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 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.

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 glass pot. With the help of the water level display on the tank 3 you can choose the correct number of cups.
Small cup symbol = approx. 75 ml coffee per cup, large cup symbol = approx. 110 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 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 6g of ground coffee per large cup.
Swivel the filter back into the appliance.
Turn the appliance on 6. Brewing begins.
After making your coffee the hotplate will keep it warm and will turn off automatically after about 40 minutes. 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 7.

Cleaning and maintenance

External cleaning

The housing can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
The glass pot and lid and the swivel filter 8 can be washed in the dishwasher.
When cold, the hotplate can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

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.
The descaling process consists of 2 steps, both of which must be completed.

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.
