5 1 HACCP cleaning concept
VORSICHT
Health risk/Hygiene
If individual bottles or the Flavour Point are not used for long periods of time, germs can grow and
the syrup can dry out.
►Carry out a cleaning process before and after operating breaks of several days.
►Also refer the cleaning instructions of the coffee machine.
►Replace the hoses at regular intervals.
►Observe all hygiene notes.
►Observe the HACCP cleaning concept.
All cleaning products are perfectly matched to the cleaning programmes.
HACCP: Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point
The HACCP cleaning concept is designed to ensure safe food. Hazards related to the processing of food or emanating
from finished products are considered and the risks are assessed. The risks are mitigated by appropriate measures.
When installation, maintenance, care and cleaning are performed properly, Schaerer AG optional accessories sat-
isfy the HACCP requirements.
