S PECIAL C ORD S ET I NSTRUCTIONS
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.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Coffee Maker for the first time, wash decanter/lid and removable brew
basket (black) using a mild, non-abrasive detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
Follow steps 4-6 (Brewing Coffee) using water, to clean the inside.
SETTING CLOCK AND TIMER (NLX20, NLX20D, NLX23, NLX23D)
NOTE:You do not have to set your clock before the Coffee Maker will operate. Plug in the
power cord, slide the control lever to the “on” position. The green light will illuminate.
SETTING THE CLOCK
1. Turn the AUTO/OFF/ON switch to “OFF.”
2. Plug the power cord into your electrical outlet. The clock display will flash until
you set the time.
3. Alternately press and hold the “HOUR” and “MINUTE” buttons until you reach the
current time. The “PM” indicator light in the display will illuminate to indicate PM time.
PRESETTING THE BREWING TIME
1. Press and hold the “BREW” button while setting the desired brew time with the “HOUR”
and “MINUTE” buttons. The “PM” indicator light in the display will illuminate
to indicate PM time.
BREWING AUTOMATICALLY AT THE PRESET TIME
1. Follow steps 1-5 in the “brewing” section.
2. Turn the control switch to “OFF” and then to “AUTO.”
3. Brewing will begin at the time you have preset. The coffee will remain hot in
the decanter for 2 hours. To keep your coffee hot for an additional 2 hours,
turn the switch from “AUTO” to “ON”.
IMPORTANT: RESETTING AUTO BREW AT THE PRE-SET TIME
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.”

BREWING
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 the water into the water reservoir. NOTE:For easy and accurate filling, refer to cup
markings inside the reservoir. Place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.
6. Turn your Coffee Maker 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 Coffee Maker off when the decanter is empty. To turn off, slide the control
switch to the “OFF” position.
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 Coffee Maker
and wait for contents to cool before handling.

A UTOMATIC B REWING P AUSE N’ S ERVE – D RIP S TOP V ALVE
Our Brewing Pause N’ Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup while the
coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the brew basket from
dripping onto the warmer plate once brew cycle is complete.
WARNING:To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter within 30 seconds if
removed during brewing. If the decanter is not replaced within 30 seconds,
the filter basket will fill with water and overflow.
A UTOMATIC S HUT -O FF (Models NLX20, NLX20D, NLX23, NLX23D Only)
Your Coffee Maker will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours, then automatically shut off.
To keep your coffee hot for an additional 2 hours, slide the control switch to “OFF” and then
to “ON.” When your decanter is empty, turn Coffee Maker off by turning the switch to “OFF.”
C LEANING
Your Coffee Maker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming 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.
S UGGESTED C LEANING I NTERVAL
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
Your Coffee Maker 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 Affairs Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).

D ECANTER
Decanter and Lid Are Top-Rack Dishwasher Safe
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 easy steps.
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes. Discard.
3. Wash and rinse decanter thoroughly using soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive
cleaners. These may cause scratches and can lead to breakage.
