the coffeemaker is brewing. Be sure to put the water in the  
coffeemaker first, before selecting “Brewer On”. To prevent  
damage, the machine will shut off if you have selected “Brewer  
On” and there is no water in the machine.  
7. The brewing cycle is completed when the “Brewer On” light  
goes off and the “Warmer On” light is on.  
Note: The adjustable temperature warmer plate will keep your  
coffee at the temperature you select for up to five hours. For  
normal usage, always keep the red dot on the temperature  
dial knob within the red temperature range. The setting of  
the temperature dial may affect the automatic shut off of The  
Expert. If the temperature setting is too high, The Expert may

8. Discard the used grounds and filter. Rinse the brew funnel  
and slide it back into position.  
9. To make another pot of coffee, turn the coffeemaker off by  
depressing the SELECT button until all operating lights are

Simply depress the SELECT button until all operating lights  
are off.  
The Warmer Plate Temperature Dial  
The warmer temperature dial on this coffeemaker was preset at  
the factory to keep your coffee at approximately 185 degrees. On  
most machines, the red dot on the dial will point to the 1 o’clock  
position. This temperature is hot enough for most people, and  
will preserve good flavor.  
FOR HOTTER COFFEE, simply turn the dial clockwise, but use  
caution. Higher temperatures cause more rapid flavor breakdown,  
and risk scalding. If the temperature setting is high enough to  
cause a burnt flavor, the coffeemaker will automatically shut off,  
prematurely.  
CAUTION: YOUR MACHINE MAY SHUT OFF PREMATURELY if  
there Is less than two cups of coffee left and the warmer temperature  
setting Is too high for the amount of coffee left. Simply turn the  
temperature down and turn your coffeemaker back on to “Warmer  
On”.  
FOR COOLER COFFEE, and even better flavor retention, simply  
turn the dial counter-clockwise.  
Note: The Expert may not always shut off when the decanter Is  
removed from the warmer plate If the warmer temperature settlng  
is too low. If this situation occurs, simply turn the temperature  
up slightly by rotating the dial clockwise.  
Intelligent Automatic Shut-Off  
The Expert features the most advanced automatic shut off found  
on any household coffeemaker. By sensing temperature as well  
as time, The Expert will automatically shut off when:  
1. the decanter is empty,  
2. the decanter is removed from the warmer plate for more than  
20 minutes,  
3. there is less than two cups of coffee in the decanter and the  
warmer temperature setting is too high for the amount of coffee  
left. See “CAUTION”, above.

Cleaning Light  
Mineral deposits in your water affect the performance of your  
coffeemaker. A build up of deposits will slow the brewing cycle  
and cause your coffee to become bitter.  
When the Cleaning Light is on, the machine should be cleaned,  
immediately. The light will remain on, in between brewing cycles,  
until your coffeemaker is cleaned.  
Note: jn some instances, mineral build up may flake off and clog  
the inside of your coffeemaker before the cleaning light turns on.  
You will know when you begin to notice an increase in steaming.  
Clean your coffeemaker, immediately.  
How To Use The Electronic Cleaning Cycle  
For convenience and efficiency, The Expert’s built-in cleaning  
cycle is designed to clean your machine slowly and thoroughly  
while unattended and will shut itself off automatically when the  
cleaning cycle has completed.  
To clean your coffeemaker, use MR. COFFEE CLEANER or  
undiluted vinegar. For best results, use MR. COFFEE CLEANER.  
It cleans better than 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 warm water to the 5 cup mark.  
2. Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE CLEANER into  
the decanter and stir until the cleaner is completely dissolved.  
This will make a clear blue solution.  
3. Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.  
4. Place a Mr. Coffee filter in the brew funnel and slide funnel  
back into place. Place empty decanter with lid on the warming  
plate.  
5. Set the “Warmer Temperature” dial to  
CLEAN by rotating the dial to the right until  
it stops, see figure #3, and depress the  
SELECT button until the”Warmer On” light  
glows.  
6. The cleaning solution is pumped very  
Figure 3  
slowly through the machine to thoroughly  
clean out all mineral deposit build-up.  
7. When all of the 5 cups of blue solution has been pumped  
back out turn the coffeemaker off by depressing the SELECT  
button until all operating lights are off. If left unattended, The  
Expert will shut itself off automatically in approximately 1-  
2 hours.  
10  
8. Discard the blue solution and used filter.  
9. Be sure to rinse out all traces of the blue solution in your  
coffeemaker by running a decanter of water only (no cleaning  
solution) through the coffeemaker in the “Brewer On” mode.  
10. Continue to rinse out the unit, decanter and brew funnel until  
there is no trace of the blue solution.  
11. At this time the Cleaning Light should be off. If not, repeat  
the above cleaning steps with a second packet of Mr. Coffee  
Cleaner.  
12. Reset Warmer Temperature Dial to desired warmer  
temperature.  
Using vinegar:  
1. Perform the cleaning steps above using 1 quart of undiluted  
white household vinegar instead of Mr. Coffee Cleaner.  
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. Pour warm white vinegar in the decanter and let it soak for  
20 minutes.  
2. Discard the vinegar. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly  
using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. They  
will cause scratches which can lead to breakage.  
1 1  
What To Do /f  
1. The coffeemaker overflows when I make coffee:  
The Expert’s electronic brewing cycle brews up to 35% faster  
than other coffeemakers. The use of the wrong filter may cause  
overflow. Use Mr. Coffee brand filters, only. Mr. Coffee filters  
have a fast flow rate.  
Make sure the decanter is properly placed on the warmer plate.  
If improperly placed, it may not activate the pause ‘n serve  
feature, and cause overflow in the brew funnel.  
The Expert decanter is specially designed to fit this coffeemaker  
and to activate the pause ‘n serve feature. The use of other  
decanters will cause the brew funnel to overflow. When  
replacing the decanter, be sure to purchase The Expert  
decanter, Models #ED1 (white) or #ED3 (black).  
2. Machine shuts off while I’m trying to brew coffee:  
1. Be sure to pour the water in the machine first, before brewing  
coffee. If there is no water in the machine and you turn  
the machine on to brew, the machine will shut off to prevent  
damage.  
2. When the brewing is complete, the control panel light will  
switch from “brewer on” to “warmer on” to indicate that  
your coffee is ready and is in the warming mode.  
3. Machine shuts itself off prematurely:  
By sensing temperature as well as time, The Expert will  
automatically shut off when the decanter is empty, the decanter  
is removed from the warmer plate for more than 20 minutes,  
there is less than two cups of coffee in the decanter, the  
decanter is not properly placed on the warmer plate or in about  
five hours, whichever comes first.  
If the temperature dial is set too high, The Expert may shut  
off prematurely. Simply turn the temperature down by rotating  
the dial counter-clockwise and turn your coffeemaker back  
on to “Warmer On”.  
4. Machine does not automatically shut off:  
If the temperature dial is set too low, The Expert may not  
automatically shut off. Move the adjustable warmer temper-  
ature dial to the right so that the dot on the dial is lined up  
in the 1 o’clock position. If the machine does not turn off in  
20 minutes, advance the dial slightly to the right.  
5. I just cleaned my coffeemaker and the cleaning light is on:  
Repeat the cleaning process. For best results, use Mr. Coffee  
Cleaner.
