Cleaning Lelit Elizabeth

    Backflush

    1. Place some coffee machine detergent in a blind portafilter
    2. Press Button 1 and Button 2 together. This will do a quick backflush and stop.
    3. Wait for a minute to let the detergent activate.
    4. Press B1 & B2 together again.
    5. Wait for about 30 seconds
    6. Repeat step 4.
    7. Finally, run the automatic backflush by pressing B1 & B3 together. This runs several (8, I think) backflushes before coming to a halt. Side note: I have to press B1 & B2 in a rapid succession to get this activated, pressing it together at the same time doesn’t work.
    8. Repeat step 7 depending on how far back the last backflush was
