Setting up the Mueller Brew MLR010016N is easy and straightforward. Start by unboxing the coffee maker and placing it on a flat and dry surface. Make sure to plug it into a power outlet.

Once you have added the coffee grounds, close the lid and select your desired brewing settings. Finally, press the start button to begin the brewing process.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Lift up the Top Lid, remove all removable parts such as Permanent Filter, Funnel and Carafe, and wash them with warm soapy water.
  NOTE: Do not put any water in the unit once the Filter and Funnel have been removed. Wipe that area with a damp cloth.
• Never immerse the unit in water or other liquid. To clean the exterior surface, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth, and dry before storing.
• Water droplets may buildup in the area above the Funnel and drip onto the product base during brewing. To prevent the buildup, wipe off the area with a clean, dry cloth after each use.
• Use a clean, damp cloth to clean the Warming Plate. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the Warming Plate.
• Do not dry the inside of the Water Tank with a cloth, as lint may remain.
• Keep your Coffee Maker in a dry and cool place.

REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS

Depending on the mineral content of your water, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your coffee machine. We recommend regular descaling of your Coffee Maker every 3–6 months to help maintain the heating element and other internal parts that come in contact with water. Calcium deposits may build up faster, making it necessary to descale more often.

1. Fill the Water Tank with a water-vinegar (1:1 ratio) solution of 3.4 oz (100 ml) white vinegar and 3.4 oz (100 ml) clean water. You may also use citric acid to create the descaler solution by mixing 3.4 oz (100 ml) of water with 0.1 oz (3 ml) of citric acid.
2. Make sure the Funnel and the Filter are in place.
3. Place a coffee cup onto the Warming Plate.
4. Start a brew cycle by pressing the “On/Off” button, until it start to brew hot water to Carafe for around 10–30 seconds, press the “On/Off” button to pause and let the solution set for 30–60 minute, depending on how much build-up you need to remove.
5. After 30–60 minutes, press the “On/Off” button again and let the brew cycle finish.
6. Perform the brew cycles until there is no more water-vinegar solution inside the Water Tank, allowing your Coffee Maker to cool between brews.
7. If scale is still present in the Coffee Maker, repeat steps 1–6.
8. Rinse the Funnel, Filter, and Water Tank with water a couple of times.
9. Finally, the appliance needs to be cleaned with water to remove the descaling solution. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water to the MAX fill line and perform the brew cycle until the Water Tank is empty, allowing your Coffee Maker to cool between brews.

TIPS & COFFEE BEST PRACTICES

• Always use fresh, cold water in the Coffee Maker.
• For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the Coffee Maker as specified in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section.
• Store the coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee powder, reseal it tightly and store it.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds since this will significantly reduce the flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended because coffee is at its ultimate flavor right after brewing.
