Frequently Asked Questions - Simply Fresh MELITTA

How to set the water hardness?

Press and hold the descaling button (③) then briefly press the M button to select the level (I to IV) corresponding to your water hardness. Release the descaling button to save.

Can I use ground coffee with this machine?

Yes, select the ground coffee setting (⑮), place a Melitta 1x4 filter in the filter holder, add the desired amount of ground coffee (approx. 6 g per cup), then start brewing.

How to program the delay start (Timer)?

What to do if the descaling indicator lights up red?

The descaling button (③) lights up continuously to indicate that descaling is necessary. Pour a descaling product (recommended: Melitta Anti Calc Liquid) into the water tank, then briefly press the descaling button to start the automatic 25-minute cycle. After the cycle, rinse twice with fresh water without coffee.

How to clean the bean grinder?

Then, remove the container again, turn the grind selector to 'Open' (⑱), lift the hook and remove the grinder ring (⑲). Clean the grinder with the included brush (⑳) and a vacuum cleaner if necessary. Reassemble in reverse order.

Why does my coffee taste bitter?

A bitter taste can come from too fine a grind or too high a strength. Try selecting a coarser grind setting (⑫) or a lower strength (⑬). Also use a suitable filter and do not leave the coffee on the hot plate for too long.

Can the carafe go in the dishwasher?

Yes, the glass carafe, its lid, and the filter holder are dishwasher safe. For other parts, use a soft, damp cloth.

What does the flashing of three beans on the display mean?

How to change the coffee filter?

Open the filter holder (⑩) by pivoting it to the left. Remove the used filter. Fold a new Melitta 1x4 filter along the embossed seams and place it in the filter holder, pushing it in slightly. Close the filter holder until it clicks.

Any other use is considered to be improper use and may result in personal injury or damage to property. Melitta® is not liable for damage caused by improper use.

Please observe the following instructions to avoid injuries in case of misuse:

• The appliance must not be placed in a cupboard during operation.
• Connect the appliance only to a properly installed earthed socket.
• The appliance must always be disconnected from the power supply when unsupervised and

before assembly, disassembly or cleaning.

• During operation, parts of the appliance such as the steam outlet at the filter become very hot. Avoid touching these parts and avoid contact with hot steam.
• Do not open the filter holder during brewing.
• The hotplate becomes very hot during use and remains hot for a long time after the brewing process. Contact with the hot plate can cause burns, so avoid touching it.

• Do not use the appliance if the power cable is damaged.
• Do not allow the power cable to come into contact with liquids.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Do not use the jug in the microwave
• Do not clean the parts that come into contact with food with aggressive cleaning agents or scouring cream. Remove detergent residues with clean water. Further information on cleaning can be found under „Cleaning and care“.
• This appliance can be used by children from 8 years of age or older if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the equipment and have understood the potential hazards. Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children,

unless they are 8 years or older and are supervised. Keep the appliance and the power cable away from children under 8 years of age.

• The appliance may be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the potential hazards.
  • Children must not play with the appliance
• Replacement of the power cable and all other repairs may only be carried out by Melitta® Customer Service or by an authorised repair shop.

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 light can be turned on or off by holding down the H and M buttons ② for longer than 2 seconds.
• 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 10 cup level marker, then press the setting for using ground coffee ⑮ 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 descaling 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.

Please note:

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

• 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-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 1x4®.

• 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 ^ 1x4 ^ coffee filter at the embossed seams and place it in the filter holder ⑪. 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.
• Turn the grind dial ⑫, to select the required grind level (from fine to coarse). The grind dial allows you to select from 3 different settings. Settings between the symbols are also possible. The ‘fine’ setting is for standard coffee. This setting may give the coffee a slightly bitter character. If a coarser setting is selected the coffee will be less bitter.
• Press the button to select coffee strength ⑬. The selected coffee strength is shown in the display ②. One coffee bean #is for mild, two beans #for medium and three beans #for strong.
• Turn the appliance on using the start button ON/OFF ④. Coffee preparation begins and the green LED flashes.
• If you hear three warning tones when starting the grinding process or when programming the timer and the display shows three flashing beans, the bean container is not completely in place. If this happens please reinsert the bean container as described in point 7.

Note: The appliance has an overload safety function of the grinder, which protects the grinder against damage by foreign objects in the coffee beans. If you hear a loud chattering, unknown noise during the grinding process, switch the appliacne off ④ and clean the grinder as described in point 7.

• 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.

Additional note to clause 5.1

Melitta has no influence on possible foreign objects between the roasted coffee beans. As described in clause 5.1 of the manual the grinder is equipped with an overload protection. With this damages of the grinder due to foreign objects shall be avoided.

Rarely the overload protection will not be activated. The motor stops and there is no grinding sound to hear after switch on. In this case the appliance must be switched off immediately. A repeated switch on should be avoided. Clean the grinder as described in clause 7. of the manual. After that the appliance is ready for use again.

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 ^ coffee filter at the embossed seams and place it in the filter holder ⑪. 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 g 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 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.

6. Timer Feature

- Press the start button ON/OFF ④ and allow the appliance to grind until empty.

- After grinding use the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance off.

- Remove the bean container ⑰ again as described above.

Clean the grinder:

- Turn the grind level dial to 'Open' ⑱.

- Lift up the bracket and pull the grinder ring out of the grinder ⑲.

- Clean the grinder with the cleaning brush provided ⑳.

- To completely remove ground coffee deposits we recommend using a vacuum cleaner.

- Put the grinder ring ⑲ back in place and close down the bracket again.

- Turn the grind level dial back into a grind position ⑱.

- Put the bean container in place again as described above.

Descaling:

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 descaling 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 descaling process runs automatically. To remove even heavy calcification the descaling process takes about 25 minutes.
• Attention: Only by running the complete descaling 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 descaling process has been completed the light in the CALC button ③ goes off. The appliance turns off automatically.
• To completely remove any deposits from descaling, the appliance must be rinsed twice with the maximum amount of water without coffee, after the descaling process has ended. Proceed as described in point 2.
