Actual brew and steam temperature
The Lelit Elizabeth can actually be set to show the target brew temperature rather than the actual brew
temperature. It would be unusual to set the machine like this in the advanced settings, however if it is
set that way, Lelit give you the option of viewing actual brew temperature. If the machine is already set
to show actual brew temperature the first press of the + button will appear to have no effect. The
second press of the + button shows the steam boiler temperature
After a few seconds of no button press, the display returns to it's "home Screen" where the actual or
preset brew temperature will be displayed along with the status of the steam boiler.
Home Screen
The display with either display brew temperature, or brew temperature with an eco symbol if the steam
boiler is off.
Other functions
These are selected by pressing the minus (-) button.
