2. Before preparing coffee for the first
time
• Make sure that the supply voltage in your household
complies with the voltage specified on the type plate
on the bottom of the appliance.
• Install the appliance on a dry, flat and stable surface.
• Only connect the appliance to a correctly installed
earthed mains socket.
• All appliances are tested for proper working order
during production. This may leave behind traces of
water, for example.
• Rinse the appliance twice with clean water before
preparing coffee for the first time. Do not use any
filters while doing so and proceed as follows:
• Activate the appliance. Press and hold the BREW
button for more than 1 second. The BREW
button starts to flash rapidly.
• Fill the water tank up to the 8-cup mark. The remo-
vable tank can be filled straight from the water tap .
Alternatively, you can also fill water directly into the
tank in the appliance by using the glass jug . You
can read the quantity of water required on the
scale on the tank .
• Check whether the filter holder is placed correctly
in the intended position underneath the outlet and
has been pushed into the mount on the appliance
correctly . Then start the appliance by pressing
the BREW button briefly (<1 sec.). The BREW
button will now flash slowly. After a brief warm-up
period, water will flow out of the outlet into the
filter holder.
• A signal tone will indicate that the water has flowed
through completely. Empty the jug and switch off
the keep-warm plate by pressing the BREW button
longer (>1 sec.).
• Repeat the described steps one more time. After a
brief cooling period, you can then use the appliance
to prepare coffee for the first time.
3. Coffee preparation
3.1 Preparation
• Fill the water tank with the required water quantity.
The removable tank can be filled straight from the
water tap . Alternatively, you can also fill water
directly into the tank in the appliance by using the
glass jug . You can read the required quantity of
water required on the scale on the tank .
• Pull the filter holder vertically from its mounting
on the appliance and insert a filter paper . For
good flavour and optimum fitting in the filter holder,
we recommend using Melitta
• Put ground coffee into the filter paper according
to your taste and the number of cups required. Then
smooth the surface of the coffee powder as much
as possible. If possible, weigh 7 to 8 g freshly ground
coffee per cup.
Light to medium roasts with a medium grinding fineness
are particularly suited to filter coffee preparation.

standards (www.ecbc.info) and fulfils the demanding
Customer

conditions of the "Coffee Brewer Certification
Programme" in terms of coffee quality.
• Push the filter holder back into the appliance moun-
ting . Make sure that it engages audibly.
3.2 Brewing
• Activate the appliance. Press and hold the BREW
button for more than 1 second. The BREW
button starts to flash rapidly.
• We recommend pre-brewing the coffee ("blooming")
for the best results. Briefly pressing (<1 sec.) the
PRE-BREW button before the start of brewing
activates this setting for the subsequent coffee
preparation. The PRE-BREW button lights up
continuously and the water flow is stopped briefly
at the start of brewing after initial damping of the
coffee. Press again to deactivate pre-brewing. The
last setting is stored for the next preparation.
• Start the coffee preparation by pressing the BREW
button briefly (<1 sec.). The BREW button now
starts to flash slowly.
• Note: If you hear a brief signal sound three times
during this process, there is no water in the water
tank. If you are unable to start brewing and hear
three short signal sounds despite the water tank
being full, lift the water tank slightly and fit it back
