Coffee Preparation; Cleaning And Maintenance; Safety Instructions - Melitta Single 5 Gebrauchsanleitung

GB
Your Melitta Single 5 is equipped with a speci-
al valve (Fig. 6). It prevents, that the water
runs into the filter, before it is hot enough. This
ensures, that already by preparing of small cup
volumes the coffeegrind has contact only with
water of an optimale temperature. All valuable
components of the coffee will be dissolved –
for full coffee enjoyment and best drinking
temperature from first to last cup!
Before preparing your first cup
of coffee . . .
• read all operating and safety instructions carefully.
• make sure that the voltage in your home corre-
sponds with the voltage indicated on the bottom of
the appliance.
• clean the appliance by filling the water tank with
clear cold water and allow the water to run
through (without coffee).

Coffee Preparation

1. Insert plug of the appliance into socket.
2. Raise lid of water tank and pour the required
amount of fresh cold water out of the glass jug
into the water tank (Fig. 1). The number of cups of
coffee is determined by referring to the scale on
the glass jug and the water level indicator (Fig. 2).
3. Lift the filter lid. Fold over the seamed edges of the
filter bag size 1x2 and place it into the filter (Fig. 3).
The inner filter insert is removeable.
4. Scoop the filter-fine ground coffee into the filter
bag. Recommendation: use one level coffee measure
(approx. 6 g) per cup or vary according to taste.
5. Close the filter lid. Place glass jug with lid on the
hot plate under the filter.
6. Switch the appliance on – the on/off switch lights
up (Fig. 4) – showing that the machine is operating.
7. The "drip stop" prevents dripping, when the jug is
taken away after filtration (Fig. 5).
8. As long as the machine is switched on, the hot
plate keeps the coffee hot. For best result, it is
advisable not to keep filtered coffee warm for
more than one hour.
Additional Instructions:
• Before starting the brewing cycle, the lid must be
on the glass jug to ensure that the filter outlet is
open.
• Switch the machine off between two brewing cycles
and leave it to cool down for approx. 5 minutes.

never be cleaned under running water or immersed

Descaling
In hard water areas scale will eventually build up in
your machine which unfortunately cannot be avoided.
You should descale your machine regularly (after
every 40 filtrations) to ensure perfect operation. Use
Swirl Bio-Descaler or Swirl Quick-Descaler for effi-
cient descaling.
Important:
After descaling repeat brewing process with clear
cold water (without coffee) at least 2 to 3 times.
