2. Before first use

• Ensure that the mains voltage in your home corresponds to that indicated on the identification label on the base of the appliance.
• Connect the appliance to the mains power. Cable which is not required, can be stored in the cable spool ①.
• Set the current time using the buttons 'H' and 'M' ②. It is possible to speed this up by holding in the respective button. The display will switch to standby mode after 15 minutes of no activity. Only the time and possibly the timer symbol will be displayed. Press any button to activate the full display again.
• All appliances are tested for fault free operation when they are produced. Some residual water may be left behind after this test. Rinse the appliance twice with the maximum amount of water without a coffee filter or ground coffee in order to clean it. To do this, fill the water tank ⑥ up to the 8 cup level marker, then press the setting for using ground coffee ⑤ and turn the appliance on ④ .
• The appliance has a variety of features for the best coffee enjoyment and ease of use. These features are explained below.

3. 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 descending display helps you in this. If the CALC-button ③ 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 ③ and by briefly pressing the m-button ② set the desired level of water hardness. The hardness setting will then show in the display
• Once you have set the desired level of water hardness, let go of the CALC-button. Your settings are now saved.
• The settings and display are shown in the table.

Hardness setting	Ⅰ	Ⅱ	Ⅲ	Ⅳ
°dH	<7° dH	7-14° dH	14-21° dH	>21° dH
Display ②	1	2	3	4

Please note:

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

4. 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:

• Hold down the "Start/Stop" button ④ and by briefly pressing the M-button ② set the desired time (20, 40 or 60 minutes). The current warming time will be shown in the display ②.
• Once you have set the desired warming time let go of the button. Your setting is now saved.
• The last setting chosen remains even after removing the power cable.

5. Coffee preparation

For aromatic coffee flavour and the best fit of your coffee filter in the filter holder we recommend using Melitta® coffee filters size 1 × 4^® .

• Ensure that the power cable is plugged in.
• Open the lid on the water tank ⑤.
• Pour the required amount of cold water into the water tank using the glass jug. With the help of the level markings on the tank (6) you can select the required number of cups (2/4/6/8/10).
• Close the water tank lid and place the glass jug with closed lid in the appliance.
• Set the number of cups ⑦ to the amount of water in the water tank ⑥ . The number of cups is shown

in the display ②.

Note: Ensure that the selected number of cups corresponds to the amount of water in the water container ⑧ . Please note that when making coffee all the water in the water tank is used. If the number of cups and the amount of water do not correspond to each other then this can lead to you not getting the coffee flavour you would like.

5.1 Using coffee beans

• When the bean container is completely full, you can brew enough coffee for 10 cups 2 or 3 times. Roasted coffee beans lose their flavour. Only fill coffee beans in the container which will be used within a few days.
• Open the bean container lid and fill with coffee beans (9). Then close the lid.

Note: To ensure the grinder functions perfectly do not use caramelised coffee beans. Do not put ground coffee in the bean container.

• Open the swivel filter (10) to the left.
• Fold a Melitta 1 × 4^® coffee filter at the embossed seams and place it in the filter holder (1). Use your hand to press the filter in to ensure the best fit.
• Swivel the filter back into the appliance. An audible click indicates that the filter is in place.
• Set the grinding fineness. Turn the "grinding fineness regulator" clockwise to set a finer grinding fineness. Turn it anti-clockwise to set a coarser grinding fineness (12).

Note: The grinding fineness basically influences the flavour of the coffee. If the grinding fineness is too fine, the coffee will have a bitter taste. If the grinding fineness is too coarse, the coffee will taste acidic.

• Press the button to select coffee strength ③ . The selected coffee strength is shown in the display ② . One coffee bean ±b is for mild, two beans ±b for medium and three beans ±b strong.
• Turn the appliance on using the start button ON/OFF ④. Coffee preparation begins and the green LED flashes.
• When the coffee is ready the green LED ④ is illuminated but stops flashing. The hot plate keeps your coffee warm and switches off automatically after the time you have set (see point 4). This avoids the unnecessary use of electricity and saves energy. You can of course turn the appliance off manually at any time ④.
• The drip stop ⑭ prevents coffee dripping when you remove the jug from the appliance.
• The used coffee filter can be disposed of simply and easily using the removable filter insert.

5.2 Using ground coffee

• To use ground coffee select the ground coffee setting (15).
• Open the swivel filter to the left ⑩.
• Fold a Melitta 1 × 4^5 coffee filter at the embossed seams and place it in the filter holder (1). Use your hand to press the filter in to ensure the best fit.
• Put the ground coffee in the coffee filter. The amount of coffee you use depends on your personal taste. We recommend using 6 - 8g of ground coffee per cup.
• Swivel the filter back into the appliance. An audible click indicates that the filter is in place.
• Turn the appliance on using the "Start/Stop" button

④. Coffee preparation begins and the green LED flashes.

