• 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  and by briefly
pressing the M-button  set the desired time
(20, 40 or 60 minutes). The current warming
time will be shown in the display .
• 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 .

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  to the amount of water
in the water tank . The number of cups is shown

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.

5.1 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
dH
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
4
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 .

medium and three beans
• Turn the appliance on using the start button ON/
OFF . 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  and
clean the grinder as described in point 7.
• When the coffee is ready the green LED  is illu-
minated 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 .
• The drip stop  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.
