4. Setting the hotplate
(ONLY Melitta
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:
• Simultaneously hold down the START button and
the TIMER button and by briefly pressing the M
button set the desired warming time (20, 40 or
60 minutes). The current warming time is 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.
