To avoid the formation of limescale,
which can also deposit in the inter-
nal circuits, we recommend the use
of our Lelit resin filter 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 componen-
ts, ADD ONLY NATURAL DESCALING
PROD UCTS INTO THE WATER TANK.
Watch the tutorial
to understand how
the water softener
filters work.
Backflushing
It is advisable to backflush the ma-
chine once a month (washing the
operational parts used during
brewing) using the blind filter sup-
plied (d) and the Lelit detergent
sachets (code PL103 - not inclu-
ded).
PL103
This is done very easily, simply by fol-
lowing the instructions on the sachet.
Any other servicing must be perfor-
med only by an authorized service re-
presentative.
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
crystals based on gluten-free food
