4. Setting the hotplate
(ONLY Melitta

AromaElegance

DeLuxe)
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.
5. Making coffee
For aromatic coffee flavour and the best fit for your
filter bag in the filter holder, we recommend using

• Ensure that the appliance is connected to a power
source.
• Remove the detachable water tank by holding the
recessed grip and pulling straight up.

• Remove the water tank lid and fill with the desired
amount of fresh water from the tap. Using the water
level indicator on the tank you can choose the
correct number of cups.
Small cup symbol = approx. 85ml coffee per cup,
large cup symbol = approx.
1
25 ml coffee per cup.


tank back in the appliance. Please ensure that you
replace the tank upright in the appliance. The guide
rails on the appliance (left of the tank) will help you
with this.

at the embossed seams
and place in the filter holder. Press the filter bag into
the filter holder by hand, to ensure the best fit.

• Put the ground coffee into the filter bag. The amount
depends on your personal taste. We recommend
using 6 g of ground coffee per large cup.

the eyelet of the filter on the top of the swivel arm
and afterwards press the round base into the clip. An
audible click tells you it is inserted properly.

preparing less than 6 cups, the Melitta

of coffee you get the best aromatic coffee experi-
ence. When making 2-5 cups press the START but-
ton

flashes and brewing begins.
• After making the coffee the hotplate keeps it warm
and turns 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 your coffee from dripping,
when you remove the pot from the appliance.
