Clean the outer casing with a soft, damp cloth.

ONLY for plastic jugs with glass insert

To prevent damage to the glass flask, do not use hard or sharp-edged objects (e. g. cutlery, dishwashing brushes or similar) for stirring or cleaning and do not fill with ice cubes or carbonated liquids.
Do not subject the glass flask to high temperature fluctuations.

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).
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.

Making coffee

Ensure that the appliance is connected to the power source.
Open the lid on the water tank (2).
Fill the water tank with the desired amount of water using the therm jug. With the help of the water level display on the tank (3) 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 therm jug with closed lid in the appliance (8).
Open the swivel filter (4) to the left.
Fold a Melitta® filter bag 1×4® at the embossed seam and place it in the filter holder (5). 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. An audible click tells you it is inserted properly.
With the Melitta® AromaSelector® (6) you can set the taste of your coffee with just one hand: From mild-aromatic ( ) to strong-intensive ( ).
Turn the appliance on (7). Brewing begins.
The appliance switches off automatically 15 minutes after being switched on. 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).
With the help of the detachable inner filter you can dispose of the filter bag simply and easily.

Using the insulated pot

The brewed coffee flows through the central valve in the insulated lid of the pot.
To pour coffee press down on the sealing lever (10).
Remove the lid simply by pressing the seals on the side while lifting the lid up (11).

Cleaning and maintenance

External cleaning

The housing can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
The jug lid, the filter insert and the swivel filter (9) can be washed in the dishwasher.

Descaling

Depending on water hardness the appliance can become calcified with use. This also 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.

Descaling
- 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“.
- Turn the appliance on and follow the descaler manufacturer’s instructions.
- When the descaler liquid has fully run through the appliance then it should be turned off.
Rinsing
- After step 1 the appliance must be rinsed with fresh water. To do this allow the machine to cool for a short time (approx. two minutes) then fill the appliance with the maximum amount of water.
- Turn the appliance on and allow all the water to flow through it. Then turn the appliance off immediately.
- Repeat the rinsing process.
