CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and maintenance of the machine are essential for the quality of the coffee and the durability of the appliance. Cleaning The machine must be cleaned at least once a week. Before starting, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and allow the machine to cool. Use a soft cloth, preferably microfiber, like the Lelit cloth (code MC972 - not included), and moisten it with plain water. Do not use abrasive detergents and do not immerse the machine in water. For thorough maintenance, we suggest you use the Lelit brush (code PL106 - not included), which will help you clean the nozzles and the spaces between the ga-skets more effectively, removing stains and coffee residues from even the smallest cracks. Warm running water can be used to clean the removable parts of the machine. The filters and filterholder should never be washed in a dishwasher. There is no need to clean the filters after each use, but just to ensure they are not clogged. However, to ensure the best performance from your machine, it is essential to thoroughly clean the steam wand and filterholder after each use. The filterholder should be cleaned to remove the greasy coffee residues that can negatively affect the taste of your espresso. Wash the exterior part of the steam wand with a damp cloth and release a little steam to remove any milk residues from inside the tube, as these could obstruct the steam output, making it more difficult to froth milk properly.Pagina 13 English BACKFLUSHING: It is recommended to perform this cleaning at least once a week and / or at least every 100 brewed coffees The following instructions apply to all types of groups fitted to our espresso machines. Material needed:

• Blind filter (code MC002/C for portafilters with 57mm diameter)

• Detergent powder for espresso machine (code PL103) Group cleaning. Follow these steps:

1. Place the blind filter in the portafilter

2. Add 1 tea spoon of detergent powder (3-5 grams) in the blind filter

3. Insert the portafilter into the brewing group

4. Switch the espresso switch on for about 10 seconds

5. Stop the espresso brewing and wait for 10 seconds

6. Without removing the portafilter, repeat this operation 5 times

7. Remove the portafilter, switch the espresso switch on again and rinse the portafilter under the hot water that

comes out of the group. Turn the switch off

8. Clean the brew group and the brew gasket first with the brush and then with a damp cloth in order to

remove all coffee powder rests

9. Insert the portafilter into the brew group again and repeat points 4-5-6 without detergent powder

10. Throw away the first espresso you’ll brew

Cleaning of the accessories through immersion. Follow these steps:

1. Place the filters and portafilter in a jug with the portafilter handle upwards

2. Pour 3 tea spoons of detergent powder in the jug (10 grams)

3. Pour 1 liter of hot water in the jug until the metallic part of the portafilter is completely immerged

4. Wait at least 15 minutes

5. Remove the immerged parts and rinse them with plenty of warm tap water

6. Throw away the first espresso you’ll brew

DESCALING THE MACHINE

Use of the machine creates a natural formation of lime scale, over a time period depending on how frequently the machine is used and on the hardness of the water. Lime scale deposits can obstruct the tubes and decrease the brewing temperature, altering the quality of the coffee and reducing the lifetime of your machine. To avoid the formation of limescale, which can also deposit in the internal circuits, we recommend the use of our Lelit resin filter (code MC747 - MC747PLUS - not included) to soften the water. Please insert the filter in the tank following the instructions on the packaging. The filter purifies the water from the calcium and magnesium salts which are deposited to form lime scale and affect the taste of your coffee. Remember that the filter loses its effectiveness after a certain number of gallons treated, so replace it periodically. Instructions for the use and replacement of the filter are given on the box. To avoid any possibility of damaging the machine’s components, ADD ONLY NATURAL DESCALING PRODUCTS INTO THE WATER TANK.Pagina 14 English
