COFFEE MAKER FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Your new Oster ^® coffee maker has the following features:

• Brewing Capacity – 12 Cups – glass decanter (model 4401 only)/8 Cups – thermal carafe (model 4402 only).
• Removable Filter Basket – The filter basket pulls out for fast and easy cleaning and filling.
• Pause ‘n Serve – Can’t wait for the coffee to finish brewing? The Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup of coffee while the coffee maker is still brewing. Carefully remove the carafe and the Pause ‘n Serve feature will be automatically activated, temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the decanter/carafe.
• Water Window – Show amount of water in the reservoir for accurate filling.
• Non-Stick Warming Plate (model 4401 only) – This feature allows you to keep your coffee hot after brewing. The non-stick attribute prevents the decanter from sticking to the surface of the warming plate.
• Brew Strength Selector – Adjusts the brewing time to create a more full-flavored coffee.
• Cord Storage – Safely stores excess cord to keep your countertop neat.
  • Programmable Controls:

Clock – The clock serves as a handy kitchen clock and allows you to set the Delay Brew Timer feature and functions as the fresh brew timer feature.

Fresh Brew Timer feature – Lets you know how long your coffee has been waiting for you.

Delay Brew – Would you like to wake up to a fresh pot of coffee? The timer allows you to preset when you would like the coffee maker to automatically begin brewing your coffee, up to 24 hours in advance.

Special Cleaning Cycle – Enables you to easily maintain and clean mineral deposits from your coffee maker.

BEFORE USING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Make sure your first cup of coffee is as good as can be by cleaning your Oster ^® coffee maker before its first use. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the decanter/ thermal carafe, decanter/ thermal carafe lid, the filter basket and the permanent filter in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly (please refer to the Description of the Appliance).
2. Replace all the parts and attach the water reservoir. Then, run a brew cycle with water only, without adding coffee and coffee filter.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffee maker off, discard the water in the thermal carafe and rinse the carafe, carafe lid, and filter basket.

Your coffee maker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

NOTE: Pressing any button before setting the clock will cause the clock to start keeping time from 12:00 a.m. You must set the clock if you want to use the Delay Brew feature.

To Set the Delay Brew Time:

While the display is in the clock mode, simply press the set delay "Programar" button (Figure 3) and, set the brew time by pressing the hour "Hora" and minute "Min" buttons (Figure 1). The AM or PM indicator will light at the bottom of the clock display.

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
12 Cups 9 tbsp.
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 coffeeUse 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 a 10–12 cup paper basket-style filter or the permanent filter into the removable filter 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.

1. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See the "Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart".
2. Be sure the removable filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the brew basket and close the lid.
3. Fill the decanter/ thermal carafe with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 148 mL). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter/ thermal carafe show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the "12-cup MAX line" (model 4401 only)/ "8-cup MAX line" (model 4402 only) 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.

1. Lift the water reservoir lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter/thermal jar onto the warmer plate/platform.

NOTE: If the glass decanter/ thermal carafe is not in place then the coffee maker will not brew and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damaging the glass decanter/ thermal carafe and/or the risk of personal injury, do not add cold water to the decanter/ thermal carafe if the same is already hot. Allow the glass decanter/ thermal carafe to cool before using.

BREWING COFFEE NOW

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 select "Selec./Apag." button once (Figure 4). The brew now "Colar Ahora" light will turn on and pulse to signal that the coffee maker is on and brewing.
2. To enjoy a more full flavored cup of coffee, press the Brew Strength "Intensidad" button once. The strong "Fuerte" brew strength light will turn on. The coffee maker will remain in the brew strength you have selected until you change it back to regular "Regular" strength by pressing the brew strength button or until you unplug the unit (Figure 5).
3. After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully remove the filter basket and discard them.

NOTE: Always allow the coffee maker to cool down before cleaning.

1. 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 select "Selec./Apag." button until all lights turn off.

2. Make sure the glass decanter/ thermal carafe is empty before starting to brew coffee.

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

NOTE: Scalding may occur if the lid is open during brewing cycles.

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 coffee maker will brew the remainder of the cleaning solution.
d. When complete, the clean "Limpiar" light will turn off and your coffee maker will turn off.

1. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the glass decanter/ thermal carafe thoroughly with clean water.
2. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
3. Place the empty glass decanter/ thermal carafe back on the coffee maker.
