Hi,
I'm getting ready to sell my Quick Mill Silvano and wanted to drain it for shipping. Any tips on how to do this? Thanks!

See Draining Espresso Machine Before Transport. If it won't be exposed to freezing temperatures, there's not much to do since it has a brew boiler and steam thermoblock. While I've never tried it, some have recommended running a mixture of "antifreeze" made from water and cheap vodka through the system if shipping to really, really cold climates.
