CLEANING
Cleaning and maintenance of the grinder are essential for the quality of the grinding and the durability of the
appliance.
Beans hopper (1) cleaning:
The beans hopper must be cleaned at least once a week.
Before starting, remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
Use a soft cloth, preferably microfiber, like the one in the Lelit cleaning kit (
moisten it with plain water, to clean the inside of the hopper (1) to remove the greasy layer left by the coffee
beans. Do not use abrasive detergents and do not immerse the grinder in water.
Cleaning of the burrs:
The burrs must be cleaned every 4 kg of ground coffee
It's well known that the coarseness of the ground coffee affects the quality of the espresso in the cup.
During grinding, some coffee particles deposit between the teeth of the burrs reducing the distance between the
discs, or between the cones and consequently also the size of the grains of coffee powder which come out of the
grinder.
These deposits, consisting of fats and oils, due to the high temperatures developed between the burrs, go rancid
quickly and create moulds that damage the ground coffee in an irreversible way.
The cleaning of the burrs and of the burrs chamber becomes extremely important.
This must be performed with a specific product, like the Lelit burrs cleaning kit (
a powder formed by small crystals based on gluten-free food starches with a very high absorbing power for oils
and fats.
Passing through the burrs the crystals clean away the coffee deposits enabling the grinding of a coffee powder free
of odours.
Any eventual residues do not contain harmful substances to the consumer or to the grinder.
Cleaning the burrs is very easy, just follow the following steps:
- Empty completely the beans hopper (1).
- Press the grinding switch in order to get rid completely of the remaining coffee beans.
- Pour a pack of grinder detergent powder (PLA9202) into the hopper (2), paying attention to the fact that the
powder must penetrate the burrs.
- Press the switch (3) for about 5 seconds so that the powder penetrates completely through the mills.
- Fill the hopper (1) with coffee beans.
- Throw away the first couple of portions of ground coffee, the cleaning is over.
