6. Temperature Adjustment

Coffee boiler temperature can be adjusted through the Display on the push-button panel of the Vibiemme 

Domobar Super 2B.

Once the 

Power Switch

 is on position II, the 

Display

 shows the word 

OFF

• Press the 

ON

 button until the display reads the pre-set temperature value.

• Press the 

Program

 button until the displayed value starts blinking.

• Now you can insert the desired coffee boiler temperature value. When the value stops blinking, the 

parameter you chose has been stored.

The button 

Program

 allows you to surf the menus and adjust other parameters. Those values concern 

some of the parameters already set by the manufacturer during the machine tests. Please check (only 

reading them on the display by means of the Program button) the following values and contact your 

dealer in case they are different from:

Parameter P......... 1,0

Parameter I......... 0,0

Parameter K........ 0,5

Offset.................. 19

Display variation

Depending on the outside temperature it is normal to see the display value to fluctuate 1 Fup or down 

from the set value. 

 

IMPORTANT: 

as already described in paragraph 3.1.3 of the general instructions, the temperature value 

shown on the display (both during setting than during data reading) takes also into consideration the 
offset value, so that what you see is the temperature coming out from the grouphead.

7. Pressurestat Adjustment

The pressurestat controls temperature (pressure) by sensing the pressure in the steam boiler. Accessing the 

pressurestat adjustment is simple. Simply remove the 

Cup Warming Tray

. Beneath you will see a perforated 

panel with a black plug. Remove the plug and fitting a screwdriver turning clockwise/counterclockwise to 

adjust the boiler temperature:

CLOCKWISE RAISES the TEMPERATURE

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE LOWERS the TEMPERATURE

*  for further information on how the increase ( decrease)  of the pressure effect the brew temperature, see the HX 
system guide chapter 3 – How it works

8.  Hints, Tips,  and Tricks

We have already reviewed in the general instructions some of the ways that you can control the way 

the Vibiemme Domobar espresso machine operates. The best example is the cooling flush which allows 

you equalize and control the brewing temperature throughout the brewing path as well as eliminate any 

steam that may have built up during an extended idling period. There are other procedures that you can 

use to gain further control over the way your Vibiemme operates.

8.1. Maximizing Steaming Power

You probably have noticed that the heating element cycles on an off while the machine is in operation and 

even when it is idling. That can be seen by watching the 

Heating Element Activity Lamp

 on the control 

panel. That cycling can be used to your advantage when steaming milk. For the greatest production of steam 

throughout the steaming cycle, start steaming just before the heating element turns off. You can judge this by 

watching the Heating Element Activity Lamp in conjunction with the boiler pressure gauge. The goal is to begin 

steaming when the boiler is as hot as its range allows while the heating element is still energized. As you draw
