Before first use

Melitta-LOOK-Therm-Timer-Coffee-Machine-FIG-2

Ensure that the power supply in your home corresponds to that on the model plate on the base of the appliance.
Place the appliance on a dry, level and stable surface.
Connect the appliance to a power source. Unused cable can be stored in the base of the appliance.
Set the current time using the buttons “h” and “m”. This goes faster if you hold down the button. The appliance is only ready to use once the time has been set. You can turn the display light on or off by simultaneously pressing the “h” and “m” buttons for longer than two seconds.
All appliances have been tested during production to ensure they work perfectly. Therefore there may be for example water deposits remaining. Rinse the appliance twice with the maximum amount of water and without a filter bag or ground coffee, in order to clean it.
For the best coffee enjoyment and convenient use, the appliance is equipped with various features. These features are explained below.

Set water hardness

Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up in the appliance. This increases the appliance’s energy consumption as lime scale on the heating element canprevent the water heating effectively. To avoid damage the appliance must be descaled regularly. The descaling permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs to
be descaled.

The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water hardness (level 4). You can find out the level of water hardness in your area by asking your local water provider or by using water hardness measuring strips available in the shops. For softer water the descaling display can be adjusted to descale less often.
Hold down the CALC-button and by briefly pressing the “m”-button set the desired level of water hardness. The hardness setting will then show in the display.
Once you have set the desired level of water hardness, let go of the CALC-button
Your settings are now saved.
The settings and display are shown in the table.

Please note

Water hardness cannot be programmed while brewing.
The last water hardness level chosen remains even after removing the power cable.

Making coffee

Ensure that the appliance is connected to the power source.
Fill the water tank.
Remove the detachable water tank by holding the recessed grip and pulling straight up.
Remove the water tank lid and fill with the desired amount of fresh water from the tap. Using the water level indicator on the tank you an choose the correct number of cups.
Close the tank by replacing the lid and insert the tank back in the appliance. Please ensure that you replace the tank upright in the appliance. The guide rails on the appliance (left of the tank) will help you with this.
Alternatively use the therm jug to pour the water into the tank in the appliance. The required amount of water can be seen on the water level indicator on the tank.
- Small cup symbol = approx. 85 ml coffee per cup,
- large cup symbol = approx. 125 ml coffee per cup
Close the lid on the water tank and place the therm jug with closed lid in the appliance.
Open the swing filter to the left.
Fold a Melitta® filter bag 1×4® at the embossed seam and place it in the filter holder. Press the filter bag into the filter holder by hand, to ensure a good fit.
Put the ground coffee into the coffee filter. We recommend using 6-8 g of coffee per large cup at a medium setting of the AromaSelector®.
Alternatively, you can vary the taste of the coffee according to your personal preference using the same quantity of coffee. For a milder coffee, turn the AromaSelector® to the left ( ). For a stronger coffee, turn it to the right ( ).
Swing the filter back into the appliance. An audible click tells you it is inserted properly.
The appliance turns off automatically short after brewing. This avoids unnecessary use of electricity and saves energy. You can of course turn the machine off manually at any time.
The drip stop prevents your coffee from dripping when you remove the pot from the appliance.
With the help of the detachable inner filter you can dispose of the filter bag simply and easily.

Using the therm jug

The brewed coffee flows through the central valve in the insulated lid of the jug.
To pour coffee press down on the sealing lever.
Remove the lid simply by pressing the seals on the side while lifting the lid up .

Timer Feature
The appliance is equipped with a TIMER feature. This starts the brewing process at a time you programme.

Prepare the appliance as described in point 4 ‘making coffee’, but without pressing the START button.
To set the desired start time, hold down the TIMER button . The first time you programme it the display will show 00:00.
Set the desired start time by repeatedly pressing the “h” and “m” buttons. This goes faster if you hold down the button.
After letting go of the TIMER button the current time will show. The chosen start time is saved until you set a different time or remove the appliance from the power source.
By briefly pressing the TIMER button the timer feature is activated for the next brewing process. To show this the TIMER button  is illuminated and the programmed start time shows briefly in the display .
The appliance automatically starts to make coffee at the time you have set.
As long as you do not remove the plug from the socket or set a new start time, the previous start time is saved.
By briefly pressing the TIMER button you can deactivate the timer feature at any time. The light in the TIMER button  goes off.
If you want to make coffee before the start time you have programmed, press the START button . The TIMER feature will be deactivated.

Cleaning and maintenance

External cleaning

Switch off the machine before cleaning and disconnect the power cable.
Allow the appliance to cool completely beforecleaning it.
Clean the parts that come into contact with coffee (jug, filter holder, etc.) after each use.
The housing can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
The jug lid, the filter insert and the swing filter can be washed in the dishwasher.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

Descaling

The CALC button lights up again if the appliance has been turned off without descaling. The CALC button will go off again only after the descaling programme has been completely finished. Based on the water hardness level you have set (see point 3) the descaling programme should be run promptly after the CALC button lights up.

Follow the manufacturers instructions regarding amounts and pour the descaler into the water tank. We recommend using Melitta® „Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee & Aqua Machines“.
Briefly press the CALC button , it will start to flash.
The descaling process will now run automatically. To remove even stubborn limescale the descaling process takes 25 minutes. The remaining time is shown in the display.
Attention: Only by carrying out the descaling process completely will all limescale deposits be removed and the light on the CALC button will go off. The descaling process should therefore not be interrupted before it has run for the full 25 minutes.
When the descaling process is completed the light on the CALC button will go off. The appliance will turn off automatically.
At the end of the descaling process, the appliance
should be rinsed twice through, using the maximum amount of water without coffee. This will remove any remaining limescale deposits.
