2. Before first use

GB
• Ensure that the mains voltage in your home corre-
sponds 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 .
• Set the current time using the buttons 'h' and 'm' .
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 
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  up to the 10 cup
level marker, then press the setting for using ground
coffee  and turn the appliance on .
• 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 
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  and by briefly
pressing the m-button  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:
• Water hardness cannot be programmed while brewing.
• The last water hardness level chosen remains even
after removing the power cable.

4. 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 .
• Fill the water tank. The removable tank can be filled
directly at the tap. Alternatively use the insulated jug
to pour the water into the tank in the appliance . The
required amount of water can be seen on the water
level indicator on the tank.
• Close the water tank lid and place the insulated jug
with closed lid in the appliance.
• Set the number of cups  to the amount of water
in the water tank . The number of cups is shown
in the display .
Note: Ensure that the selected number of cups
corresponds to the amount of water in the water
container . 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.

4.1 Using coffee beans

• When the bean container is completely full, you can
brew enough coffee for 10 cups 2 or 3 times. Roast-
ed 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 . 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  to the left.
• Fold a Melitta
®
seams and place it in the filter holder . 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 , 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 . The
selected coffee strength is shown in the display .
