What it means
According to the official Cecotec instruction manual for the Cumbia Power Matic-ccino 9000 Serie Nera and Serie Bianca coffee machines (references 01592 and 01593), "Cleaning of the milk system" ("Limpieza del sistema de leche" in Spanish) is displayed on the screen after milk has been used. It prompts you to run the automatic cleaning cycle for the milk frother (cappuccinatore) and maintain the transparent milk tube and rear frother holes. Other Cecotec models may use different menu messages, and seeing this prompt alone never proves that a component is faulty.
