CLEANING AND MAINTAINING
YOUR COFFEEMAKER

Daily Cleaning

Always unplug the coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning.
Remove the filter basket, coffee chamber, and chamber lid and wash them
in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap.
Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.
CAUTION! Never immerse the coffeemaker itself in water, in any
other liquid or place in the dishwasher.
Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker minerals (calcium/limestone)
found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and affect its
performance. It's recommended that you regularly remove the deposits using
vinegar or a coffee cleaning solution.
1. Pour 4 cups or 20 fluid ounces of undiluted, white household vinegar into
the water reservoir.
NOTE: If using a cleaning solution please follow the package instructions.
2. Place an empty paper filter or permanent filter into the brew basket and
slide the brew basket into place.
3. Ensure the coffee chamber is assembled and inserted to the bottom of
the coffeemaker.
4. Press the brew button and allow three cups to brew and shut off the unit.
5. Let the coffeemaker stand for 30 minutes.
6. Turn the coffeemaker back on and allow the remainder of the cleaning
solution to finish.
7. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the coffee chamber with clean
water.
8. Fill the water reservoir with 10-12 cups of fresh, clean water.
9. Assemble and place the coffee chamber back into the coffeemaker.
10. Discard the paper filter from the brew basket or thoroughly rinse
the permanent filter that was used during the brew cycle.
11. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
12. Repeat steps 7-11 one more time before brewing your next serving
of hot coffee.
