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 = 5 fl. oz. (148 mL) of brewed coffee Use more or less coffee to suit your taste. B. Water Filtration System (Not included on models BVSTDC4411-017 & BVSTDC4411-057 for Brazil) 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. To use the water filtration system in your Oster

Coffee maker, 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). NOTE: For optimum results, use the water filtration system with the 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. To replace the water filter disks, twist the gray disk cover from your water filtration system. Remove the used disk. Insert the new disk into the frame and twist the cover back into place.English-7 C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee

1. Open the brew basket drawer (Figure 4).

2. Place a 10–12 cup paper basket-style filter or the

permanent filter into the brew basket. 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 (Figure 5).

4. Slide the brew basket back into place (Figure 6).

5. Fill the removable water reservoir with cold, fresh

water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 148 mL). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the removable water reservoir 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 coffee maker. NOTE: 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. NOTE: If the thermal carafe is not in place then the coffee maker will not brew. The brew now “Colar Ahora” LED will flash to signal that there is an error. CAUTION: Do not place the thermal carafe in the dishwasher. Figure 4 Figure 6 Figure 5English-8

1. After completing the steps in the Adding Water and Coffee

section and with the thermal carafe and the filter basket securely in place, turn the coffee maker on by pressing the brew now “Colar Ahora” button once (Figure 7). The brew now “Colar Ahora” light will turn on and pulse to signal that the coffee maker is on and brewing.

2. After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully remove

the filter basket and discard them. NOTE: The brew basket drawer is hot after brewing. Always allow the coffee maker to cool down before cleaning.

3. Prior to making a second pot of coffee, turn the coffee maker

off. This will reset the fresh brew timer feature. To turn the coffee maker off, press the brew now/off “Colar Ahora/ Apagado” button until all lights turn off.

4. Make sure the thermal carafe is empty before starting to

5. Be sure to turn your coffee maker off when no longer using it.

The Fresh Brew Timer Feature The fresh brew timer feature lets you know how long your coffee has been waiting for you. At the start of the brew cycle, the fresh brew timer feature will automatically be activated. The timer will appear in the lower part of the display under the clock (Figure 8). This display will be visible any time you are brewing coffee. The display will change to show the time since brewing began in 15-minute intervals.

1. You must first set the time for when you would like the coffee

maker to begin brewing your coffee as described in Setting the Clock and the Delay Brew Timer section.

2. Prepare your coffee maker as described in Adding Water and

Ground Coffee section.

3. To activate the delay brew function and program your coffee

maker to brew coffee at a later time, press the delay brew “Colado Program.” button once. The delay brew “Colado Program.” light will illuminate. The coffee maker is now set to automatically brew coffee at the pre-set time (Figure 9).

4. At the pre-set time, the brew now “Colar Ahora” light will turn on and the

delay brew “Colado Program.” light will turn off, indicating the brewing has started. The fresh brew timer feature will start. As a safety feature, your coffee maker will NOT start again automatically the next day. If you want your coffee to brew at the same time the following day, simply add a new filter, coffee and water and set delay brew, by repeating Steps 2 and 3 above. NOTE: If the thermal carafe is not in place then the coffee maker will not brew. To cancel delay brew: Press the delay brew “Colado Program.” button until all lights turn off (Figure 9). Daily Cleaning Always unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before cleaning. Remove the filter basket, permanent filter, thermal carafe and thermal carafe lid and wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap. Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. CAUTION! Never immerse the coffee maker itself in water, in any other liquid or place in the dishwasher. Regular Cleaning and Maintenance Decalcifying your Oster

coffee maker minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffee maker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits using vinegar.

1. Prepare a solution using 1 L of undiluted white household

vinegar may be used to clean.

2. Pour the vinegar into the water reservoir. Before decalcifying,

remove the water filtration disk from the machine.

3. Place an empty 10–12 cup basket-style paper filter or the

permanent filter that came with the unit into the filter basket and slide the brew basket in place.

Your coffee maker 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 Water Filtration Disk Replacement (Not included on models BVSTDC4411-017 & BVSTDC4411-057 for Brazil) Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the unit will not be in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter with running water and clean the coffee maker before use. Cleaning the Thermal Carafe Hard water can leave a whitish stain inside the thermal carafe, and coffee may then turn this stain brown. To remove thermal carafe stains:

1. Fill the carafe with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the

solution stand in it for approximately 20 minutes.

2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the thermal carafe.

DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the thermal carafe.English-11 Your coffee maker has been carefully designed to give you many years of trouble- free service.
