Brewing

Important: Clean Before Using the First Time!
Wash decanter, lid and removable filter basket in mild
detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
Follow steps 5 through 7 below (with water only) to clean
the inside of your coffeemaker.
1. Open the reservoir lid by lifting the tab at the front, swing
the showerhead to the right and lift out the brew basket
using the convenient finger loop handle.
2. Insert a Mr.Coffee ® paper filter into the filter basket and
add the desired amout of coffee according to the mea-
surement chart found below. Shake lightly to level the
coffee.
3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before
inserting the filter basket inside the water reservoir. When
inserted correctly, the finger loop handle should be facing
the front of the coffeemaker.
For the best results, use level tablespoons (Tbsp.) of drip
grind, recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers.
Remember to use more or less coffee to suit your taste.

6. A convenient water level window is positioned on the right side of the
coffeemaker reservoir. The red ball will rise within the water tube and will
indicate approximately how many cups of water have been poured into
the reservoir.
7. Turn your coffeemaker switch ON. The switch body will
glow red indicating the unit is on. When coffee stops
flowing, the brewing cycle is complete.

the reservoir lid and swing the showerhead to the right.
Carefully remove the filter basket and discard the used
coffee grounds and filter. Rinse the filter basket and
replace.

Decanter Use and Care
Breakage may occur if the following instructions are not followed:
• Use only decanters specifically designed for Oster models.
• This decanter is designed for use with your Oster coffeemaker and there-
fore must never be used on a rangetop or in any oven, including
a microwave.
• Do not use a hot decanter on a wet or
cold surface.
• Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter
with a loose or weakened handle.
• Do not clean the decanter with cleansers, steel wool pads or other
abrasive materials.
• Discard decanter immediately if it is ever
boiled dry.
• Avoid sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.

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:
• Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
