Quick Answer

Install the Lelit Wood Kit for MaraX by carefully removing the original knobs and levers, then attaching the new wooden components with the provided hardware. Follow the assembly instructions and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.

Why Choose a Wood Kit?

The Lelit Wood Kit for MaraX adds a touch of natural elegance to your espresso machine. Available in Maple and Walnut, the kit includes two knobs for the steam and hot water wands and a knob for the extraction lever. It’s a simple way to personalize your machine without altering its performance.

Important Considerations Before You Start

Before beginning, ensure your machine is turned off and completely cool. The wood kit is designed for MaraX models PL62X, PL62, PL62T, and PL62-W. If your machine is a different model, the kit may not fit. Also, note that the kit does not include a tool for removing the original knobs; you may need a small flathead screwdriver or an Allen key, depending on your machine's configuration.

Installation Steps

  1. Prepare the Machine: Turn off the espresso machine and unplug it. Allow it to cool completely to avoid burns. Gather the kit components and a small flathead screwdriver or Allen key. Ensure the machine is off and cool before starting.
  2. Remove the Original Knobs: Locate the screws on the underside of the steam and hot water knobs, and the extraction lever knob. Use the appropriate tool to loosen and remove the screws, then pull the knobs straight off. Keep the screws in a safe place. Don't force the knobs; if they stick, gently wiggle them while pulling.
  3. Attach the Wood Knobs: Align the new wooden knobs with the valve stems and push them on firmly. Reinsert the screws and tighten them just until snug. Avoid over-tightening, as this can crack the wood. Over-tightening can damage the wood – snug is enough.
  4. Test the Operation: Plug the machine back in and turn it on. Test the steam and hot water wands and the extraction lever to ensure the knobs are secure and function smoothly. Verify all knobs rotate smoothly without wobbling.
