Cleaning the milk pipework
Ensure that all components in which
milk is transported are cleaned on a
regular basis. Milk naturally contains
bacteria that rapidly multiply if the
milk pipework is not cleaned proper‐
ly. Soiling in the appliance may be
dangerous to health.
The milk pipework must be cleaned at
least once a week.
The coffee machine will prompt you at
the correct time. Clean the milk pipework

days before the coffee machine is due