• When the coffee is ready the green LED ④ is illuminated but stops flashing. The hot plate keeps your coffee warm and switches off automatically after the time you have set (see point 4). This avoids the unnecessary use of electricity and saves energy. You can of course turn the appliance off manually at any time ④.
• The drip stop ④ prevents coffee dripping when you remove the jug from the appliance.
• The used coffee filter can be disposed of simply and easily using the removable filter insert.

6.Timer Feature

Set the required start time by repeatedly pressing the H and M buttons (2). It is possible to speed this up by holding in the respective button.
• Two seconds after you let go of the TIMER button the current time will be displayed again. The start time you selected is saved until a new time is selected or the appliance is removed from the power supply.
• Pressing the TIMER button ⑥ briefly activates the timer feature for automatic coffee preparation. The start time you set appears briefly in the display ② . The clock symbol in the display ② and the white LED are illuminated ⑥ .
• The appliance starts preparing coffee automatically at the time you set.
• If you do not remove the appliance from the mains electricity or programme a new start time then the time previously set is saved.
• The TIMER feature can be deactivated at any time by pressing the TIMER button. The white LED 16 and the clock symbol 2 are no longer illuminated.

7. Cleaning and care

7.1 Cleaning the exterior

• The housing and the water tank can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
• The glass jug and lid and the filter insert are dishwasher safe.
• The hotplate can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth when it is cold.

For the best coffee flavour we recommend cleaning the bean container, the grinder and the ground coffee chute regularly. This is easiest when the bean container and the grinder are completely empty.

7.2 Cleaning the grinder

Note: You can call up cleaning and care instructions by using the QR code.

Clean the grinder if you see visible soiling. After each time you clean the grinder, you should also clean the ground coffee chute.

• Empty the bean container. Allow the grinder to grind itself empty. Do this by fitting a filter in the filter insert (1) and starting the grinding process with the "Start/Stop" button (4).
• Turn the grinding fineness regulator until the two triangles point towards each other ⑰. Pull the grinding fineness regulator vertically upwards out of the appliance ⑰.
• Clean all parts of the grinder with the brush.
• Clean the lower grinding disc ② , the gap ② and the entrance to the ground coffee chute ② . You can remove loose ground coffee with a vacuum cleaner. Loosen caked-on ground coffee with the brush.
  Pull the silicone ring off the disc carrier 18
• You can remove the ground coffee from the grinding ring by tapping it lightly. You can also remove the ground coffee with a vacuum cleaner. If it is heavily soiled, you can clean the grinding ring under running water. Allow the grinding ring to dry completely.
• Reassemble the grinding fineness regulator. Make sure you press the silicone gasket evenly and as far as it will go into the grinding ring.
• To lock the grinding ring, turn it to the position shown (19).
• Insert the grinding fineness regulator vertically into the appliance. The two triangles must point towards each other ⑰. Turn the grinding fineness regulator clockwise up to the stop to lock it.

Clean the ground coffee chute:

• Holding the appliance in both hands carefully lay it on its back.
• Now you can firstly clean the area above the swivel filter with the brush and a damp cloth.
• To open the ground coffee chute ② hold down the button for ground coffee o for 5 seconds.
• The ground coffee chute flap opens and the chute can be cleaned with the brush..
• To close the flap on the ground coffee chute hold down the button for ground coffee o for 5 seconds.
• Put the swivel filter j back in place and stand the appliance up again.

Dscaling:

Based on the water hardness you have set (see point 3) the appliance should be descaled soon after the CALC ③ indicator lights up.

Measure out the descending fluid according to the manufacturers instructions and pour it into the water tank. We recommend using Melitta® "Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee & Aqua Machines".
- Briefly press the CALC button ③. The red LED starts to flash ③.
- The current time and 'CALC' appear alternately in the display (2).
- The descending process runs automatically. To remove even heavy calcification the descending process takes about 25 minutes.
- Attention: Only by running the complete descending process can all limescale deposits be removed. Only then does the Calc LED (3) go off. Therefore the

descaling process should not be interrupted.

After the descending process has been completed the light in the CALC button ③ goes off. The appliance turns off automatically.
- To completely remove any deposits from descending, the appliance must be rinsed twice with the maximum amount of water without coffee, after the descending process has ended. Proceed as described in point 2.
