Frequently Asked Questions - Avanza series 600 MELITTA

How to adjust the water hardness on the Melitta Avanza 600?
To adjust the water hardness, use the supplied test strip to determine the hardness. Then press the Service button for more than 2 seconds to enter setting mode 1. Press Service several times until you see the water hardness symbol, then use the Coffee Strength button to choose the level (soft, medium, hard, very hard). Confirm by pressing and holding Service.
How to clean the Cappuccinatore of the Melitta Avanza 600?
Disconnect the Cappuccinatore from the steam tube. Disassemble the parts: milk hose, air suction tube, spout and insert. Clean all parts with hot water. Reassemble and reconnect. We recommend weekly cleaning and using Melitta PERFECT CLEAN cleaning tablets for the milk system once a week.
How to start the descaling program on the Melitta Avanza 600?
Make sure the appliance is on and ready. Remove the filter cartridge if present. Press and hold Service to enter setting mode 1, then press until you see the descaling symbol. Press and hold Service to start. Follow the on-screen instructions: fill the tank with 0.5 L of Melitta ANTI CALC descaling solution, open the valve when prompted, etc. The program lasts about 25 minutes.
What type of coffee beans to use in the Melitta Avanza 600?
Use only whole roasted coffee beans. Do not use freeze-dried, caramelized, ground coffee or instant products. Overly oily beans can clog the grinder. For optimal aroma, only fill the hopper for 3 to 4 days.
How to adjust the grind fineness?
The grind fineness is adjusted during grinding. Open the cover on the right side of the machine. While the grinder is running, move the lever to the left for a finer grind (stronger coffee) or to the right for coarser. Wait until you have prepared at least 100 cups before adjusting.
What to do if the coffee drips out slowly?
This may be due to too fine a grind, clogging or limescale. Try setting a coarser grind. If the problem persists, clean the brewing unit and run the cleaning program. If necessary, perform a descaling.
How to use the 2-cup function?
Place two cups under the spout. Press the 2-cup button (the symbol lights up), then press the Coffee button. The machine grinds twice and dispenses two coffees one after the other. This setting is valid for one preparation only.
How to change the water filter cartridge?
When the filter cartridge symbol lights up, press and hold Service, select the filtration program, then follow the instructions: remove the water tank, empty it, screw on the new cartridge using the supplied key, fill the tank and replace it. Open the valve to rinse the cartridge.
How to turn off the auto shut-off?
The auto shut-off is adjustable. Press and hold Service, select the Auto Shut-off symbol, then use the Coffee Strength button to choose the duration (30 min, 1 h, 4 h, 8 h). To completely disable, select the non-stop mode (not specified, but the '8 h' setting is the maximum). The appliance turns off automatically after the chosen delay.
What to do if the appliance indicates the bean hopper is full when it is empty?
If the beans do not fall into the grinder, lightly tap the hopper. If the problem persists, clean the bean hopper. Use less oily beans. The Coffee Bean symbol flashes if the hopper is empty; after refilling, press the Coffee button to start an extraction and reset the indicator.

How to eliminate air in the pipes of the MELITTA Avanza series 600 coffee machine?
Frequently Asked Questions - 25/04/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The trapped air in the pipes of your MELITTA Avanza series 600 may come from prolonged inactivity, handling of the water tank, or use after transport. Here are the procedures to eliminate this air and restore optimal operation:

Automatic priming on startup: The simplest solution is to restart the device. When powered on, the machine automatically performs a rinse that removes air from the pipes. Hot water first flows from the Cappuccinatore and then from the spout - this is the automatic purging in action.

Check the water tank: Ensure that the water tank is properly filled and well positioned in the device. An insufficiently filled or poorly fitted tank can allow air to enter the system. Open the tank lid, remove it from the top by holding the handle, rinse it with clear water, fill it with fresh water, then replace it and close the lid until it clicks.

Clean the extraction chamber: A dirty extraction chamber can create air pockets and reduce water flow. Turn off the device, open the right side cover, press the red lever, and turn the extraction chamber handle clockwise until it clicks, then remove it. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly under running water, especially the filter cartridge which should not have any coffee residue. Let it drain, then reinstall it by turning counterclockwise until it clicks.

Descale the machine: Accumulated limescale can clog the pipes and promote air formation. Start the descaling program by turning on the device, pressing the Service button for more than 2 seconds, and then selecting the descaling program. The program lasts about 20-25 minutes and removes limescale deposits that block water flow. Only use Melitta® specific products for automatic espresso machines.

Manual purging procedure: If air persists after the previous steps, use the device's purge function. Turn on the machine, press the Service and Coffee buttons for more than 2 seconds to access setting mode 2, select the Purge function, and press the Service button for more than 2 seconds to start. The device will purge the air pipes through the steam tube of the Cappuccinatore.

If the problem persists after following these steps, it is possible that a pipe is damaged or an internal valve is not functioning properly. In this case, contact Melitta customer service, as internal repairs should not be performed by the user.

How to descale the MELITTA Avanza series 600 coffee machine?
Frequently Asked Questions - 09/04/2026
Response Notice-Facile

Regular descaling of your MELITTA Avanza series 600 coffee machine is essential to ensure optimal performance and prolong its lifespan. Here’s how to do it:

Steps to descale the MELITTA Avanza series 600

  1. Prepare the descaling solution: Use a descaling product specifically designed for coffee machines. Dilute it with water according to the manufacturer's instructions for the descaler.
  2. Empty the water tank: Ensure that the water tank is empty before starting.
  3. Fill the tank: Pour the prepared descaling solution into the water tank.
  4. Start the descaling program: Turn on the machine and start the descaling program if your model is equipped with one. Otherwise, run a brewing cycle without coffee to pass the solution through the system.
  5. Let the solution pass: Allow the descaling solution to flow completely through the machine.
  6. Rinse the tank: After the descaling cycle, empty the tank, rinse it thoroughly, and fill it with clean water.
  7. Rinse the machine: Run several cycles of clean water (without coffee or descaler) to remove any residue of the descaling product.

Tip: Perform this descaling regularly, depending on the hardness of your water and the frequency of use of the machine, to maintain coffee quality and the longevity of your appliance.

6.8 Setting the grinding fineness

The grinding fineness of the coffee powder influences the flavour of the coffee.

If the grinding fineness is set finer, the coffee flavour is stronger.

ATTENTION

Very finely ground coffee powder can clog the brewing unit.

The grinding fineness has been optimally set prior to delivery. Adjust grinding fineness at the earliest after about 100 coffees are dispensed (after

approx. 1 month, depending on coffee consumption).

- Do not set the grinding fineness too fine. The grinding fineness is optimally set when the coffee flows evenly out of the outlet and a fine, dense crema appears.

Adjust the grinding fineness while the grinder is running.

Requirement: The appliance is ready for operation.
