Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1.
Swing open the brew basket and, if desired,
lift out the removable filter basket.
2.
Place a MR. COFFEE
®
brand #4 cone paper
filter or a MR. COFFEE
®
permanent filter
in the removable filter basket.
If using paper filters, it is important
that the sides of the filter fit flush
against the sides of the filter basket.
If filter collapse occurs, 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.

Add the desired amount of ground coffee
to the filter. Gently shake the filter basket
to level the ground coffee.
4.
Be certain that the filter is centered in the
filter basket. Close the brew basket.
5.
Open the water reservoir lid and fill with the
desired amount of water. Do not fill past the
overfill hole in the back of the reservoir.
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.
