What to do, and how often

Job How often The manual’s sentence

“It is advisable to backflush the machine once a month (washing the operational parts used during brewing) using the blind filter supplied (d) and the LELIT detergent sachets (code PLA9201 – not included).”
Portafilter & basket soak After each use

“However, to ensure the best performance from your machine, it is essential to thoroughly clean the steam wand and filterholder after each use.”
Descale No interval; depends on use and water hardness

“Use of the machine creates a natural formation of limescale, over a time period depending on how frequently the machine is used and on the hardness of the water.”
Group head wipe / flush Every month

“Use the brush (code PLA9101 – not included) to clean the coffee group (6), the group gasket and the fixing rims of the group.”
Steam wand purge & wipe After each use

“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 obstruct the steam output, making it more difficult to froth milk properly.”
Steam wand deep clean When the machine does not dispense steam

“Free the hole with the aid of a needle.”
Water filter / softener replacement Periodically; instructions on the filter box

“Remember that the filter loses its effectiveness after a certain number of gallons treated, so replace it periodically.”
