Frequently Asked Questions - BVSTDCP12B OSTER

How do I set the clock on my Oster BVSTDCP12B coffee maker?

Plug in the coffee maker. The display will flash "12:00." Press the Hour and Minute buttons to set the current time. After 5 seconds of inactivity, the clock will be set.

How do I use the Brew Now feature?

Fill the water reservoir with cold water to the desired level and add coffee grounds to the filter. Press the Brew Now button. The indicator will light up and brewing will start immediately. The warming plate will keep coffee hot for up to 4 hours.

How do I program the Brew Later function?

First, set the clock. Press the Brew Later button. The display will flash "12:00." Use the Hour and Minute buttons to set the desired brew time, then press Brew Later again to confirm. The Brew Later indicator will light up. The coffee maker will automatically start brewing at the set time.

What type of filter should I use?

You can use either a standard basket-style paper filter (sold separately) or the included reusable filter. Paper filters produce a smoother, less bitter cup; reusable filters allow more coffee oils for a fuller flavor.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

For daily cleaning, unplug and let cool. Wash the carafe, lid, brew basket, and reusable filter in warm soapy water or place on the top rack of the dishwasher. For deep cleaning, decalcify every 30 days using vinegar as described in the manual.

How do I decalcify the coffee maker?

Remove the water filtration system. Fill the reservoir with 4 cups (20 fl oz) of undiluted white vinegar. Place an empty filter in the basket and run a brew cycle. Discard the vinegar, then run two full cycles with fresh water to rinse.

Why is my coffee weak or overflowing?

Weak coffee may be due to using too few grounds or too fine a grind. Overflow can occur if using fine coffee or decaf. Use the recommended coffee measurement chart (1 tbsp per cup for medium grind) and avoid overfilling the filter basket.

Can I use the carafe on the stove?

No. The glass carafe is designed for use only with this coffee maker. Do not place it on a range top or in a microwave. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent breakage.

What should I do if the coffee maker does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into an outlet and that the outlet is functional. Ensure the clock is set and the unit is not in a delayed brew mode. If it still does not work, contact an authorized service center.

Is the coffee maker safe to leave unattended?

Yes, the coffee maker has an auto shut-off feature that turns off the warming plate after 4 hours. However, always follow basic safety precautions: do not immerse in water, keep away from children, and do not operate with a damaged cord.

HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

PAPER FILTERS VS. REUSABLE FILTERS

PAPER FILTERS: To achieve a smoother, less bitter cup of coffee, use a paper filter. It will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments.

REUSABLE FILTERS: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter. It will allow the coffee's full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.

WATER

While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98 percent water. The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always use clean, fresh water that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid soft water or well water. Please refer to the “Water Filtration” section to learn more about how your coffeemaker reduces impurities in water.

CLEANLINESS

A clean coffeemaker is essential to brewing great tasting coffee each and every time.

ROUTINE CLEANING

DAILY CLEANING

• CAUTION: Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled completely before cleaning.
• Remove the brew basket, filter, carafe, carafe lid, and wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly. You can also place in the dishwasher; top-rack only.
