Inspect the area of the inner panel under the Cup Warmer Tray. There should be a small black plug
inserted in the panel. If not, it is possible that it fell into the machine during shipping. If the plug is not
visible, remove the six slotted screws (three on each side of the back panel) and slide the panel off to
the rear of the machine. It can help if you spread the front of the panel just enough get it to slide easily.
Replace the back panel when the plug has been retrieved.
To replace the Cup Warmer Tray, hold it at a sloping angle with the front edge lower then the rear.
Lower the front edge in place, then lower the back edge until it hooks the back edge of the machine.
Return the shipping materials, packing, plastic bags, padding, and boxes to their original locations save
them in case the machine needs to be shipped in the future. The machine must be repacked in a original
box for shipping to avoid damage.
CAUTION: Do not plug the machine in at this time!
The Drip Tray Cover has a front and a rear side. The rear side (the edge facing away from you that sits
up against the front of the face of the machine) has a cutout in the corner as shown here.
Where you place your machine is important. The size and weight of Vibiemme Domobar espresso machine
is such that having it in a location where it will not need to be moved is highly recommended. One of the
first considerations is placing the machine where you will have access to the water reservoir. Locating
the machine under an overhead cabinet will make access to the water reservoir nearly impossible. Having
the machine somewhere near a sink for easy disposal of the contents of the drip tray as well as washing
various parts after use is a good idea, but don't place it so close that washing dishes and other such chores
will cause splattering on the machine which could leave difficult- to-remove stains. You should also allow
room to have the grinder close by the espresso machine. Logically, there needs to be an electrical outlet
that can handle the load from the machines. If you have any doubts, or if the circuit breaker trips when
using the machine you should use another circuit. If you have any doubts, please consult an electrician for
professional advice. The circuit needs to be protected by a GFCI and have surge suppression of 10 amper.

Upon careful inspection you may find some water stains or wet spots on your new Vibiemme Domobar
espresso machines that make the machine appear used. These spots are from testing at the factory to be
sure that the machine is operating properly before shipping.
NOTE: Be aware that once the machine is in place it will be quite difficult to move on
the counter because of the non-skid feet. Carefully chose a location for the machine.
The other items in the box are as follows:
1 - a double Portafilter with double basket
2 - a single Portafilter with single basket
3 - a Blind Filter Basket for cleaning chores
4 - a Grouphead Brush for cleaning the shower screen and grouphead gasket
5 - a Coffee Measure
6 - a Plastic Tamper
It is best to just place the tamper back into the small packing box as it should not be used. We highly
recommend a proper-sized tamper for best results. All Vibiemme Domobar espresso machines use a
commercial-sized 58mm filter basket.
