To avoid the formation of limescale,
which can also deposit in the inter-
nal 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 wa-
ter from the calcium and magnesium
salts which are deposited to form lime
scale and affect the taste of your cof-
fee. Remember that the filter loses its
effectiveness after a certain number
of gallons treated, so replace it pe-
riodically. Instructions for the use and
replacement of the filter are given on
the box. To avoid any possibility of
damaging the machine's components,
NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTAN-
CES, ADD ANY DESCALING PRO-
DUCTS TO THE WATER TANK.

Cleaning of the mills
It's well known that the coarseness of
the ground coffee affects the quality
of the espresso in the cup.
During grinding, some coffee par-
ticles deposit between the teeth of
the millstones reducing the dis-tance
between the discs, or between the
cones and consequently also the size
of the grains of cof-fee powder which
come out of the grinder.
These deposits, consisting of fats and
oils, due to the high temperatures de-
veloped between the mills, go rancid
quickly and create molds that damage
the ground coffee in an irreversible
way.
The cleaning of the mills and of the
mill chamber becomes extremely im-
portant. This must be per-formed with
a specific product (PL104 – not inclu-
ded), i.e a powder formed by small
