PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE

Place your Oster@ coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from any edge.
l
Plug the unit into a 120 volt 60Hz AC only outlet.
l
The lid of the glass carafe must be placed properly onto the carafe during the brewing
l
process and the carafe must be set on the warming plate.
The filter basket door must be properly closed during brewing process.
l
CAUTION: If the filter basket door is not completely closed,
the Pause & Serve feature will not function properly.
It could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at the top of
l
the coffee maker. Fill the glass carafe with the desired
amount of cold water. Empty the water from the carafe into
the water reservoir. The water window indicates how much
water is in the container, Close the hinged lid. Place the
glass carafe with the lid in place on the warming plate.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process
will always be slightly less than the amount of water
placed into the coffee maker, since some water is
absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little
extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact
number of cups desired.

PUTTING IN THE COFFEE

Swing the filter basket door outward to your right, Lift out the removable filter basket,
l
Insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket.
A permanent filter may be used instead of or in addition to the
l
paper filter. Fill the permanent filter with the required amount
of coffee. After brewing cycle, empty the grounds and rinse
thoroughly with water.
Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter.
l
According to coffee industry standards, use one standard coffee
measure (2 level tablespoons) of grounds for each six ounces of
water. After using your coffee maker several times, the amount of
coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste, by decreasing
or increasing the amount of coffee used.
NOTE: Be sure to use coffee grounds prepared specifically
for automatic drip coffee makers.
