Procedures are from Lelit's manuals where they exist. Retailer methods and owner reports are marked as such where they appear, and nothing here was checked on a machine. Three things are not settled and are flagged where they appear: the shower-screen screw's drive, the brew-pressure adjustment, and the timing of the automatic cleaning cycle.
Also not known: the factory values of the technical menu, whether the display tracks the softener filter, the length of the hot-water time-out, a full drain procedure, and the 230 V part numbers for the boilers, coffee element and pump. No video was watched for this guide.
The body is measured from Lelit's parts diagram (PL92T-120, 2023), tied to the official 380 mm height: 297 wide, 264 deep. Front-panel positions are good to about 1 mm. The depth of the group, hot-water outlet and wand under the housing is placed by eye, and the inside is a schematic. Panel screws, the valves and probe on the steam boiler, the thermostats and the steam tap are modelled to their listed sizes but placed by eye. Tools shown are the same products as in the Profitec guide.
