USER INSTRUCTIONS

• Remove the grinder from its box and make sure that all packing parts have been taken off (including the protection bags).
• Lay the grinder on a flat surface to grant optimal steadiness.

Before using the machine please check:

• that the voltage corresponds to the voltage required as stated on the technical data label, on the bottom of the appliance.
• that the power cord has been plugged in the wall socket and that the switch (5) is on. The confirmation that the switch is on is that the red pilot lamp of the switch is on.
• that the beans hopper (1) contains coffee beans.

Starting the machine:
Before switching the grinder on, make sure that the hopper is covered with the relative lid. Press the grinding switch (3) with the filterholder in order to start the grinding and obtain the freshly ground coffee directly in the filterholder. Release the switch and verify the grinding and the quantity of the ground coffee.

Regulation of the micrometric grinding:
Rotate the grinding knob (2) to change the granulometry of the beans. Micrometric regulation does not require any blockage. Regulate the grinding with the grinder on if you have beans in the mills, with the grinder off if there are no beans. To regulate the grinding, rotate the grinding knob slightly (2) clockwise (to the right) to obtain a fine grinding, anti- clockwise (to the left) to obtain a gross grinding.

Routine maintenance and precautions:

• The grinding degree is the most important thing in order to obtain a creamy coffee. This degree changes according to the coffee blend.
• Please replace, once worn out, the conical mills.
• In order to change the conic mills, please contact an authorised service center.

CLEANING

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

Beans hopper (1) cleaning:

• The beans hopper must be cleaned at least once a week.
• Before starting, remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
• Use a soft cloth, preferably microfiber, like the one in the Lelit cleaning kit (code PLA9101 – not included), and moisten it with plain water, to clean the inside of the hopper (1) to remove the greasy layer left by the coffee beans.
• Do not use abrasive detergents and do not immerse the grinder in water.

Cleaning of the burrs:

• The burrs must be cleaned every 4 kg of ground coffee.
• 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 burrs 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 developed between the burrs, go rancid quickly and create moulds that damage the ground coffee in an irreversible way.
• The cleaning of the burrs and of the burrs chamber becomes extremely important.
• This must be performed with a specific product, like the Lelit burrs cleaning kit (code PLA9202 – not included), 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 burrs the crystals clean away the coffee deposits enabling the grinding of a coffee powder free of odours.
• Any eventual residues do not contain harmful substances to the consumer or to the grinder.

Cleaning the burrs is very easy, just follow the following steps:

• Empty completely the beans hopper (1).
• Press the grinding switch in order to get rid completely of the remaining coffee beans.
• Pour a pack of grinder detergent powder (PLA9202) into the hopper (2), paying attention to the fact that the powder must penetrate the burrs.
• Press the switch (3) for about 5 seconds so that the powder penetrates completely through the mills.
• Fill the hopper (1) with coffee beans.
• Throw away the first couple of portions of ground coffee, the cleaning is over.
