Turn your coffee maker over so that the base is facing up.

Step 2

Locate the seven 13.5mm screws securing the base to the coffee maker.
Unscrew the screws using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
Use a screwdriver with a magnetic tip to more easily remove the three screws in the back and two in the middle.

Step 3 security screws

Also the front two screws are safety screws: they have a 6 sided star shape with a raised dimple in the center to prevent homebodies from casually opening the machine. (probably from the Sunbeam’s (owns Mr. Coffee) legal dept.) Anyway you will need a security bit to remove the screws and not a phillips screw driver.

Step 4

Lift base to remove.
If the base sticks along one edge, do not pull at an angle. Gently tug straight up while sliding a finger along the edge in order to pop the clips.
