A Must

Your coffeemaker must be delimed when you begin to notice an

used. The following table gives the recommended cleaning

intervals.

Decanter Cleaning .

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 hot white vinegar solution and let it soak.

2. Let it stand 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 will cause scratches

which can lead to breakage.

Helpful Hints

Use only genuine Mr. Coffee I-cup filters for best brewing

performance. The use of chemically softened water can inhibit

proper filtration. This will affect the beverage flavor and will cause

a long drip time from the brew funnel. Avoid using chemically

softened water.
