PREPARING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR USE

. Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all packaging materials.
Before making coffee in your new Oster@ coffee maker, thoroughly clean the carafe,
l
carafe lid and filter basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners.
You may wipe the warming plate with a clean, damp cloth. However, do not immerse the
l
coffee maker in water or other liquid.
Prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate coffee maker once or twice with water
l
but without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have
settled inside the coffee maker which might affect the flavor of coffee.
IMPORTANT: Use cold water for best results.
