Congratulations on the purchase of your new Melitta
®
Choco Latte
Hot Beverage machine. You have purchased an innovative and
reliable appliance which we hope will give you years of enjoyment.
As with every technical appliance, there are some fundamental
aspects of this machine which should be observed. Please read
the operating instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place.
Above all, please pay attention to all safety instructions and
warnings.
Cord Compartment (Figure 3)
Your machine has a cord storage compartment to hide excess
cord and reduce countertop clutter.
Before Initial Use
Before you make coffee for the first time, you should perform the
brewing procedure once or twice using the maximum quantity of
water in order to clean your machine.
Fill the fresh water tank with cold water to the upper level marking.
Without using ground coffee or filter paper, switch the appliance on
and let the water run through it into the thermal carafe. Discard
water after it has run through the machine.
Making Coffee
1. Fill with water (Figure 4)
Lift the lid above the water tank. Remove the water tank using
the handle and fill it with cold tap water to the upper level marking.
Never use hot water. Never fill the water tank with milk,
prepared coffee, tea, etc.
The cup markings are on the water tank (Figure 1/C). The
markings refer to the quantity of fresh water. The actual yield
amount of coffee will be less, because the ground coffee
absorbs water.
Replace the water tank and close the lid.
Hint: To pre-warm the thermal carafe, rinse it out with hot water
before making coffee. DO NOT fill the thermal carafe with cold
water when it is still hot. All extreme temperature changes should
be avoided.
2. Insert filter paper (Figure 5)
Press the button to open the swing-out filter (Figure 1/L). The
filter automatically swings out to the right (Figure 5). Insert a
Size 4 Melitta Cone paper filter into the filter holder. Fold the
crimped edges over first.
