Notes from the research
  • La Spaziale's manual is only found on retailer hosts (laspaziale.com publishes brochures, not manuals), so its values are basis community.
  • La Spaziale's manual has no backflush, descale, gasket or filter guidance; backflush intervals come from Chris Coffee's Mini Vivaldi II guide, which is written for the II (this row may be the first-generation Mini Vivaldi, which LSC 014 also covers).
  • No descale interval or procedure from any source; no steam wand deep clean, boiler water change, gasket life or service interval.
