What does Jura Professional Clean the milk system mean?
Milk leaves a film in lines, valves and fittings, and it spoils quickly if left. The machine keeps track of milk use and prompts for cleaning with Clean the milk system. The manual's action is to perform milk system cleaning as described in Chapter 5. This is a maintenance prompt, not a failure, and doing the cleaning clears it. If it is put off, the machine may keep asking, and milk taste and hygiene suffer. The prompt can come straight back if a cleaning program was interrupted, or if the milk lines were not connected to the cleaning solution as the instructions require. The wording is for the GIGA X8, and the WE8 uses a separate rinse prompt.
