SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 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.
You can customize the length of the power cord so that it is the exact length you desire.
To increase the length of the power cord: grasp he power cord (not the power plug) and
gently lift it out of the slot, then pull away from the coffeemaker. To decrease the length
of the power cord: Grasp the power cord (not the power plug), lift it out of the slot and
gently feed it into the coffeemaker. Lock the cord in the slot when finished.

COFFEEMAKER FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Your new coffeemaker has the following features:
• Brewing Capacity – 12 cups
• Removable Filter Basket – The filter basket lifts out for fast and easy cleaning and
filling
• Pause ‘n Serve – Can’t wait for the coffee to finish brewing? The Pause ‘n Serve
feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup of coffee while the coffeemaker is
still brewing. Carefully remove the decanter and the Pause ‘n Serve feature will be
automatically activated, temporally stopping the flow of coffee into the decanter
• Dual Water Windows – Shows amount of water in the reservoir for accurate filling
• Non-Stick Warmer Plate – This feature allows you to keep your coffee hot after
brewing. The non-stick attribute prevents the decanter from sticking to the surface of
the warming plate
• Brew Strength Selector – Adjust the brewing time to create a more full flavored
coffee
• Cord Storage – Safety stores excess cord to keep your countertop neat
• On Indicator Light – Lets you know when your coffeemaker is “on”
• Two Hour Auto Shut-Off – Keeps your coffee hot for two hours, then automatically
shuts off
NOTE: If you have selected any of the operating functions, the coffeemaker will act
upon the last operation selected if the power is restored within 10 seconds after a
power outage.
CLEAN YOUR COFFEEMAKER BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME
Make sure your first cup of coffee is a good as can be by cleaning your coffeemaker
before its first use. Just follow the simple steps:
1. Wash the decanter, decanter lid and the filter basket in a mixture of mild detergent
and water. Rinse each thoroughly (please refer for the parts diagram listed above).
2. Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle with water only,
without adding coffee and coffee filter.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off, discard the water in the
decanter and rinse the decanter, decanter lid, and filter basket.
Your coffeemaker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

PREPARING FOR USE
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement. Make sure
you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.
A. Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.
1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
B. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Lift and open the filter basket lid.
For your convenience, you can lift
out the removable filter basket.
2. Place the permanent filter or a
10-12 cup paper basket-style
filter into the removable
filter basket. (Figure 5)
3. Add the desired amount of coffee
and gently shake to level the coffee.
See the Suggested Coffee
Measurement Chart.
4. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capability (1 cup equals 5
ounces) (Figure 6). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass
decanter and on the dual water windows show the amount of water needed to make
the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the “12 cup MAX line” or
water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir.
The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water
poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by
coffee grounds.
5. Lift the pour trough reservoir lid and pour the water into the water reservoir.
Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.
NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and
the grounds will overflow from the filter basket.
