Notes from the research
  • Elektra's own sites (elektracoffee.com, elektrasrl.com) publish no manual publicly (download area needs a login); the training manual used is a retailer-hosted copy, so everything is basis community.
  • No descale, piston seal, lubrication or service guidance in the training manual.
