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
To Brew Ground Coffee
 10 Cups  7.5tbsp.
 8 Cups  6.5tbsp.
 6 Cups  4.5tbsp.
 4 Cups  3 tbsp.
1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.
1 cup = 148 ml/ 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
B. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1.Openthebrewbasketlid.Foryourconvenience,you
can lift out the removable filter basket.
2.PlacetheOster®permanent filter or if you prefer a 10
cup paper basket-style filter into the removable filter
 basket(Figure5).
NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the
sides of the filter fit flush against the side of the filter
basket. If filter collapse occurs, dampen the filter
before placing in the filter basket and adding ground
coffee and water.
3.Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See the
 SuggestedCoffeeMeasurementChart.
4.Be sure the removable filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the
brew basket and close the lid.
5.Fillthecarafewithcold,freshwatertothedesiredcapacity(1cupequals148ml/5 
 ounces).Foreasyandaccuratefilling,thewatermarkingsonthedualwaterwindows 
show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups
Do not fill past the “10 cup MAX line” or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the
back of the coffeemaker.
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 the
coffee grounds.
6.Liftthepourthroughreservoirlidandpourthewaterintothewaterreservoir.Closethe
lid and place the empty carafe onto the decanter plate.
NOTE: Make sure the carafe is fully placed on the decanter plate or the water and the
grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or
damage to property.
Fortheoptimumcoffeetemperature,werecommendpreheatingthestainlesssteel
thermal carafe.
• Before brewing coffee, fill the carafe with hot tap water.
• Letwaterstandincarafeforafewminutes(2-5minutes).
• Empty water into sink.
• Placecarafeonwarmerplateandstartbrewingcycle.

REGULAR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Decalcifying your OSTER®Coffeemaker
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 

into the filter basket and close the brew basket lid.
3. Placetheemptycarafebackintheunit,centeredonthe
plate.
4. PresstheSelect(SELEC./APG.)buttonuntiltheredClean
 (LIMPIAR)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(LIMPIAR)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(LIMPIAR)lightwillturnoffandyourcoffeemaker 
will turn off.
5. Discard the vinegar and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.

filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in
the filter basket.
9. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 one more time. Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to
 brewthenextpotofdelicious,hotcoffee!
Suggested Decalcifying Interval
 TypeofWaterCleaning Frequency
 SoftWater Every80BrewCycles
 HardWater Every40BrewCycles
or when red light is flashing.
