Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Decalcifying your Oster coffeemaker
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 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.

Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn
this stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1 Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2 Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches
may cause the decanter to break.
