Maintenance

How to look after your Pro 800

A lever machine, such as the Profitec Pro 800, ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva or Elektra Microcasa a Leva, is not backflushed with a blind basket. It does best with daily cleaning, the right water, and gaskets and piston seals that are replaced and lubricated in good time. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.

Good to know about the Profitec Pro 800

Warm-up about 40 minutes

Profitec specifies about 40 minutes depending on room temperature. ECO mode switches off the machine after 90 minutes by default.

Never backflush

The lever group must never be cleaned with a blind basket. Wipe the group with a damp cloth and a brush once it has cooled down.

Release the lever slowly

Lift the lever a little and release it slowly, and do not remove the portafilter until the lever is back in the neutral position.

  1. Every day
    • Knock out the puck, rinse the basket and wipe around the group gasket
    • Wipe and purge the steam wand after every use
    • Wash the portafilter, baskets and drip tray
  2. Every week
    • Brush the group gasket and shower screen while the machine is cool
    • Steam tip in milk system cleaner
    • Soak the baskets and portafilter (not the handle)
  3. Every month
    • Wash the water tank
    • Check for leaks at the piston rod and group
    • Measure the water hardness if you change water source
  4. Every 6–12 months
    • Replace the group gasket and piston seals when needed
    • Lubricate the piston seals during servicing
    • Descale as described in the manual, replace the tank filter every 2–3 months

Water and filters

The right water protects your machine

The best protection for a lever machine is the right water. Only descale as described in the manual for your model: La Pavoni specifies 2–3 times a year, while for ACS the interval depends on hardness and use. Follow the manual and contact us if you are unsure.
The target is 2–4 °dH. Use a filter in the tank, or BWT Bestmax if the machine is plumbed in. Do not use distilled water.
0 °dH2–4 °dH recommended15 °dH

Can be plumbed in

Your Pro 800 has a rotary pump and can be connected directly to the mains water supply. We recommend BWT Bestmax with an installation kit.
