This document is a user manual for the Mr. Coffee BVMC-EM Series 12-cup programmable coffeemaker, model number ART0000866080 REV B / NWL0001314187. It provides instructions for setup, operation, and maintenance of the appliance.

Function Description:

The Mr. Coffee BVMC-EM Series coffeemaker is designed to brew coffee automatically. It features a 12-cup capacity, programmable settings, and an automatic cleaning cycle. Users can choose to brew coffee immediately ("Brew Now") or set a delayed brew time ("Brew Later"). A "Strong Brew" function allows for a richer, bolder coffee flavor by slowing down the brewing process to fully saturate the grounds. The coffeemaker also includes a "Freshness Timer" to display how long it has been since the coffee was brewed, illuminating in 1-hour segments for up to 4 hours before automatically turning off. An "Automatic Cleaning Cycle" is integrated to help maintain the coffeemaker's performance by decalcifying it.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific electrical ratings (voltage, wattage) are not explicitly stated in the provided pages, the manual mentions that the appliance has a polarized plug, indicating it is designed for North American electrical outlets. It also notes that the power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should have an electrical rating at least as great as the appliance's rating. The carafe capacity is 12 cups, with 1 cup equating to 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee. The cleaning cycle takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Usage Features:

• 12-Cup Capacity: Brews up to 12 cups of coffee.
• Programmable: Allows users to set a desired brew time for later use.
• Automatic Cleaning Cycle: Initiates a cleaning process to decalcify the coffeemaker.
• Brew Now/Off Button: Starts immediate brewing or turns the coffeemaker off.
• Brew Later Button: Sets a delayed brew time.
• Strong Brew Button: Activates a function to produce a bolder coffee flavor.
• Hour/Minute Buttons: Used to set the clock and the "Brew Later" time.
• Clock Display: Shows the current time and the "Brew Later" time when setting.
• AM/PM Indicator: Differentiates between morning and afternoon times.
• Freshness Timer: Displays the elapsed time since brewing, up to 4 hours.
• Grab-a-cup Auto Pause: Allows users to pour a cup of coffee mid-brew without drips.
• Water Reservoir Lid: Covers the water reservoir.
• Warming Plate: Keeps the carafe of brewed coffee warm.
• Water Filtration System (Optional): Some models include a carbon-based water filter disk to remove chlorine and improve coffee taste. This disk should be changed monthly (approx. 30 brewing cycles).
• Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart: Provides guidance on the amount of ground coffee to use for different cup quantities.
• Water Window: Helps users check the water level in the reservoir.
• Reusable Coffee Filter (Optional): Some models may include a reusable filter, otherwise, 8-12 cup paper filters are recommended.

Maintenance Features:

• Daily Cleaning: The brew basket and carafe should be washed with mild detergent and water after each use. They are top-rack dishwasher safe. The Advanced Water Filtration cartridge should not be washed with soap.
• Decalcification (Clean Function): The coffeemaker features a "Clean" indicator that illuminates after approximately 90 brew cycles (or 80 cycles for soft water, 40 cycles for hard water) to prompt decalcification. The process involves removing the water filtration system, pouring 4 cups (20 fl. oz.) of undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir, placing an empty paper filter or reusable filter in the brew basket, and pressing the "CLEAN" button. After the 45-minute cleaning cycle, the carafe should be rinsed, and the coffeemaker should be run through two full brew cycles with clean water to rinse thoroughly.
• Water Filter Disk Replacement: The carbon-based water filter disk should be replaced monthly. The red indicator on the filter frame helps track the replacement schedule.
• Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as the "BREW NOW" light not illuminating, coffee not brewing, slow brewing, filter basket overflowing, coffee not being hot, or coffee tasting bad. Solutions range from plugging in the unit, checking for power outages, filling the water reservoir, correctly inserting the brew basket, adjusting coffee grounds, or performing a cleaning cycle.
