Lelit Anna PID maintenance: what the manual says

Lelit’s published guidance lists 8 maintenance jobs for the Anna PID. Each is below with how often and the sentence it comes from.

What to do, and how often

Job How often The manual’s sentence
Backflush (detergent) Every month

“Put a 1g cleaning tablet (Ref. LE62535) on the blind filter (23)”
Backflush (water) Every week

“Backflushing with plain water should be done at least once per week, however you can backflush as often as you like, it will keep the shower screen extra clean.”
Portafilter & basket soak Every month

“Clean all the filters and the filterholder/portafilter by soaking them in hot water from the machine with a 1g cleaning tablet (Ref. LE6535) for 30 minutes”
Group head wipe / flush Every month

“With a brush (25) (Ref. VD800), complete the cleaning operation of the coffee unit joint (5).”
Shower screen clean Every month

“You may also gently wipe the coffee unit shower (5) with a soft cloth in order to remove any residue”
Steam wand purge & wipe Immediately after frothing

“Immediately clean the nozzle (6) with a damp cloth so that no milk residue lodges on it”
Water filter / softener replacement Every 32 litres of water

“It is important to change this filter every 12 fillings of your water tank for the LEMC747, and every 24 fillings for the LEMC747 Plus.”
Boiler refill purge after steaming Every day at start-up and right after each use of the steam wand

“It is important to purge your machine every day when you start it and right after each use of the steam nozzle, especially if it has been used to froth milk during the preparation of your cappuccino.”

Notes from the research
  • No Lelit-authored PL41TEM manual at a curlable URL: lelit.com hosts only the technical sheet, the manual sits behind care.lelit.com, and retailer copies found are ManualsLib-derived or offline. Values come from the Canadian importer's guide (Wayback copy) and an NZ retailer, both community.
  • No descale guidance, gasket/shower screen replacement, drip tray or tank cleaning, boiler water change or service interval.
  • The two community sources disagree on detergent backflush (monthly vs fortnightly/35-50 shots); both recorded.
