4 Starting up

When starting the appliance for the first time, please carry out the following steps.

When you have completed these steps, the appliance is ready for operation. You can now prepare coffee.

We recommend pouring away the first two cups of coffee after the first start up.

4.1 Setting up

• Place the appliance on a stable, level, and dry surface. Make sure that there is a distance of 10cm to the wall and other objects.
• The Melitta® CAFFEO® LATTEA® has two rollers on the back side of the appliance. It can thus be easily moved by slightly lifting it from the front.

Caution!

• Never place the appliance on hot surfaces or in damp areas.

• Do not transport or store the appliance in vehicles or rooms at low temperatures, as the remaining water could freeze or condense and thereby damage the appliance. Follow the instructions on page 73.

• The coffee grounds container is located in the drip tray. Please make sure that the drip tray is pushed into the appliance all the way to the stop.

Notes

• Keep the packaging material, including hard foam elements, in order to avoid damage during transport or in case of return shipments.
  It is normal to find traces of coffee and water in the machine before it is started up for the first time. This is because the appliance has already been tested for faultless function at the factory.

4.2 Connecting

12 Transport and disposal

12.1 Preparation for transport, protection against freezing and measures for longer periods of non-use

Venting the appliance

We recommend that you vent the appliance if it will not be used for an extended period of time and before transport. This also protects the appliance against frost damage.

Prerequisite: The appliance must be ready for operation (see „Switching on and off“ on page 52).

Take the Melitta® Claris® water filter out of the water tank.

• Simultaneously press both the button for one-cup dispensing ⑦ and the ON/OFF button ① for longer than 2 seconds.
  → The standby symbol 1 flashes during a brief heat-up phase. Subsequently, the symbol for the water tank is illuminated.
• Open up the flap of the water tank (Fig. A, no. 7) and pull the water tank up and out of the appliance.
  → The symbol for the milk shower is illuminated.
• Place a vessel under the milk shower.
• Turn the rotary switch for the milk shower (Fig. A, no. 11) clockwise to open the milk shower.
  Water runs out of the milk shower and into the vessel; also steam escapes. The symbol for the milk shower is flashing.

Warning!

Danger of scalding by hot steam

Make sure that you do not burn yourself on the hot steam escaping from the milk shower during the venting process.

• As soon as no more steam is emerging, turn the rotary switch for the milk shower anti-clockwise to close the milk shower.

The appliance has been vented.

Note

The Melitta® Claris® water filter should not remain dry over an extended period of time. We therefore recommend storing the Melitta® Claris® water filter in the refrigerator in a glass of water when the appliance will not be in use for extended periods.

Transport

• Vent the appliance (see page 73).
  Empty and clean the drip tray and coffee grounds container.
• Empty the water tank and the bean container. If necessary, remove beans from the bottom with a vacuum cleaner.
  Take the Melitta® Claris® water filter out of the water tank.
  Clean the brewing unit (see page 66).
• Transport the appliance in the original packaging if possible, including the hard foam elements, to prevent transport damage.

Caution!

Do not transport or store the appliance in vehicles or rooms at low temperatures, as the remaining water could freeze or condense and thereby damage the appliance.

Disposal

• Please dispose of the appliance in an environmentally responsible manner by means of suitable collection systems.
