Care And Cleaning; Suggested Cleaning Interval; To Clean Your Coffee Maker Using Vinegar - Oster BVSTDCDW12B Instruction Manual

Your coffee maker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused
by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action
stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, the appliance
requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The
following table gives a suggested cleaning schedule.
