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 exten-  
sion 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  
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or  
tripped over accidentally.

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.

ting you know the AUTO START time is being set.

To Brew Automatically at the Pre-Set Time  
1. Follow steps #1 through #5 in the “Brewing Coffee” section of these instructions.  
2. Press the SELECT button until the AUTO START light is illuminated, then release.  
The AUTO START light will remain lit. The coffeemaker will automatically start brew-  
ing at the pre-set time.  
To Check the Auto Start Time  
Press and hold the AUTO button until the AUTO START light flashes. The pre-set  
time will appear in the clock display. After seven seconds the clock display will return  
to the current time.  
To Brew Four Cups or Less (Small Batch Mode)  
If you are only brewing four cups or less, press and hold the SELECT button until the  
AUTO START light and the 1-4 CUP lights are both illuminated. This mode extends  
the brewing cycle by approximately 30% to ensure optimal saturation of the coffee  
IMPORTANT  
Clean Your Mr. Coffee Coffeemaker Before Using the First Time!

Brewing Coffee  
If the clock display is flashing, see page 5 to set the clock.  
1. Open the swivel basket to your left. Insert a Mr. Coffee® brand paper filter into the  
black inner filter basket.  
2. Add desired amount of coffee according to the coffee measurement chart found  
below. Shake lightly to level coffee.  
3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before closing the filter basket.  
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 silver band. To brew 12 cups, fill the decanter to the bottom of the  
pouring spout.  
For easy and accurate filling, cup markings can also be found inside the reservoir.  
5. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Place the empty decanter onto the  
warmer plate.  
6. Press and hold the SELECT button until the red ON indicator light illuminates. When  
the coffee stops flowing, the audible signal will beep five times to let you know that  
the brewing cycle is complete. The ON light will remain illuminated after the brew  
cycle is complete to indicate that the warming plate is still hot.  
7. Carefully remove the black inner 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 OVER-  
FLOW, 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 NOT OPEN OR HANDLE BASKET. UNPLUG COFFEEMAKER, AND WAIT FOR CONTENTS TO  
COOL BEFORE HANDLING!  
SUGGESTED COFFEE MEASUREMENT  
For the best results, use drip grind recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers.

6 tbls. or 3 scoops  
6 cups  
4 cups

3 tbls. or 1-1/2 scoops  
2 cups  
* Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.  
2 level tablespoons = 1 level scoop  
1 cup = 5 oz. brewed coffee  
Automatic Pause ’N Serve Drip Stop Valve  
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 warmer plate once the brew cycle  
is completed.  
TO PREVENT INJURY FROM HOT OVERFLOW, REPLACE DECANTER WITHIN 30 SEC-  
ONDS IF REMOVED DURING BREWING. IF THE DECANTER IS NOT REPLACED WITHIN 30  
SECONDS, THE FILTER BASKET WILL FILL WITH WATER AND OVERFLOW.  
Automatic Shut-Off  
After four hours the coffeemaker will beep three times then automatically shut off.  
To Adjust the Warming Plate Temperature  
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.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS  
Your PRX30/PRX33 coffeemaker will notify you when cleaning is required. After  
one minute into the brewing cycle the electronic controls will decide if the coffeemaker  
needs cleaning. If it does, the CLEAN mode light will begin to flash.  
If the CLEAN mode light flashes, clean the coffeemaker before the next brew  
cycle. Failure to clean the coffeemaker when indicated could result in excessive steaming  
and increased brewing time.  
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL  
Type of Water  
Soft Water  
Hard Water  
Cleaning Frequency  
every 80 brew cycles  
every 40 brew cycles  
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE CLEANER or vinegar.  
For best results use MR. COFFEE CLEANER. It is superior to vinegar and has no  
unpleasant odor.  
Using Mr. Coffee® Cleaner  
(Read caution statement on side panel of Mr. Coffee Cleaner box before use)  
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 fil-  
ter basket 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 auto-  
matically 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 acheived, repeat the cleaning steps 1-8.  
Using Vinegar  
1. Pour 1 quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker.  
2. Place a filter into the black filter basket and close the swivel basket.  
3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and press and hold the SELECT but-  
ton until the CLEAN light illuminates. When three cups have flowed through, press  
the SELECT button to turn off the CLEAN light. Let stand for 1/2 hour.  
4. After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker. Place the empty decanter  
on the warming plate.  
5. Press and hold the SELECT button until the CLEAN light is illuminated. Let the clean  
mode run to completion.  
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 cof-  
feemaker, turn it ON (red “ON” light illuminated), and allow it all to cycle through.  
8. Discard the water and turn coffeemaker OFF. Repeat steps 7-8.  
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 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.  
Decanter and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe.
