YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Daily Cleaning
Always unplug the coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning.
Remove the filter basket, permanent filter (not included on all models), decanter and
decanter lid and wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap.
Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. Dishwasher
top rack safe parts: glass decanter and lid, filter basket and permanent filter. The water
filter disk is not dishwasher safe.
CAUTION! Never immerse the coffeemaker itself in water, in any other liquid
or place in the dishwasher.
Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Decalcifying your OSTER
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker
and affect its performance. It's recommended that you regularly remove these
deposits using white household vinegar
1. Pour four cups (32 fluid ounces) of undiluted white household vinegar into the
water reservoir.
2. Place an empty 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter or permanent filter into the
filter basket and close the brew basket lid.
3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warmer plate.
4. Press the SELECT button until the red CLEAN indicator light turns on (Figure 11).
For your convenience the cleaning cycle is automatic.
The entire cycle will take 45-60 minutes to complete.
During the cleaning your coffeemaker will:
a. Slow brew approx. 3 cups of vinegar.
b. Pause for 30 minutes (the CLEAN light will remain
on to alert you that the process is active).
c. After 30 minutes, your coffeemaker will brew
the remainder of the vinegar.
d. When complete, the CLEAN light will turn off and
your coffeemaker will turn off.
