4 Starting up
When starting the appliance for the rst time, please carry out the following steps.
When you have completed these steps, the appliance is ready for operation. You
can now prepare coffee.
We recommend pouring away the rst two cups of coffee after the rst start
up.
4.1 Setting up
• Place the appliance on a stable, level, and dry surface. Make sure that
there is a distance of 10 cm to the wall and other objects.
• The Melitta®CAFFEO®LATTEA®has two rollers on the back side of the
appliance. It can thus be easily moved by slightly lifting it from the front.
Caution!
–Never place the appliance on hot surfaces or in damp areas.
–Do not transport or store the appliance in vehicles or rooms at low
temperatures, as the remaining water could freeze or condense and
thereby damage the appliance. Follow the instructions on page 72.
• The coffee grounds container is located in the drip tray. Please make
sure that the drip tray is pushed into the appliance all the way to the
stop.
Notes
–Keep the packaging material, including hard foam elements, in order to
avoid damage during transport or in case of return shipments.
–It is normal to nd traces of coffee and water in the machine before it is
started up for the rst time. This is because the appliance has already
been tested for faultless function at the factory.

48
4.2 Connecting
• Plug the power cable into an appropriate power socket.
Warning!
Danger of re and electric shock due to incorrect supply voltage,
incorrect or damaged connections and power cord.
–Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the supply voltage
specied on the identication label of the appliance. The identication label
is on the right side of the appliance behind the cover (Fig. B, no. 14).
–Make sure that the power socket meets the applicable standards for
electrical safety. If in doubt, contact a qualied electrician.
–Never use damaged power cables (damaged insulation, bare wires).
–During the guarantee period, allow the damaged power cable to be
replaced only by the manufacturer; and only by qualied specialists after
the guarantee period is over.
4.3 Filling the bean container
• Remove the lid of the bean container and ll the container with fresh
coffee beans.
Caution!
–Fill the bean container with coffee beans only.
–Never ll the bean container with ground, freeze-dried, or caramelised
coffee beans.

process), the symbol for the water tank will be illuminated. The current
operation will be stopped and the water tank must be lled before starting a
new operation.
4.6 Switching on for the rst time
All of the tubes have been drained and aired out at the factory. For this reason, the
rst time the appliance is switched on, the symbol for the milk shower will be
illuminated after the heat-up phase and the appliance must be vented via the milk
shower.
Caution!
The appliance may only be vented without the Melitta®Claris® water lter and
with a full water tank.

6 Inserting the Melitta®Claris®water lter
A Melitta®Claris® water lter is supplied with the appliance for ltering out limescale
and other contaminants. Please only insert it after starting up the appliance
for the rst time. If you use the lter, you will have to descale the appliance less
frequently and the water hardness will automatically be set to hardness level 1
(see page 58). The service life of your appliance will be extended thanks to this
reliable protection from limescale. The water lter should be changed regularly
(every 2 months); at the latest, however, it must be changed when the symbol for
the water lter is shown on the display.
Prerequisite: The appliance must be switched off (see „Switching on and off“
on page 51).
• Simultaneously press the button for coffee strength and the ON/
OFF button for more than 2 seconds.

open the milk shower.

ENGLISH
53

under the milk shower.
• When water is no longer owing out of the outlet and the symbol for the
milk shower is illuminated, turn the rotary switch for the milk shower
anti-clockwise to close the milk shower.
→Subsequently, the standby symbol and bean symbols will be
illuminated. The appliance is ready for operation and water hardness is
automatically set to hardness level 1.
Notes
–The Melitta®Claris® water lter should not remain dry over an extended
period of time. We therefore recommend storing the Melitta®Claris®water
lter in the refrigerator in a glass of water when the appliance will not be in
use for extended periods.
–After inserting the Melitta®Claris® water lter, excess active charcoal will
be washed out of the lter the rst time the appliance is rinsed out. This
can cause the rinse water to appear slightly grey in colour. The water will
clear again subsequently.

runs out of the milk canister into the vessel below the canister. The ow of
water stops automatically after about 90 ml.
• Turn the rotary switch for the milk shower anti-clockwise to close the
milk shower (this can also be done prematurely if you desire less milk
froth).
• Now start the coffee dispensing process, e.g. to prepare a latte
macchiato.
