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 PLA930S – PLA930M - 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.
