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 inclu-
ded), and moisten it with plain water.
Do not use abrasive detergents and
do not immerse the machine in water.
For thorough maintenance, we sug-
gest 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 dishwa-
sher.
There is no need to clean the filters
after each use, but just to ensure they

sential to thoroughly clean the steam
wand and filterholder after each use.

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 remo-
ve any milk residues from inside the
tube, as these could obstruct the ste-
am output, making it more difficult to
froth milk properly.

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 hard-
ness of the water.
Lime scale deposits can obstruct the
tubes and decrease the brewing tem-
