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.
