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 ma-
chine to cool.
Use a soft cloth, preferably microfiber,
like the Lelit cloth (Cleaning Kit code
PLA9101 – not included), and moisten
it with plain water. Do not use abrasive
detergents and do not immerse the ma-
chine in water.
For thorough maintenance, we suggest
you use the Lelit brush (Cleaning Kit
code PLA9101 – not included), which
will help you clean the nozzles and the
spaces between the gaskets more ef-
fectively, removing stains and coffee
residues from even the smallest cracks.
Warm running water can be used to
clean the removable parts of the ma-
chine. The filters and filter holder should
never be washed in a dishwasher.
There is no need to clean the filters after
each use, but just to ensure they are not
clogged.
Lelit Espresso - English
However, to ensure the best perfor-
mance from your machine, it is essen-
tial to thoroughly clean the steam wand
and filter holder after each use.
The filter holder should be cleaned to re-
move the greasy coffee residues that can
negatively affect the taste of your espres-
so.
Wash the exterior part of the steam
wand with a damp cloth and release a
little steam to remove any milk residues
from inside the tube, as these could ob-
struct the steam output, making it more
difficult to froth milk properly.
Descaling the machine
Use of the machine creates a natural
formation of lime scale, over a time pe-
riod 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, al-
tering the quality of the coffee and reducing
the lifetime of your machine.
