Lelit Bianca: Calibrating the Flow Control Paddle

Recalibrating the flow control paddle on the Lelit Bianca is quite simple. Here's how it's done.

Tools Needed:

• 2mm allen wrench

1. Rotate the paddle all the way to the right and access the 2mm allen screw on the backside of the part. Loosen, but do not remove the 2mm allen screw.

3. Lift the paddle straight up off the spindle, then use your fingers to turn the spindle clockwise until it stops. You may need to use a hand towel to firmly grip the spindle tight enough to be able to turn it.
NOTE: Stop as soon as you reach the spindle's natural stopping point, don't force it any tighter.

4. Replace the paddle onto the spindle so that it is pointed all the way to the left. Tighten the 2mm allen screw back down with the paddle in place.

Things to keep in mind when adjusting the paddle:

-Adjusting it too far to the right will make it so that you cannot slow the flow through the paddle, and the grouphead will run at full pressure.

-Adjusting it too far left will result in the flow control "bottoming out" on the gicluer in the grouphead, this can break the gicluer, so DO NOT force the paddle to the left if you feel resistance - this can damage the components of the flow control device
