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
vinegar.
1. IMPORTANT: Remove the water filtration system from the coffeemaker.
2. Prepare 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. / 592ml of undiluted, white household vinegar. Pour the
vinegar into the water reservoir.
3. Place an empty 10-12 cup basket-style paper filter or Oster
®
reusable filter into the
brew basket and close the coffeemaker’s lid.
4. Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.
5. Brew prepared cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.
6. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
7. Fill the water reservoir with 12 cups of clean, fresh water.
8. Place the empty carafe back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.
9. Remove and discard the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle. If an Oster
®
reusable filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before
replacing it in the brew basket.
10. Press Brew Now and allow the full brew cycle to complete, rinsing the coffeemaker
with hot water.
11. Discard the water and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
12. Repeat steps 7 through 11 one more time, to ensure it is fully rinsed.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot
coffee!
NOTE: It is recommended that you decalcify your coffeemaker every 30 days.
