Cleaning
The grinder must be cleaned every 4
kg of ground coffee.
Before starting, remove the plug from
the electrical outlet.
Use a soft cloth, preferably microfiber,
like the Lelit cloth (code MC972 - not
in cluded), and moisten it with plain
water. Do not use abrasive detergents
and do not immerse the grinder in
water.
Cleaning of the mills
It’s well known that the coarseness of
the ground coffee affects the quality
of the espresso in the cup.
During grinding, some coffee particles
deposit between the teeth of the mill-
stones reducing the distance between
the discs, or between the cones and
consequently also the size of the
grains of coffee powder which come
out of the grinder .
These deposits, consisting of fats and
oils, due to the high temperatures de-
veloped between the mills, go rancid
quickly and create molds that damage
the ground coffee in an irreversible
way.
The cleaning of the mills and of the
mill chamber becomes extremely im-
portant. This must be performed with
a specific product (PL104 – not inclu-
ded), i.e a powder formed by small
crystals based on gluten-free food
starches with a very high absorbing
power for oils and fats.
Passing through the mills the cry-
stals clean away the coffee deposits
enabling the grinding of a coffee pow-
der free of odors.
PL104
Any eventual residues do not contain
harmful substances to the consumer
or to the grinder.
Cleaning the mills is very easy, just fol-

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance of the grinder are essential for the quality of the
grinding and the durability of the appliance.
