Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Decalcifying your Oster
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your
coffeemaker and will affect its performance. It's recommended that you
regularly remove these deposits by using coffeemaker cleaner or vinegar.
1 Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of Coffeemaker Cleaner.
Pour the mixture into the water reservoir.
NOTE: 4 cups or ½ liter/20 fl. oz. of
undiluted, white household vinegar
may be used as a substitute for
the cleaner.
2 Place an empty #4 cone style
paper filter or permanent filter
into the filter basket and close.
3 Place the empty decanter back on
the warming plate.
Press the CLEAN button. The light behind the button will illuminate. For your
convenience the cleaning cycle is automatic. The entire cycle will take 45-60
minutes to complete. During the cleaning your coffeemaker will:
1 Slow brew approx. 3 cups of cleaning solution.
2 Pause for 30 minutes (the CLEAN light will remain on to alert you that the
process is active). At the end of the pause period your coffeemaker will beep.
3 After 30 minutes, your coffeemaker will brew the remainder of the cleaning
solution.
4 When complete, the CLEAN light will turn off and your coffeemaker will
automatically beep and shut off.
5 Brew 12 cups of fresh, clean water through the coffeemaker at least two
times to thoroughly rinse out the coffeemaker.
