Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98% water. The type of
water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always use clean, fresh water
that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid soft water or well water. Please refer to the
"Advanced Water Filtration" section to learn more about how your coffee maker reduces
impurities in water.
Cleanliness
A clean coffee maker is essential to brewing great tasting coffee each and every time.
This coffee maker is equipped with a cleaning cycle. Please refer to the next page for
steps on routine cleaning.
Daily Cleaning
• Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged and has cooled completely before cleaning.
• Remove the brew baskets, reusable filters, carafe, carafe lid, and wash them in a
solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly. You can also place in
the dishwasher; top-rack only.
• DO NOT TOUCH the heating plate while using the coffeemaker or immediately after
it has been turned off or disconnected from the outlet. The heating plate may be hot
after use. Wait for it to cool before touching it.
Decalcifying your Oster
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffee maker
and affect its performance. It's recommended that you regularly remove these deposits
using vinegar.

filter basket and close the coffee maker's lid.
4. Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.
5. Press the Clean button.
