First steps
Unpacking the appliance
Remove the packaging material and the adhesive strips from the appliance. Please keep the original packaging.
Setting up the appliance
-
Set up the appliance in a dry room.
-
Set up the appliance on a stable, flat and dry surface. The surface may not be hot.
The appliance may not be placed in the vicinity of sinks or the like. -
Route the power cable so it does not lie over edges or cannot be damaged by hot surfaces or the hotplate.
-
Store the length of cable that you do not need in the cable-winding facility in the base of the appliance.
Connecting the appliance
Only connect the appliance to an easily accessible, properly installed earthed mains socket. After connecting, all lamps will illuminate briefly one after the other.
Full isolation from the mains is achieved by disconnecting the mains plug.
Removing filter
To remove the filter, press the lever (14) and pull the filter by the filter handle out of the appliance.
The filter must click in audibly upon inserting. Place the filter lid on the filter.
Removing jug
Always hold the jug by the jug handle when removing and inserting it.
Place the jug correctly on the hotplate so that the jug lid pushes the drip stop up slightly. This opens the drip stop and the contents of the filter can flow into the jug. The drip stop stops coffee dripping when you remove the jug
Filling water tank
The markings on the water tank correspond with the number of cups that you
prepare during a brewing process. The brewing process will always use up all
of the water in the water tank. Therefore, fill only the quantity of water
that you require for the subsequent brewing process. The filled quantity of
water may not exceed the 10 cup marking as the jug will otherwise overflow.
Fill fresh, clean tap or drinking water into the water tank. Do not use
carbonated water or any other liquids.
Use the jug to measure the required amount of water.

Dosing recommendation
For preparation, light to medium roasts with a medium grinding fineness are particularly well suited.
Weigh 6 to 8 g freshly ground coffee per cup. Put ground coffee into the filter paper according to your taste and the number of cups required. Then smooth the surface of the coffee powder as much as possible.
The Melitta One® has been checked according to the ECBC standards (European Coffee Brewing Centre, www.ecbc.info) and fulfils the demanding conditions of the “Coffee Brewer Certification Programme” in terms of coffee quality.
