Introduction Vetrano 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 • After waiting five minutes then turn the main power switch on again. The pump should come back on to continue filling the boiler. If the pump keeps running for more than 45-60 seconds again then unplug the machine and check to make sure that the water supply is turned on. • After the boiler has finished filling then place whichever portafilter you intend to use into the group head.
Vetrano First let’s 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 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. Milk – Your whole milk needs to be as cold as possible to ensure the creamiest, sweetest, and best tasting micro-foam.
Vetrano Holding your half-filled steam pitcher with the handle facing you, submerge the tip of the steam wand approximately an inch below the surface of the cold milk. Your pitcher bottom should be parallel with the countertop. The steam arm should gently rest in the spout of the steam pitcher. Now slightly tilt the pitcher left, keeping the arm away from the side of the pitcher. Open the steam valve completely and position the pitcher so the tip is just below the surface of the milk.
Vetrano Warning: The water from the hot water wand is approximately 250° and exits the boiler under force due to the steam pressure. Extreme caution is advised when using the wand or injury may occur. Regular Maintenance Backflushing is a vital maintenance procedure you must follow to help keep your machine running flawlessly for years to come. There are two types of backflushing; one with plain water, and the other with espresso machine cleaner.
Vetrano Setting Pump(brew) 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. We assume no liability for failure to follow this warning. • Unplug the machine from the outlet and then remove the outer body panels. • Plug the machine back into the outlet and then turn the power switch on.
Vetrano • The expansion valve is used to allow for the expansion of heated water in the heat exchange. This water is discharged into the drip tray via a black plastic spout. During heat up it is normal for the black plastic spout to discharge some steam and hot water into the drip tray. • Before making an adjustment the machine should be up to operating temperature. • After the machine is up to temperature follow the instructions for setting the pump pressure and raise the pump pressure to 12.5 bar.
Vetrano 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. We assume no liability 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 • Before replacing the group gasket and shower screen the machine should be turned off and cooled down so that the grouphead is cool to the touch. Gasket and Screen Removal • There are two ways to remove the group gasket and shower screen depending on how old they are. If you replace the gasket yearly then the first method shown is recommended. If the gasket is older and dried out then the second method shown will be necessary.
Vetrano Gasket And Screen Installation Step 1 With the writing/beveled side of the gasket facing up insert the screen into the gasket as shown to the right. It is also recommended to use a little bit of food grade lubricant around the perimeter of the gasket to make installation easier. Step 2 Remove the insert basket from one of your portafilters and then insert the screen and gasket into the portafilter as shown to the right.
Vetrano 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. • Check the steam wand for a blockage by unscrewing the steam tip from the wand.
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.
