User manual

Attention!

Read the information given in the user manual carefully (see Chapter 2 , Page 2-1 ).

1.1 Hygiene

Note:

Prior to commissioning do the daily cleaning (see Chapter " Cleaning ").

Attention!

•

Please follow the generally valid hygiene HACCP regulations!

(HACCP= Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point)

•

Do not use raw milk. Use only pasteurised or UHT milk. Homogenized milk must always be used.

•

Milk that has already been heated up or for which the expiry date has lapsed may not be used.

•

When using packaged milk, it is recommended for hygienic reasons to use the milk directly from the original packaging.

•

The milk in the refrigerator must have a temperature of approx. 3 °C to 5 °C. If this rule is not followed, it is not possible to dispense an optimal product.

•

Only refill with milk which has not exceeded 5 °C. Never put warm milk in the refrigerator. It takes too long for a temperature of 3 °C to 5 °C to be reached. The refrigerator will also ice up.

(Frequent defrosting required).

•

For daily and weekly cleaning, proceed as described in chapter " Cleaning ".

•

Never spray the machine with water or other liquids.

•

For cleaning, never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.
