Before first use

Ensure that the power supply in your home corresponds to that on the model plate on the base of the appliance.
Connect the appliance to a power source. Unused cable can be stored in the base of the appliance ① .
Set the current time using the buttons “h” and “m” ② . 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 ② 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.

Setting the hotplate

Keeping coffee warm on the hotplate affects the taste of your coffee. To avoid this you should enjoy your coffee fresh, by drinking it as soon after brewing as possible. Unnecessary warming also uses valuable energy. The factory settings for the appliance are for 40 minutes of warming. After this the hotplate turns off automatically. This time can be changed as needed:

Hold down the START-button ③ and by briefly pressing the h-button ② set the desired time (20, 40 or 60 minutes). The current warming time will be shown in the display ② .
Once you have set the desired warming time let go of the button. Your setting is now saved.
The last setting chosen remains even after removing the power cable.

Making coffee

Ensure that the appliance is connected to the power source.
Open the lid on the water tank ④ .
Fill the water tank with the desired amount of water using the glass pot. With the help of the water level display on the tank ⑤ you can choose the correct number of cups. 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 glass pot with closed lid in the appliance.
Open the swivel filter ⑥ to the left.
Fold a Melitta® filter bag 1×4® at the embossed seam and place it in the filter holder ⑦. Press the filter bag into the filter holder by hand, to ensure a good fit.
Put the ground coffee into the filter. The amount depends on your personal taste. We recommend using 6-8 g of ground coffee per large cup.
Swivel the filter back into the appliance.
Turn the appliance on ③ . Brewing begins.
After making your coffee the hotplate will keep it warm and will turn off automatically after the time you have set (see point 3). 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 ⑧ .

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 ⑨ . The first time you programme it the display will show 00:00. While setting the timer the word ‘timer’ appears in the display.
Set the desired start time by repeatedly pressing the h and m buttons ② . 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 ⑨ the timer feature is activated for the next brewing process. To show this the TIMER button ⑨ is illuminated and the programmed start time shows briefly in the display ② .
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 ⑨ you can deactivate the timer feature at any time. The light in the TIMER button ⑨ goes off.
If you want to make coffee before the start time you have programmed, press the START button ③ . The TIMER feature will be deactivated.
