After cleaning a Santha melanger, there are minute brown chocolate spots from water...

Hi TCL friends,

I just bought my first melanger, a Santha 11, and did an experimental batch of chocolate. I must say it ground the sugar particles down to nothing in 3 hours. I was very impressed. So then I had to clean it. I got as much chocolate out of and off of the parts as I could then cleaned it in hot water and set off to dry. Now looking at it I can see little brown spots, very small, that are chocolate particulate in cracks and recesses that has been in contact with water. So my question is will this "pollute" my next batch of chocolate or can I ignore this stuff?

Thank you to all who answer!
