IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons,

including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the coffeemaker.

• Do not touch the coffeemaker’s hot surfaces.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the power cord,

power plug or coffeemaker in water or other liquid.

• Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by

or near children.

• Turn the coffeemaker off and unplug the power cord from the power

source when the coffeemaker or clock are not in use and before cleaning.

Allow the coffeemaker parts to cool before putting on or taking off parts

and before cleaning the appliance.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or operate

it after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

Return this appliance only to the nearest authorized service center for

examination, repair or adjustment.

• The use of accessory attachments other than MR. COFFEE®brand may cause

hazards or injuries.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter

or allow it to come in contact with hot surfaces.

• Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or

in a heated oven.

• To disconnect, turn the coffeemaker OFF, then remove the power plug

from wall outlet.

• Do not use the coffeemaker for other reasons than its intended use.

• Place the coffeemaker on a hard, flat level surface to avoid interruption

of air flow underneath the appliance.

• This coffeemaker is designed for household use only.

Decanter Use and Care

Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking

the decanter:

–

This decanter is designed for use with your MR. COFFEE®coffeemaker and therefore

must never be used on a rangetop or in any oven, including a microwave oven.

– Do not set a hot decanter on a wet or cold surface.

– Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter having a loose or weakened handle.

– Do not clean the decanter with abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or

other abrasive materials.

– Discard the decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.

– Protect the decanter from sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.

Warning:

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove

any service covers. There are no user serviceable parts

inside the coffeemaker. Only authorized personnel

should repair the coffeemaker.

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 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.

Brewing Coffee

Clean the Coffeemaker Before First Use

Follow the steps under “Adding Water and Ground Coffee” and “Brewing Coffee Now,”

(Pages 4 – 7) but do not add coffee grounds.

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee

For best results, use coffee ground for use with automatic drip coffeemakers.

The amounts shown below are suggested amounts.

To Brew Use This Amount of Ground Coffee

12 cups 11 tablespoons or 5-1/2 scoops

10 cups 9 tablespoons or 4-1/2 scoops

8 cups 7 tablespoons or 3-1/2 scoops

6 cups 6 tablespoons or 3 scoops

4 cups 5 tablespoons or 2-1/2 scoops

2 cups 3 tablespoons or 1-1/2 scoops

• two level tablespoons = one level scoop

• one cup = five ounces brewed coffee

4) Be certain that the filter is centered in the

filter basket. Close the brew basket.

5) Fill the water reservoir with the desired amount

of tap water.

Use the water window marks to measure the

water, not the decanter marks. The decanter

marks measure brewed coffee only.

6) Place the decanter on the warming plate.

Make sure the decanter is accurately

centered 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.

Do not brew coffee while the brew basket

lid is open.

Brewing Coffee Now

For Models AR12 and AR13:

Push the switch to ON.

The ON/OFF switch will light, indicating that the

coffeemaker is On and the brew cycle will begin.

When the coffee stops flowing, the brew cycle

is complete.

While the coffee is brewing, the Pause ‘n

Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup

of coffee from the decanter. REPLACE THE

DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN

30 SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND

POSSIBLE INJURY.

To turn Off the coffeemaker, press the ON/OFF

switch to Off.

If the brew basket overflows or fails

to empty into the decanter, do not

open the brew basket. Unplug the

coffeemaker and wait for the contents

to cool before handling.

For Models ARX20 and ARX23:

Slide the switch to On. Press the

brew button when ready to start brewing.

To turn the coffeemaker Off,

slide the switch to Off.

Your Coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot

for 2 hours, then automatically shut off.
