Read all instructions.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions. Use this product only as described in this manual.
- Keep the packaging material (cardboard, plastic, etc.) out of the reach of children (danger of asphyxiation or injury).
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid.
- To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or Coffee Maker in water or other liquid.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Unplug the Coffee Maker from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
- To prevent scalding, do not open the brew basket lid, attempt to dislodge a potential clog, or otherwise touch the brew basket area until the Coffee Maker has sufficiently cooled. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during brewing cycles.
- The fee Maker must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge of the counter to prevent accidental tipping.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped, or is damaged in any manner. Contact OXO Customer Service at (800) 545-4411. Do not return to the store.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by OXO may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- Use only the carafe provided with the Coffee Maker to capture brewed coffee when in Carafe mode.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to the off position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- The coffee carafe is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top or in a microwave oven.

Shock Hazard:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Before You Begin
- Remove all packaging
- Clean and wash all parts
For detailed cleaning instructions, see p.10
Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or spray cleaners. The carafe is not dishwasher safe. - Plug in Coffee Maker
We selected a short cord for this Coffee Maker to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If you need to use a longer cord, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the Coffee Maker. Make sure the extension cord is arranged so that it cannot be pulled on by children or tripped over. - Run Water-Only 5-8 Cup Brew Cycle
Fill the water tank to the MAX fill line.
A Note About Water
Your Coffee Maker uses all of the water you put in the tank every time you brew. Add only as much water as you need for your coffee. For example, if you want to make 3 cups of coffee, only fill the water tank to the 3 3-cup line.
Brew tip
If you’re brewing a single mug, use your mug to measure the water and fill the water tank for a perfect cup.
Note: For best results, always use filtered water. Do not use distilled water.
Water/ Coffee Ratio
OXO recommends using approximately 8 grams of medium-ground coffee per cup (5 A oz). Coffee dosage recommendations are based on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Golden Cup Standard, designed for optimal extraction and strength. 1 OXO scoop = approximately 8 grams of medium-ground coffee.

Notes On Descaling
- Scale is a naturally occurring buildup of mineral deposits. How often you should descale your Coffee Maker depends on water hardness.
- Buy descaling solution where household cleaning products are sold; follow the solution’s recommended use.
- The clean cycle will take around 25 minutes. Time will vary based on the amount of mineral deposit. Allow the cycle to finish to ensure the machine is fully descaled.
