Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Decalcifying your Oster
®
coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your
coffeemaker and will affect its performance. It’s recommended that you
regularly remove these deposits by using coffeemaker cleaner or vinegar.
1
Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of Coffeemaker Cleaner.
Pour the mixture into the water reservoir.
NOTE:
600ml. of undiluted, white
household vinegar may be used
as a substitute for the cleaner.
2
Place an empty cone style paper
filter or permanent filter into the
filter basket and close.
3
Place the empty decanter back
on the warming plate.
Press the CLEAN button
. The light behind the button will illuminate. For your
convenience the cleaning cycle is automatic. The entire cycle will take 45-60 minutes
to complete. During the cleaning your coffeemaker will:
1
Slow brew approx. 700ml. of cleaning solution.
2
Pause for 30 minutes (the CLEAN light will remain on to alert you that the
process is active). At the end of the pause period your coffeemaker will beep.
3
After 30 minutes, your coffeemaker will brew the remainder of the cleaning
solution.
4
When complete, the CLEAN light will turn off and your coffeemaker will
automatically beep and shut off.
5
Brew 2.8 litres of fresh, clean water through the coffeemaker at least two
times to thoroughly rinse out the coffeemaker.
!
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn
this stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1
Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
2
Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, scratches
may cause the decanter to break.
