REFRIGERATOR
The following is the factory recommended procedure for the initial set-up of the ASTRA
machine.
1
. Install the hoppers for the regular and decaffeinated beans. The hopper for the
regular beans is the larger hopper and must be installed closest to the front of the
machine.
2
. Fill each hopper with the respective whole espresso beans. Never put ground coffee
into the hoppers. Use of ground coffee will damage the grinder.
3
. Ensure that the gates on the bottom of the hoppers are open. The gates can be
opened by pulling out the lever at the bottom of the hoppers (See Figure 1).
