Cleaning And Care; External Cleaning - Melita epos Instrucciones De Uso

• Adjust the number of cups to the amount of water
and coffee used.
• Start making coffee by briefly pressing the BREW
button. The LED indicator for the BREW button will
start flashing slowly and the coffee will be prepared
as described in 3.3.
• epos was tested according to the "Coffee Brewer
®
Certification Program" by the European Coffee
Brewing Centre (ECBC). To reach the ECBC Gold
Cup Standard use 60 g of ground coffee with 1 l of
water.
3.5 Fine adjustment of grind quantity
• The number of cups and the coffee strength
setting determines the grinding quantity. Since each
individual perceives coffee strength differently, it is
possible to finely adjust the default settings when
the grinder is activated.
• A long press on the coffee strength button activates
the fine adjustment. LED 2 on the coffee strength
indicator lights up.
• A subsequent short press on the strength button
displays LED 3. In this setting, the grind time
determined by the number of cups and the strength
setting is increased by 10%. This increases the quan-
tity of coffee that is ground.
• A subsequent short press on the coffee strength
button displays LED 2. This shortens the grind time
by 10% and reduces the quantity of coffee that is
ground.
• Press and hold the coffee strength button to save
the required setting.
3.6 Manual extraction control
• It is possible to control extraction manually after
starting the brewing process.
• With a long press on the coffee strength button
manual extraction control is switched on and
depending on the current direction of rotation of
the spout, LED 1 or LED 3 on the coffee strength
display starts to flash.
• If LED1 flashes, the spout rotates clockwise and the
outer area of the ground coffee is moistened. LED 3
indicates the opposite direction of rotation and the
central area of the ground coffee is moistened.
• The direction of rotation of the spout can be changed
by briefly pressing the coffee strength button.
• The direction of rotation can be changed as often as
required. Manual extraction control can be stopped
with a long press on the coffee strength button. The
appliance automatically continues the extraction
control set before brewing by selection of the num-
ber of cups and coffee strength.
4. Warm keeping / Automatic switch off
Keeping the coffee warm for a longer time on the
hot plate changes the taste of the coffee. To avoid
this, you should enjoy your coffee as fresh as possible
immediately after brewing. Keeping the coffee warm
unnecessarily also consumes valuable energy.
If you nevertheless want to keep the coffee warm,
the appliance switches off automatically 40 minutes
after brewing. During warming up, the BREW button
lights up continuously. You can also switch off the hot
plate manually by pressing and holding the BREW
button for longer than 1 second.
If the appliance is not used, it switches off automatically
after 5 minutes. Your last settings are saved automatically.
You can then reactivate the appliance by pressing
and holding (>1sec.) the BREW or GRIND button.
By pressing the GRIND or BREW button again for a
long time (>1sec.) you can switch from the grinding
to the brewing function or vice versa.
5. Descaling
Depending on the hardness of the water used, the
calcification of the machine increases each time you
brew coffee. The appliance indicates this by illumina-
ting the CALC display in red . When you see this,
descale the unit as soon as possible. Please use a
commercially available descaler. We recommend the
use of Melitta
"Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee &
®
Aqua Machines".
5.1 Descaling process
• Prepare the descaling liquid according to the ma-
nufacturer's instructions and pour it into the water
tank.
• Place the jug on the hotplate.
• Activate the appliance with a long press (>1sec) on
the BREW button, just as you would when making
coffee.
• A subsequent short press of the BREW button
starts the descaling process. You do not need to take
other settings into account in this process.
• Once about half of the liquid has passed through the
unit, stop the process by briefly pressing the BREW
button.
• Wait 10 minutes for the residual descaling liquid to
remove limescale from the machine.
• Then activate the appliance again with a short press
on the BREW button, and let the remaining liquid
run through the appliance.
• When you hear a beep, press and hold the BREW
button to turn off the appliance.
• Empty the jug.
5.2 Rinsing process after descaling
• To remove any remaining descaler residue, the
machine must be rinsed after descaling.
• After a short cooling time, fill the water tank to the
8-cup mark.
• Activate the appliance, switch it on and let all the
water run through the appliance.
• When you hear a beep, press and hold (>1sec) the
BREW button to turn off the appliance.
• If the appliance has been completely descaled
during the decalcification process, the CALC light
no longer lights up during the rinsing process. If the
CALC light does light up, the calcification of the
appliance was so advanced that one decalcification
process was not sufficient to completely decalcify
the heating element. In this is the case repeat the
decalcification and rinsing process.
• Rinse the glass jug.

6. Cleaning and care

6.1 External cleaning

• Switch off the machine before cleaning and dis-
connect the power cable.
• Allow the appliance to cool completely before
cleaning it.
• Clean the parts that come into contact with coffee
(jug, filter holder, etc.) after each use.
• The housing can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
