The coffee machine

Instructions

Quick set of instructions for the treasured Vision Group coffee machine.

On/off

  • when you switch it on for the first time in the morning (and off in the evening) the machine goes through an auto-rinse cycle… don’t switch off the mains power during that

  • single/double buttons and the long/short and weak/strong knobs do what you expect beans versus ground coffee

  • you can use coffee beans (when they are present). they are refilled in the compartment (top-left when looking at the machine from the front). there is also an option for using ground coffee. you need to switch on that mode (button 3) and then you can feed in 1 measuring spoon only in the middle compartment/chute. if you overfill then the machine will complain about it and the infuser and inside needs to be cleaned. warning lights

  • if light 1 is on, water needs refill (compartment on the right)

  • if light 2 is on, waste bin needs emptying (compartment on the left) - while you are at it, also just dump stuff from the drip tray routine checks

Checks

Things that need checking every now and then: water tank ok? drip tray full?

voilà!
