To fix the "insert brewing unit" error on a Melitta Caffeo Solo:
1. Ensure the brewing unit is correctly inserted and locked in place. 2. If the buttons for single and two-cup operation flash alternately with the On/Off button: - The brewing unit may be missing or not properly inserted. - Insert the brewing unit properly. 3. If the brewing chamber is overfilled: - Switch off the appliance. - Switch it on again via the On/Off button. - Repeat if necessary until standby mode is displayed. 4. If all buttons flash continuously (system error): - Switch off the appliance. - Switch it on again via the On/Off button. - If the problem persists, send the appliance to the service organization.

Adjusting grinding fineness The grinding fineness level was optimally adjusted prior to delivery. Consequently, we recommend that you only readjust grinding fineness after approximately 1,000 coffee preparation processes (approximately 1 year). You can only set the grinding fineness while the grinder is running. Thus, adjust grin- ding fineness directly after coffee dispensing starts.
