B. Water Filtration System (not included with all models)
Congratulations! You are the owner of
a Oster
™
water filtration system. This
carbon-based water filter improves the
taste of your coffee by removing up to
97% of the chlorine from the water you
may use to brew your coffee.
First, look for the Oster
™
Filtration Friendly
symbol on the bottom of your filter
basket. If you do not see this symbol,
please call 1-800-672-6333.
To use the water filtration system in your Oster
™
Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:
1. Align the red indicator on the frame to the
letter that corresponds with the month that
you are using the disk for the first time. This
serves to remind you to change the disk
every month (approx. 30 brewing cycles). To
change the disk, remove the used disk, insert
new disk into the frame.
NOTE:
For optimum results, use the water
filtration system with a permanent filter.
2. Rinse the water filter in fresh water before
first use.
3. Follow
Adding Water and Coffee
instructions.
4. When you are done brewing your coffee,
rinse the water filter with fresh water.
Do not put your water filter in the
dishwasher.
C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Open the brew basket lid. For your
convenience, you can lift out the removable
filter basket.

2. Place a Oster
™
brand 10-12 cup paper basket-style filter
or a Oster
™
permanent 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. After following instructions in the
Water Filtration System
(not included with all models)
, place the Oster
™
water
filter in the basket, making sure that the side marked “this
side up” faces you and that the water filter is level.
5. Be sure the removable filter basket is properly centered
and all the way down in the brew basket and close the
lid.
6. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired
capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces) 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 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.
7. Lift the pour through 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. An overflow may cause personal injury or
damage to property.
