Breakage may occur if the following instructions are not followed:
Use only decanters specifically designed for MR. COFFEE
®
Pause ‘n Serve models.
a. This decanter is designed for use with your MR. COFFEE

c. Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter with a loose or weakened handle.
d. Do not clean the decanter with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.
e. Discard decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.
f. Avoid sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.

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 a 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.

B REWING C OFFEE
1. Open the swing-out brew basket and insert a MR. COFFEE®paper filter into the inner filter basket.
2. Add desired amount of coffee according to the coffee measurement chart found on Page 9.
Shake lightly to level coffee.
3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before sliding the filter basket into place.
4. Fill the decanter with tap water to desired capacity as marked on the side of the decanter.
(1 cup equals 5 ounces) To brew 2 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the middle of the
metal band. For easy and accurate filling, line markings can be found inside the water reservoir.
5. Pour the water into the reservoir. Place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.
6. Turn your coffeemaker ON. When coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete.
7. Carefully remove the filter basket and discard the used grounds and filter. Rinse the filter basket
and replace.
8. To make another pot of coffee, repeat Steps 1 through 7.
9. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker OFF when the decanter is empty and you are no longer using
your coffeemaker. Unplug the power cord when not using the coffeemaker or clock.
WARNING
•To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result
of overflow, be sure that the decanter is squarely centered under
the brew basket during 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 no open or handle basket.
Unplug coffeemaker, and wait for contents to cool before handling!
I MPORTANT

A UTOMATIC P AUSE ‘ N S ERVE D RIP S TOP V ALVE
For your convenience, our Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 SECONDS to sneak a cup
while the coffee is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the filter basket from
dripping onto the warming plate once the brew cycle is completed.
A UTOMATIC S HUT -O FF
(PRX20, PRX23, PRX30 and PRX33 Only)
Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for two hours (four hours for Models PRX30 and
PRX33) and then automatically shut off. To keep your coffee hot for an additional two hours,
turn the unit OFF and then to ON. When your decanter is empty, turn your coffeemaker off
by turning the switch to OFF.
T O A DJUST THE W ARMING P LATE T EMPERATURE
(PRX30 and PRX33 Only)
After the coffee is brewed, you can keep it at just the right temperature. Use the Warmer
Temperature knob to adjust the warming plate temperature. Do not allow the decanter to boil dry.
This will damage the decanter.
C LEANING I NSTRUCTIONS
Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the brewing
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 the suggested cleaning intervals.

1. Fill the decanter with 4-5 decanter cups of warm water.
2. Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE®Cleaner into the decanter and stir with a plastic
or wooden spoon until the cleaner is completely dissolved. This will make a clear blue solution.
3. Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.
4. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. The swivel basket with the black filter insert
in place should be closed.
5. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CLEAN light is illuminated. You will notice that the
clean cycle is a bit slower than the brewing cycle. This is done automatically to give the cleaning
solution more time to clean.
6. At the end of the clean cycle, the audible signal will beep one time, the CLEAN light will go out
and the coffeemaker will shut off automatically.
7. Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter, lid and filter basket.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 with clean water (no blue solution). Using the regular “ON” mode,
continue to rinse out the unit until you see no remaining traces of the blue solution.
9. If a normal brewing flow is not achieved, repeat the cleaning Steps 1 – 8.
U SING V INEGAR
1. Pour one quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker.
2. Place a paper filter into the filter basket and slide the filter basket into place.
3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and turn the coffeemaker ON.
When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker OFF and let stand for 1/2 hour.
4. After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker.
5. Place the empty decanter on the warming 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,
turn it ON and allow it all to cycle through.
8. Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker OFF. Repeat Steps 7 and 8.

LEANING
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 solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
