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.
Only Melitta® AromaElegance® Therm DeLuxe: Set the current time using the H and M buttons 2. This goes faster if you hold down the button. The appliance is only ready for use after setting the time. By simultaneously holding down the H and M buttons 2 for longer than two seconds, you can turn the display light on or off.
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 can prevent the water heating effectively. To avoid damage the appliance must be descaled regularly. The descaling display helps you with this 3. If the red LED is permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs to be descaled (see point 6). 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:

Melitta® AromaElegance® Therm

Hold down the DECALC/HARDNESS button 3 for longer than two seconds. The red LED will start to flash. In the factory settings the LED flashes four times with the following pauses ( ).
You can set the water hardness at three other levels. By briefly pressing the DECALC/HARDNESS button 3 the display changes to flashing briefly once, twice or three times, each time followed by a pause ( ).
The settings and display are shown in table 1.
Once you have set the desired level of water hardness, hold down the DECALC/HARDNESS button 3 again for longer than two seconds. The red LED will go off and your settings are saved.

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

Making coffee

For aromatic coffee flavour and the best fit for your filter bag in the filter holder, we recommend using Melitta® filter bag 1×4®.

Brewing coffee

Ensure that the appliance is connected to a power source.
Remove the detachable water tank by holding the recessed grip and pulling straight up 6.
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 can choose the correct number of cups.
- Small cup symbol = approx. 85ml coffee per cup,
- large cup symbol = approx. 125 ml coffee per cup 6.
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 7.
Swivel the filter to the right and remove it from the holder 8. You can now conveniently rest the filter on your kitchen worktop.
Fold a Melitta® filter bag 1×4® at the embossed seams and place in the filter holder. Press the filter bag intothe filter holder by hand, to ensure the best fit 9.

Swivel the filter back into the appliance and place the therm jug with closed lid 14 in the appliance 11.

To fully develop the flavour of your coffee even when preparing less than 6 cups, the Melitta® AromaElegance® Therm models are fitted with the Aroma Control feature as standard. So even when preparing small quantities of coffee you get the best aromatic coffee experience. When making 2-5 cups press the START button 4 for longer than two seconds. The green LED flashes and brewing begins.
The appliance turns of automatically short after brewing. This avoids the unnecessary use of electricity and saves energy. You can of course turn the appliance off manually at any time.
The drip stop prevents your coffee from dripping, when you remove the pot from the appliance 12.
With the help of the detachable filter you can dispose of the coffee filter bag simply and easily 8.

Timer feature (ONLY Melitta® AromaElegance® Therm DeLuxe)

To set the desired start time hold down the TIMER button 5 and press the H and M buttons 2 repeatedly to set the desired start time. This goes faster if you hold down the H and M buttons. The first time you programme it, the display will show 00:00.
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 again, the timer feature is activated for the next brewing process. To show this, the white LED 5 lights up and the programmed start time shows briefly in the display.

Cleaning and maintenance

External cleaning

The housing can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

Descaling

Based on the water hardness level you have set (see point 3) the descaling program should be run promptly after the DECALC/HARDNESS button 3 lights up. The descaling programme is only available when the descaling display lights up.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding amounts and pour the descaler into the water tank. We recommend using Melitta® “Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee & Aqua Machines”.

The red LED begins to flash. In the display the word “CALC” flashes (ONLY Melitta® AromaElegance® Therm DeLuxe).
The descaling process will run automatically, it takes about 25 minutes.
Attention: Only by carrying out the descaling process completely, all limescale deposits will be removed and the red light on the DECALC/HARDNESS button will go off. The descaling process should therefore not be interrupted before it has run for the full 25 minutes.
After the descaling process is completed the DECALC/HARDNESS button light will go off. The appliance will turn off automatically and go into standby mode.
At the end of the descaling process, the appliance should be rinsed twice through, using the maximum amount of water without coffee, in order to completely remove any remaining limescale deposits.
