How to set the single /double dose:
If you set the time to get 7g (what we advise for 1 dose), wait till the grinder has finished grinding and press the
switch (4) another time to get the double dose (14 g).
Memory of the grinding time:
If, during grinding, you release the switch (4) before the grinding is over (to adjust the coffee in the portafilter or
by mistake), the grinder keeps in memory the remaining grinding time for three seconds. The pilot lamp (7) blinks
to warn you that the set dose has not been totally released. Within three seconds, if you press the switch (4)
again, the grinder will finish grinding the set dose. If you do not press it within three seconds, the grinder will not
keep the remaining time in memory and the next time you press the switch (4), it will grind the set dose from the
start.
Reset the set factory values:
With the grinder off, keep pressed the switches (3) and (4) contemporarily and then switch it on by pressing the
switch (6). The pilot lamp (7) will confirm the reset blinking quickly. Release the switches (3) and (4). With the
switch (6) turn the grinder off and then on again. The set factory values are 6 seconds for 1 dose.
Routine maintenance and precautions:
-
The grinding degree is the most important thing in order to obtain a creamy coffee. This degree changes
according to the coffee blend.
-
Please replace, once worn out, the conical mills.
-
In order to change the conic mills, please contact an authorised service centre.
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 (
code PLA9101
- not included), and
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 espr
esso 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 molds 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 (
code PLA9202
–
not included), i.e
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 into the hopper (1), paying attention to the fact that the powder must
penetrate the burrs.
- Press the switch (4) 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.
