DECANTER USE AND CARE
Follow the instruction below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking the decanter:
a.This decanter is designed for use with your Oster® coffeemaker and therefore must
never be used on a range top or in any oven, INCLUDING A MICROWAVE OVEN.
b. DO NOT set a hot decanter on a wet or cold surface.
c. DO NOT use a cracked decanter or a decanter having a loose or weakened handle.
d. DO NOT clean the decanter with abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other
abrasive materials.
e. Discard the decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.
f. Protect the decanter from sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any service covers. There are
no user serviceable parts inside the coffeemaker. Only authorized personnel should
repair the coffeemaker.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
2. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must
be the same as the product. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it
will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally.
(For 120 & 127 Volts With Two Flat Pins Only)
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

BREWING COFFEE
Cleaning the coffeemaker before first use
Follow the steps below under “Adding Water and Ground Coffee” and “Brewing Coffee
Now”, but do not add coffee grounds.
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use coffee ground for use with automatic drip coffeemakers. The
amounts shown below are suggested amounts.
One cup = Five ounces of brewed coffee
Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1) Open brew basket lid, turn showerhead to the back and lift out the removable filter
insert.If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush against
the sides of the filter insert. If filter collapse occurs, for best results, dampen the filter
before placing it in the brew basket and adding ground coffee.
2) Place the permanent filter or a 4 cup basket-stylepaper filter (Model 3301)/8-12 cup
basket-style paper filter (Models 3302 & 3303).
3) Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. Gently shake the filter insert to
level the ground coffee.

insert. Close the brew basket.
5) Fill the water reservoir with the desired amount of tap water.
6) Close the brew basket lid.
7) Place the decanter on the warming plate.
If the brew basket overflows or fails to empty into the decanter, do not open the
brew basket lid. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.
To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal injury, do
not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the
decanter to cool before using.
Do not brew coffee while the brew basket lid is open.

of coffee from the decanter. REPLACE THE DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE
WITHIN 30 SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND POSSIBLE INJURY.
To turn Off the coffeemaker, push the switch so the light is no longer illuminated.
Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours and then automatically

desired amount of ground coffee, fill the water reservoir and press DELAY BREW.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Your Coffeemaker 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.
Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned using vinegar.
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter. Coffee may then turn this stain
brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1) Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2) Discard the solution and wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the decanter; scratches may
cause the decanter to break.
Suggested Cleaning Interval
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
