Vetrano Introduction First of all, thank you for your business! You are going to love your new Vetrano – it combines beauty, value, and great brewing for making the best espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes you’ve ever tasted! These instructions include hints that will help you get started quickly. First Time Set Up • Before connecting your machine to your water source, test your water for hardness using the provided test strips.
Vetrano • The boiler filling indicator light will illuminate and the pump will come on to start filling the boiler. The boiler should fill in approximately 60 seconds. If the pump has not turned off and finished filling after 60 seconds then turn the main power switch off and wait 5 minutes. • After waiting five minutes then turn the main power switch on again. The pump should come back on to continue filling the boiler.
Vetrano Brewing Espresso First let me begin by explaining the three main variables of preparing great espresso. 1. Quantity of ground coffee 2. Tamp firmness 3. The grind The quantity of ground coffee. Loosely fill the basket slightly mounding over the top. Then lightly run your finger arched across the basket from left to right, right to left, front to back, and then lay your finger flat on the basket and go from back to front to remove any excess coffee.
Vetrano Steaming Milk - Basics First, let’s talk about some of the things you need to learn in order to become ‘barista-like’ in your techniques. Milk – Whole milk works best to steam, both in technique and in flavor! Lower fat milks contain mostly water which will not foam well and will be almost tasteless when steamed. After all your hard work you will be left with a less than desirable tasting beverage.
Vetrano Steaming Milk - Technique As you face your espresso machine, point the steam arm over your drip tray and open up the steam valve in order to purge out any unwanted water that may have collected inside the wand due to condensation – you do not want that added to your delicious beverage! Next, position the steam arm so it is facing directly toward you and slightly angle it 45 degrees from the base.
Vetrano Hot Water Wand Operation • The hot water wand uses the steam pressure to push the hot water out of the boiler so the machine must be up to temperature before it is able to give any hot water. • To use the hot water wand, position the cup or pitcher under the wand and then open the hot water knob. Once the water has reached the desired level then close the hot water knob. • It is not recommended to remove more than 6 oz.
Vetrano Backflushing with espresso machine cleaner is the same procedure as above with a few minor differences. The first difference is backflushing with espresso machine cleaner only needs to be done approximately once a month or every 35-50 espressos. I don't recommend backflushing with cleaner more often than once every three weeks since overuse will remove oils that lubricate the brew lever and valves. You can water backflush as often as you prefer.
Vetrano Expansion Valve Adjustment Warning: This adjustment requires removing the shell and making an adjustment with the machine plugged in so it is very important to exercise extreme caution. Failure to do so may cause injury, and or electrical shock. Chris’ Coffee Service and it’s distributors assume no liabilty for failure to follow this warning. • The expansion valve is used to allow for the expansion of heated water in the heat exchange.
Vetrano Setting Steam Pressure Warning: This adjustment requires removing the shell and making an adjustment with the machine plugged in so it is very important to exercise extreme caution. Failure to do so may cause injury, and or electrical shock. Chris’ Coffee Service and it’s distributors assume no liabilty for failure to follow this warning. • It is only necessary to remove the top of the machine to adjust the steam pressure. • Before making an adjustment the machine should be up to temperature.
Vetrano Group Gasket And Shower Screen Replacement • The group gasket is a black rubber gasket that makes the seal between the portafilter and the group head. We recommend replacing the gasket on a yearly basis. The Vetrano uses an E61 8.5mm gasket. They can be purchased from our website at the link below. http://www.chriscoffee.
Vetrano Cleaning The Group • Before installing the new gasket and screen it is very important to clean the group head. Make up a solution of hot water and backflushing cleanser. Using the provided cleaning brush and cleanser, clean the group head and be sure the groove that the gasket sits in is completely free of any residual gasket material and coffee grounds or the new gasket will not seat properly.
Vetrano Troubleshooting No Steam From Steam Wand • Make sure the machine has been turned on for at least 15 minutes. • Check the upper portion of the gauge for steam pressure. Pressure should be about 1.2 bar. If the gauge is at zero then refer to the “Not Heating” section of the troubleshooting manual. If pressure is good then continue with steps below. • Check the steam tip for a blockage. Clean steam tip holes with a paper clip.
Vetrano Not Heating • Verify the machine is plugged into the outlet and the outlet has power. Verify the power switch is in the “on” position. • Make sure the water is turned on to the machine. If the water was turned off, then turn the power switch off, unplug the machine and then wait 5 seconds and then plug the machine back in and turn the power switch on. • Check the resettable hi-limit switch on the boiler. Unplug the machine from the outlet and remove the top of the machine.
