Introduction
First of all, thank you for your business!
You are going to love your 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 Setup
• Before connecting your machine to your water source, test your water for hardness using
the provided test strips.
Fill a glass with cold tap water; dip the tip of the test strip into water for one second, then
pull the strip out of the water and hold it horizontally for fifteen seconds. After fifteen
seconds, compare the color of the strip to the chart on the side of the package to determine
how many grains of hardness is in your tap water. Three grains or less of hardness is
acceptable.
Note: Should your water’s hardness level exceed three grains, contact Chris’ Coffee
Service to discuss your options for addressing this problem, unless you have already done
so prior to your purchase.
• Inside the drip tray, there is a plastic bag. Inside the bag are two washers. One washer is
for the braided water line that connects to the bottom of the machine, the other end of the
water line has a female John Guest fitting. If you do not wish to use the female John Guest
Fitting, you will need a washer on that end.
Before plugging the machine in, verify the steam and hot water valves are closed. The brew
lever should be pointing straight down.
• Plug the machine in and turn the power switch to the on position.
Your pump will start filling the boiler in approximately three seconds and should be full in
approximately 45-60 seconds. Note: You will know when the boiler is full - the pump will
stop running. If your machine does not fill the boiler in 60 seconds, turn the machine off.
Wait five minutes and then turn the machine back on. If the pump starts running again and
continues to do so for another 30 to 60 seconds, unplug the machine - something is not
right. Before calling us please be sure you have water getting to the machine.
When the pump stops, place whichever portafilter you intend to use into the group. Next, lift
the brew lever to start the pump and keep the lever up until water comes out of the
portafilter. Your machine’s heat exchanger is now full.
