NORMAL OPERATION
GAUGES
The Vetrano 2B Evo has a dual manometer. There is one gauge that displays the
brew and steam boiler pressure.
STEAM PRESSURE
The top needle (12) reflects the steam boiler pressure. After turning the machine on
it will take approximately 15 minutes before the gauge will show any pressure.
Once up to pressure, the needle will cycle back and forth roughly between 1-1.5
bar. You will see a drop in steam pressure if there is use of the steam wand (03) or
hot water wand (05).
BREW PRESSURE
The lower needle (13) reflects the brew pressure. In order to get an accurate read
of the pump pressure, do not do so with coffee in your portafilter. Install your
backflush disk into the portafilter and lock it into your group. Raise the brew lever.
In a few seconds, the pressure should rise to around 9-10 bars.
WATER RESERVOIR
When the water level in the water reservoir is low a low-water alarm will sound.
This alarm will sound when the reservoir is removed as well. When the reservoir
alarm has alerted you, the heating circuit will also cease operation protecting the
heating element. This will be reflected on the face of the machine by the two heat-
ing indicator lights turning off (16).
HOT WATER WAND
The use of this hot water wand is exclusively for heating cups, as is traditionally
customary. It is not recommended to remove more than 6 oz. of water at any given
time. The machine must be up to temperature before it is able to dispense hot water
from the steam boiler. Failure to allow for recovery and adequate temperature may
cause damage to the heating element.
If you want to make an americano we recommend using a hot water kettle, for the
reasons mentioned above, along with the fact that the water coming from the steam
boiler is much too hot to drink (250 degrees Fahrenheit).
