OPERATION AND USE
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the first time, follow these easy cleaning instructions.
W ARNING : To prevent injury from steam, do not plug the unit in until water is in the
reservoir, lid is closed, and the pitcher is in place.
1. Wash pitcher/lid, tea steeping basket, coffee brew basket, using a mild, non-abrasive
detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
2. Next fill pitcher with water to the top water level mark on the pitcher. Lift the reservoir lid,
remove the brew basket. Pour water into the reservoir. Replace brew basket. Do not overfill.
3. Rotate the shower head so that it is over the brew basket. Close lid.
4. Place the pitcher lid onto the pitcher. Open the spout cover. Slide the pitcher against
the machine (spout-first) under the machine.
5. Plug cord into electrical outlet. Push “on” button. The indicator light will illuminate

If the “on” button is depressed before the machine is plugged into an outlet, this would
trigger the brewing cycle.

(See Illustration)
H ELPFUL H INTS
l Use only fresh, cold tap water in the machine.
l Use MR. COFFEE 8-12 cup basket filters for best brewing performance
l The steeping lever may be moved to the left for stronger tea or the the right for weaker tea,
to suit your taste. Additional tea bags may be needed when using herbal tea.
l Decaffeinated coffee, particularly with the use of chemically softened water,
can cause slower filtration.

l Use more or less coffee or tea to suit your taste.
l If your ice supply is low, you may substitute cold water. After filling the water reservoir
with the proper amount of water, refill the pitcher with cold tap water a second time
to the desired 1, 2, 3 quart Water Level. NOTE: Do not fill to the Ice Level as this
will cause an overflow.
l For excellent iced coffee, try dark roast coffee or other flavored coffee.
l Tea may turn cloudy as it chills due to tannic acids found in tea.
CLEANING
l To maintain the quality of all the parts and minimize tea and coffee stains, we recommend
washing the pitcher/lid, baskets/lid, with warm water and mild detergent after each use.
l Hard water can leave mineral deposits inside the pitcher and brew basket. To remove,
fill the brew basket and pitcher with warm white vinegar. Let soak for 20 minutes. Rinse.
l Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners. They will cause scratches which can lead
to breakage.
DELIMING
Your machine must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in steaming or
if the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of your water. Refer to chart.
To delime, follow these easy instructions.
1. Pour 1quart (32 oz.) of undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir.
2. Place the pitcher lid on the pitcher. Slide the pitcher under the machine.
3. Push the “on” button to begin brewing cycle. After 1 cup of vinegar has pumped
into the pitcher, unplug appliance. Let stand 30 minutes.
4. Re-plug the cord. Your machine will automatically continue to pump out the
remaining vinegar.
5. When your machine shuts off, unplug the cord, remove the pitcher. Discard the vinegar.
6. Fill the pitcher with clear tap water to the water level marked on the pitcher.
Repeat Steps 1-5 without vinegar. Repeat if necessary.
