03. Attach the other end to your water source using the provided 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 is secured. (Not using John Guest? Click here to purchase a
3/8” Male BSPP fitting.)
04. After connecting both to 21 & your water source, turn the water
source on and inspect for leaks before turning the machine on.
05. Turn the machine on and check that the pump does not fill for longer
than 60-seconds. If it does – turn the machine off again and see if the water
source is supplying the machine with water.
UNBOXING
STEP 01
Do not plug in the machine.
Remove the drip tray grate (09) and locate the feet. Place a soft towel on
your counter and tip the machine gently backward exposing the underside of the
machine.
Put the four feet on the Vetrano 2B.
While the machine is resting on the soft towel on its back, while installing
the feet, make sure the water source switch (18) is in the intended position
(right/0 = reservoir, left/I = plumb) This is also where your LED light
switch (19) lives (closest to the outside of the machine).
STEP 02
Test your water. Condition if needed with appropriate measures i.e.: 3rd wave
water (following manufacturers specifications), bottled, or an in-tank
softening pouch (reservoir only). Do not use distilled water or reverse
osmosis systems.
STEP 03
RESERVOIR
If using reservoir: Access the reservoir by lifting the hinged door (01) on
the back of the machine. Rinse the reservoir with warm water, and make sure
it’s securely seated in place.
You’ll know the reservoir has been seated appropriately when the low water
alarm stops sounding.
DIRECT PLUMB
Make sure the two switches (18, 20) on the bottom of the machine are in the
‘I’ position and follow the instructions on the previous page.
STEP 04
Before plugging your Vetrano 2B Evo in, make sure the steam knob (03) and the
hot water knob (05) is completely closed and the brew lever is in the down
position pushed as close to the front panel as possible.
STEP 05
If your machine was requested in 15A instead of 20A, please attach the
included converter cord to the built-in cord on the Vetrano 2B Evo. This
converter cord can be found in your separate accessory box. Only use the
converter cord in 15A mode, failure to adhere to this voids warranty and could
cause a fire.
FIRST TIME SET-UP
STEP 01
Make sure your Vetrano 2B Evo’s power switches (14) are both in the off/left
position. The indicator lights (15) will be unlit.
STEP 02
RESERVOIR
If using reservoir: Access the reservoir by lifting the hinged door (01) on
the back of the machine. Fill to the max fill line in the reservoir and repeat
until the low water alarm ceases sounding.
DIRECT PLUMB
If you haven’t already, follow the directions on page 03.
STEP 03
With your Vetrano, 2B Evo plugged in and your water source prepared plug the
machine into a GFI outlet (recommended but not required). Turn the coffee
boiler switch (14, Top) on, if you plan on using the steam wand (03) or the
hot water wand (05) turn on the steam boiler with (14, bottom) on. You should
see a green light illuminate (15) next to each switch in the on position.
STEP 04
Install your portafilter of choice, either the double or single-spouted
portafilter (10), into the group (07). At this point, you should see that the
heating indicator light(s) (16) for each boiler should be illuminated. The
machine should reach the appropriate temperature in about 15 minutes, but to
make delicious espresso it’s necessary to allow the machine to fully heat for
30 minutes with the portafilter (10) engaged in the group (07).
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 the 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 heating 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).
ADJUSTING PUMP BREW PRESSURE
STEP 01
The Vetrano 2B Evo has a dual manometer (12/13). There is one gauge that
displays the brew and steam boiler pressure. We will be referring to the
bottom needle (13) for your brew pressure. For an accurate reading, insert the
backflush disk in place of the insert basket into the portafilter. Always
check pump pressure with the backflush disk in place of the insert basket
prior to making any adjustments.
STEP 02
Remove the rubber grommet/plug on the right-hand side of your Vetrano 2B Evo.
This will expose the rotary pump’s adjustment screw, as shown.
STEP 03
Raise the brew/cam lever (11). If the desired pressure is not reached in a
couple of seconds with the brew/cam lever (11) raised and the backflush disk
in place of the insert basket within the portafilter (10) adjust accordingly.
REDUCE BREW PRESSURE
Turn the pump’s adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the brewing pressure.
INCREASE BREW PRESSURE
Turn the pump’s adjustment screw counterclockwise to increase the brewing
pressure.
STEP 06
Once the desired pressure is reached and determined with the backflush disk
installed in place of the insert basket in your portafilter.
