Milk Pipework; Bean Container And Ground Coffee Chute - Miele CM5500 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and care

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 properly. Soiling in the
appliance may be dangerous to
health.
The milk pipework must be cleaned at
least every 5 days.
There are two options for cleaning the
milk pipework:
– You can remove and dismantle the
central spout with its integrated
cappuccinatore and either wash it in
the dishwasher or by hand with warm
water and a little washing-up liquid
(see "Central spout with integrated
cappuccinatore").
– Or you can clean the milk pipework
using the
Clean milk pipework
maintenance programme together
with the Miele cleaning agent for milk
pipework (see "Maintenance
programmes - Rinsing the milk
pipework").
Useful tip: In addition to your weekly
cleaning routine we recommend
carrying out the alternative cleaning
procedure once a month. For example if
you manually clean the machine once a
week, then you should run the
maintenance programme once
pipework
a month. This combination will ensure
that the milk pipework is cleaned
optimally.

Bean container and ground
coffee chute

Switch off the machine and
disconnect it from the power supply
before cleaning the bean container.
Coffee beans contain oils which can
deposit on the walls of the bean
container and hinder the flow of the
beans. Therefore, clean the bean
container regularly with a soft cloth.
 Open the bean container.
 Remove any coffee beans.
 Clean the bean container with a dry,
soft cloth.
The bean container can now be refilled.
If necessary, clean the ground coffee
chute:
 Open the coffee chute and remove
any ground coffee residue.
Useful tip: Use a vacuum cleaner to
remove any coffee residues from the
bean container and the ground coffee
chute.
