Notes from the research
  • Lelit hosts only technical sheets on lelit.com; the manuals are behind the care.lelit.com login, so every value is from retailer-hosted copies of Lelit's own manuals and is basis community.
  • The two manual editions disagree on backflush frequency (weekly 2021 vs monthly older); both recorded, 2021 preferred.
  • Group gasket and shower screen replacement and water tank cleaning are not stated.