After adjusting the pressure on your machine, you may notice that an
adjustment on your grinder will also be required.
ENERGY SAVINGS
The new feature economy has the ability to place the steam boiler in standby mode after a 50-minute inactive period and in energy consumption. The steam boiler can be reactivated by lifting the brew lever at any time. This will allow the steam boiler to reheat to full pressure. Another new feature is a set on/off timer. If the machine is left on by accident, when leaving the house or going on vacation, the machine will completely turn off after 120 minutes of Inactivity. The machine can be turned on/ reactivated by lifting the brew lever or after cycling the main power switch on or off. You can change modes and turn on and off the features through the PID and cycle on and off the main power switch.
SETTING ECONOMY MODE
- Turn off your Vetrano 2B Evo (14).
- Hold both PID (04) buttons in and simultaneously turn the Vetrano 2B Evo on (14) until F.01 appears on the LCD screen.
- Release the right PID button. Now, click the left PID button until NRG appears on the screen.
- Click the right PID button to display the current setting. With the current setting displayed, 60 for example, immediately push the left button to change to no. This will turn off the 60-minute timer for economy mode. If the current setting is reading ‘no’ – immediately push the right button to change it to 60. This will turn on the 60-minute timer for economy mode, sending your steam boiler in a stand-by mode after 60-minutes of inactivity.
SETTING AUTO ON/OFF
-
Turn off your Vetrano 2b Evo (14)
-
Lift the brew/Cam lever (11) and leave it in the up position.
-
Turn on your Vetrano 2B Evo (14)
-
The Blue LED will Flash if you see:
• 2 Flashes, the standby mode is off.
• 3 Flashes, standby mode is on. -
Lower the Brew/Cam Lever (11) and turn the machine off.
PID CONTROLLER (04)
The PID controller’s display (04) will cycle back and forth to show the current temperature of each boiler. The position of the decimal point (2+3) indicates which boiler the temperature is being shown for at that time i.e. 25.5 is displaying the steam boiler temperature (by default) and 200. (by default) is displaying the coffee boiler temperature.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COFFEE BOILER
- Turn on your Vetrano 2B Evo and press both the left and right PID buttons simultaneously until the display reads T1, then releases both the left and right PID buttons.
- Press the right button of the PID to display the current temperature setting of the coffee boiler. While the current temperature (set by default to 200) is being displayed press either the left (down) or right (up) PID buttons to change the temperature of your coffee boiler.
- After a couple of seconds, the display will revert back to T1 and the new temperature has been saved.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE STEAM BOILER
- Turn on your Vetrano 2B Evo and press both the left and right PID buttons simultaneously until the display reads T1, then releases both the left and right PID buttons.
- Press the right button of the PID until T2 is displayed. Press the right (up) PID button, and the current steam boiler temperature (set by default to 255) is displayed. While the current temperature is being displayed press either the left (down) or right (up) PID buttons to change the temperature of your steam boiler.
- After a couple of seconds, the displays will revert back to T2 and your new temperature has been saved.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
E61 EXPLODED VIEW CLICK HERE TO VIEW
If you need to take your E61 group apart to lubricate it or replace a part, here is an excellent exploded view of all of its parts, how it comes apart and how it goes back together.
Regular backflushing is a vital part of any machine’s maintenance schedule. Not only will it prolong the life of your machine, but it will also prevent the buildup of rancid coffee oils that will make your espresso taste bitter and acrid.

E61 GROUP HEAD MAINTENANCE CLICK HERE TO VIEW
In the sixty years since Ernesto Valente had the idea for this groundbreaking design, the E61 group head and its features have become ubiquitous on espresso machines the world over. As tough as it is, it still has a number of moving parts that can wear down over time.
Quick Mill Water Reservoir
Quick Mill’s new reservoir features a bottom feed, no more silicone tubing.
The new reservoir is to help eliminate pinched or misplaced silicone lines.
More importantly by eliminating the silicone tubing the pump will no longer be
used as a siphon. Allowing the pump to now be gravity fed, supplies constant
line pressure to the pump alleviating stress. The water reservoir use’s a
magnetic float/check valve installed in the base of the reservoir that seats
directly into the water manifold magnetic switch. The Water reservoir needs
to be filled and seated properly for the machine’s heating circuit to
function. When unaligned, breaking contact with the float and switch an
audible alarm will sound turning off the heating circuit to protect the boiler
elements from damage.
