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 filter holder should ne-
ver be washed in a dishwasher. The-
re 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 machi-
ne, it is essential to thoroughly clean
the steam wand and filter holder after
each use.
The filter holder 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 re-
lease a little steam to remove any milk
residues from inside the tube, as these
could obstruct the steam output, ma-
king it more difficult to froth milk pro-
perly.

Descaling the machine

Use of the machine creates a natural for-
mation of lime scale, over a time period
depending on how frequently the ma-
chine 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.
