Instructions

Your Melitta Single 5 is equipped with a spe-
cial 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!
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 into the water tank
(Fig. 1). The number of cups as well as the max.
amount of water is determined by referring to the
scale of 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 jug or mug into the appli-
ance. Attention: before using the mug open the
coffee entry hole by turning the lid. (Fig. 5a) Then
place the mug into the appliance in a way, that the
bump on the lid opens the drip stop (Fig. 5b)
6. Switch the appliance on – the on/off switch lights
up (Fig. 4)
7. Drip stop prevents dripping when jug or mug are
taken away.
Additional Instructions:
• Start brewing process only with jug lid or opened
and correctly placed (see Fig. 5) mug lid to ensure
that the drip stop is open.
• Switch the machine off between two brewing cycles
and leave it to cool down for approx. 5 minutes.

washingup liquid for cleaning the exterior. Appliance

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.

After descaling repeat brewing process with clear
cold water (without coffee) at least 2 to 3 times.
