hear after switch on. In this case the appliance must
be switched off immediately. A repeated switch on

• Fold a Melitta coffee filter at the embossed
® ®
seams and place it in the filter holder . Use your
hand to press the filter in to ensure the best fit.
• Put the ground coffee in the coffee filter. The amount
of coffee you use depends on your personal taste. We
recommend using 6 g of ground coffee per cup.
• Swivel the filter back into the appliance. An audible
click indicates that the filter is in place.
• Turn the appliance on using the start button ON/
OFF . Coffee preparation begins and the green
LED flashes.
• 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.
6. Timer Feature
The appliance is equipped with a TIMER. This allows
you to start brewing coffee automatically at the time
you set.
• Prepare the appliance as described in point 5. 'coffee
preparation' but without pressing the start button
ON/OFF .
• To set the required start time, hold down the
TIMER button . The first time you set it, the
time indicator and the clock symbol will flash in the
display . Set the required start time by repeatedly
pressing the H and M buttons . It is possible to
speed this up by holding in the respective button.
• Two seconds after you let go of the TIMER button
the current time will be displayed again. The start
time you selected is saved until a new time is se-
lected or the appliance is removed from the power
supply.
• Pressing the TIMER button  briefly activates the
timer feature for automatic coffee preparation. The
start time you set appears briefly in the display .
The clock symbol in the display  and the white
LED are illuminated .
• The appliance starts preparing coffee automatically
at the time you set.
• If you do not remove the appliance from the mains
electricity or programme a new start time then the
time previously set is saved.
• The TIMER feature can be deactivated at any
time by pressing the TIMER button . The white
LED  and the clock symbol  are no longer
illuminated.
