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 a.

• All appliances have been tested during production for perfect functioning. 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 in this. If the CALC-button b is 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 b for longer than 2 seconds. The CALC button starts to flash. In the factory settings the CALC button flashes briefly four

times with the following pauses

• You can set the water hardness at three further levels. Each time you briefly press the CALC button b the display changes to flashing one, two or three times, each time followed by a pause
• The settings and display are shown in the following table 1.
• Once you have set the desired hardness level, again hold the CALC button b down for longer than two seconds. The light goes off and your settings are saved.

Please note:

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

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:

• Press the START button c longer than two seconds.
• In the factory settings the START button c flashes briefly twice with the following pause
• There are two other settings for the warming time. By briefly pressing the START button c the display changes to flashing three times or once, each time followed by a pause • The settings and display are shown in table 2.
• Once you have set the desired warming time, confirm your settings by pressing the START button c for longer than two seconds. Your settings are 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 d.
• 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 e 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.
• Close the lid on the water tank and place the glass pot with closed lid in the appliance.
• Open the swing filter f to the left.
• Fold a Melitta® filter bag 1×4® at the embossed seam and place it in the filter holder g. 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.
• Swing the filter back into the appliance. An audible click tells you it is inserted properly.
• With the Melitta® Aroma Selector h you can set the taste of your coffee with just one hand: From mild-aromatic (  ) to strong-intensive ( ).
• Turn the appliance on c. 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 4). 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 i.
• With the help of the detachable inner filter you can dispose of the filter bag simply and easily.

Cleaning and maintenance

External cleaning

• The housing can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
• The glass pot and lid, the filter insert and the swing filter j can be washed in the dishwasher.
• When cold, the hotplate can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

Descaling

• The CALC button b 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 b lights up.

• Follow the manufacturers instructions regarding amounts and pour the descale into the water tank. We recommend using Melitta® „Anti Calf Liquid for Filter Coffee & Aqua Machines“.

• Briefly press the CALC button b, it will start to flash.

• The descaling process will now run automatically. To remove even stubborn limescale the descaling process takes 25 minutes.
  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.
