5. Maintenance and Care

Proper cleaning and care will extend the life of your replacement coffee pot:

• Cleaning: The glass carafe and lid are dishwasher safe. For best results and to prevent mineral buildup, wash after each use.
• Hand Washing: If hand washing, use a soft sponge or cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass.
• Heat Resistance: The carafe is made from heat-resistant glass, suitable for use on your coffee maker's warming plate. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot carafe directly into cold water, which could cause thermal shock and breakage.
• Storage: Store the carafe in a safe place where it will not be easily knocked over or dropped.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your replacement coffee pot, consider the following:

• Carafe Does Not Fit: Double-check the compatibility list in Section 2. Ensure your Mr. Coffee model is listed. Verify the height and base diameter of your original carafe against the replacement.
• Coffee Tastes Weak: Some replacement carafes may have slightly different measurement markings than your original. If your coffee tastes weaker, try adjusting the amount of water or coffee grounds used. For example, if the new carafe's '4 cup' mark results in more volume than your old carafe's '4 cup' mark, you may need to use less water or more coffee.
• Leakage: Ensure the lid is securely placed on the carafe and that the carafe is properly seated on the coffee maker's warming plate. Inspect the carafe for any cracks or damage that could cause leaks.
• Drip-Stop Not Activating: Confirm the carafe's lid is correctly positioned to engage with your coffee maker's drip-stop mechanism. If the lid is misaligned, coffee may continue to drip when the carafe is removed.
