The cleaning chamber is designed to allow water to circulate through the capsule drawer and disperse via multiple small holes in the side wall of the cleaning capsule, creating a rinsing effect. Without a capsule in place, water may flow directly out of the drawer without the rotating rinse action, which could cause splashing. Operating the machine without a capsule may lead to leaks during drainage, as the drawer and machine may not seal properly without the capsule's thickness for a secure fit. Tip: If the coffee machine is not maintained regularly, residues such as coffee grounds, scale, and dust can accumulate in internal components like the grinder, extractor, and powder chamber. This buildup may affect hygiene and reduce the machine's lifespan. Performing regular maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, calibration of key parts, and replacement of seals and other wear items, helps extend the machine's life and maintain cleanliness.
