and the tab that is located at the top of the filter.

2) Place a MR. COFFEE ^® brand 8-12 cup paper filter or a MR. COFFEE ^® permanent filter in the filter basket.

3) Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. Gently shake the filter insert to level the ground coffee.

4) Be certain that the filter is centered in the filter insert. Close the brew basket.

5) Fill the water reservoir with the desired amount of tap water.

6) Place the decanter on the warming plate.

Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and grounds will overflow from the brew basket.

An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.

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.

Do not brew coffee while the brew basket lid is open.

Brewing Coffee Now

For Switch Models:

Push the switch so the light illuminates.

This light indicates that the coffeemaker is On and the brew cycle will begin. When the coffee stops flowing, the brew cycle is complete.

Simple line drawing of a steaming cup (no text or symbols)

While the coffee is brewing, the Pause 'n Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the decanter. REPLACE THE DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN 30 SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND POSSIBLE INJURY.

To turn Off the coffeemaker, push the switch so the light is no longer illuminated. Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours and then automatically shut off (Models ESS10 and ESS11 Switch Coffeemakers only.)

If the brew basket overflows or fails to empty into the decanter, do not open the brew basket. Turn off the coffeemaker. Unplug the coffeemaker and wait for the contents to cool before handling.

Brewing Coffee Later

For Programmable Models:

You must set the time for when you would like the coffeemaker to begin brewing your coffee.

1) While the coffeemaker is off, press and hold the SET DELAY button.

2) While pressing and holding the SET DELAY button, press and hold the HOUR button until the clock displays the hour you desire. The PM indicator will light to indicate a PM time; if the PM indicator is not lit, the time is AM.

3) While still pressing and holding the SET DELAY button, press and hold the MIN. button until the clock displays the correct minute.

4) Release the SET DELAY button. The DELAY BREW time is now set.

5) Press the DELAY BREW button to activate the DELAY BREW mode.

The DELAY BREW indicator will light. The delay timer is set and the coffeemaker will begin brewing the coffee at the time you selected.

If you want your coffee to brew at the same time the following day, simply add the desired amount of ground coffee, fill the water reservoir and press DELAY BREW.

Important: Resetting Delay Brew at the Pre-Set Time

Due to a safety feature included in this unit, the programmable timer will not automatically brew the next day after its last use. If the Delay Indicator Light in the lower left hand corner of the clock display is not illuminated, then you will need to reset the DELAY BREW feature by pressing the DELAY BREW button.

The programmable timer will not automatically brew the next day if left in the AUTO position after its last use. This is a safety feature. If the OFF indicator light in the lower right hand corner of the clock display is illuminated, reset AUTO BREW by turning the control switch to OFF, then to AUTO. (Models ESX20, ESX23, ESX20D, ESX23D Only)

Setting Clock and Timer

(Programmable Models Only)

Note: You do not have to set your clock before the Coffeemaker will operate. Plug in the power cord, press SELECT once to turn the Coffeemaker on. The ON light will illuminate and the clock will stop flashing, but it will not keep time.

Setting the Clock

1. Plug the power cord into your electrical outlet. The clock display will flash until you set the time.
2. Alternately press and hold the HOUR and MINUTE buttons until you reach the current time.
3. The PM indicator light in the display will illuminate to indicate PM time.

Presetting the Brewing Time

1. You must first set the clock to the correct time before setting the desired time for Delay Brew.
2. Press the SET/DELAY button, then alternately press the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to set the time you want the Coffeemaker to start brewing. The Delay Indicator Light will flash during this time.
3. Press the SET/DELAY button again to turn off the flashing light. If the Delay Indicator Light is not flashing, pressing the HOUR or MINUTE buttons will change the clock time.

Brewing Automatically at the Preset Time

1. Follow Steps 1 – 5 in the “Brewing” Section.
2. Press the SELECT button. The Delay Indicator Light should illuminate.
3. Brewing will begin at the preset time. The coffee will remain hot in the decanter for 2 hours. To keep your coffee hot for an additional 2 hours, press the SELECT button. The ON indicator light should illuminate.

Brewing Coffee

If the clock display is flashing, refer to Section "Setting the Clock" before continuing.

1. Open the swing-out brew basket to your left. Insert a MR. COFFEE ^® filter into the removable black inner brew basket.
2. Add desired amount of coffee, referring to the Coffee Measurement Chart. Shake lightly to level coffee.
3. Be sure the paper filter is centered before closing the brew basket.
4. Fill the decanter with cold water to desired capacity as marked on the side of the decanter. (1 cup = 5 oz).
5. Pour water into your carafe. Note: For easy and accurate filling, please refer to cup size markings located on the carafe. Pour the water into the water reservoir and then place the empty carafe onto the warmer plate.
6. Turn your Coffeemaker switch to ON. When the coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete.
7. Carefully remove the black inner brew basket and discard the used grounds and filter. Rinse the black brew basket and replace. Note: Remove decanter from the warming plate before opening the swivel basket. This will prevent the drip stop valve from catching on the decanter lid.
8. To make another pot of coffee, repeat Steps 1 – 7.
9. Turn your Coffeemaker off when the decanter is empty.

Warning: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result of overflow, be sure the decanter is squarely centered under the brew basket during the brewing cycle. Brewed coffee and grounds, both in brew basket and decanter, are very hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding. If brew basket overflows, or if brew basket fails to drain into decanter during brew cycle, do not open or handle basket. Unplug Coffeemaker and wait for contents to cool before handling.

Brewing 1 – 4 Cups (Models ESX30, ESX33 Only)

If you want to brew 4 cups or less, the 1–4 Cup mode will slow the brewing cycle to ensure optimal saturation of the ground coffee beans.

Note: Use only the proper amount of ground coffee and fill the water reservoir with 4 cups or less of water.

1. Press the SELECT button twice.
2. The ON and 1 – 4 Cup Indicator Lights should be illuminated.

If you want to brew 4 cups or less at a preset time, follow Steps 1–3 in the “Presetting Your Brewer” section.

1. Press the SELECT button twice.
2. The ON and 1 – 4 Cup Indicator Lights should be illuminated.

Adjusting the Warmer Plate Temperature

(Models ESX30, ESX33 Only)

After the coffee is brewed, you can keep the coffee at your preferred temperature. Turn the Warmer Temp knob clockwise to increase the temperature, or turn counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. To maintain a constant temperature, you may need to lower the warmer plate temperature as you decrease the amount of coffee in the pot. DO NOT allow the decanter to boil dry. This will damage the decanter.

Audible Indicators (Models ESX30, ESX33 Only)

When the Coffeemaker is finished brewing and your coffee is ready, your Coffeemaker will beep five times.

Just before the Coffeemaker shuts off automatically, it will beep three times. Upon completion of the clean cycle, the Coffeemaker will beep once.

Cleaning

Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming, the cleaning cycle indicator light is blinking during normal brewing cycles, or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, the appliance requires cleaning.

The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives a suggested cleaning schedule.

Suggested Cleaning Interval

Type of Water Cleaning Frequency

Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles

Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles

Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned 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).

Cleaning the Decanter

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter. Coffee and tea may then turn this stain brown.

To remove decanter stains:

1) Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.

2) Discard the solution and wash and rinse the decanter.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the decanter; scratches may cause the decanter to break.
