All ASTRA Super Automatic machines allow the user to alter the factory set programming,
allowing the user to self select the perfect espresso drink. The machines are pre-set by
the factory to create a 2-ounce espresso drink and a 8-ounce small or 12-ounce large
cappuccino/latte drink. The user may change these settings as follows:
To enter the programming mode, open the door and pull out the white switch. Next, press
and hold the small, black programming switch located next to the main power switch for
5 seconds. Once pressed, the LCD will display “PASSWORD” - enter “1111” by pressing
button Number 1/Small Espresso on the push pad four times until the display takes you to
the main menu.
The ASTRA machine allows the user to alter five categories of programming as set forth
in Table 1 below. Once the desired section is reached, press the “Enter” button to get into
the submenu (see additional directions below). Changes to the submenu can be made by
pressing the “Left” or “Right” buttons. To record a desired programming change, press the
“Enter” button. If at any time you wish to reset without recording any changes or return to
the previous menu, press the “Stop/Reset” button.
PROGRAMMING
Each ASTRA machine allows its user to alter the programming of each key on the touch pad to
provide the desired drink.
