Introduction
First of all, thank you for your business! You are going to love your new Vetrano espresso
machine. It combines classic beauty, value, and great performance for making the best
espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes you‟ve ever tasted! These instructions include tips that
will help bring out the Barista that‟s hidden within! Enjoy your new machine!
First Time Set Up
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 the 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, then it is strongly
recommended that a softener system be installed to prolong the life of your machine.
Included with the braided water line are two fiber washers. One washer is to be used
in between the elbow connection of the braided line and where it attaches to the
back bottom of the machine. The other washer is to be used if you will not be using
the provided John Guest fitting. (No teflon tape needed)
Attach the braided water line to the back bottom of the machine using the provided
fiber washer. Attach the other end to your water source using the provided John
Guest fitting. The machine comes standard with a 3/8” John Guest fitting, but a 1/4”
fitting can also be installed. To use the John Guest fitting the tubing needs to have a
clean rounded cut using a tubing cutter or a sharp razor blade. Then insert the
tubing into the John Guest fitting until it bottoms out.
If you are not going to be using the John Guest fitting then you will need to use the
additional fiber washer and you will need to purchase a 3/8” male BSPP fitting.
After connecting both ends of the braided water line, turn on the water supply and
verify there are no leaks.
