Andreja Premium
Introduction
First of all, thank you for your business!
You are going to love your Andreja Premium – it combines beauty, value, and great brewing for
making the best espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes you’ve ever tasted! These instructions include
hints that will help you get started quickly.
First-time Setup
•
Remove the water reservoir and rinse with clean water.
•
Before filling the reservoir with tap water, test your water for hardness using the provided
test strips.
Fill a glass with cold tap water; dip the tip of the test strip into water for one second, then
pull the strip out of the water and hold it horizontally for fifteen seconds. After fifteen
seconds, compare the color of the strip to the chart on the side of the package to determine
how many grains of hardness is in your tap water. Three grains or less of hardness is
acceptable.
Note:
Should your water’s hardness level exceed three grains, contact us to discuss your
options for addressing this problem.
•
Fill the reservoir with water being careful not to overfill.
Before plugging the machine in, verify the steam and hot water valves are closed. The brew
lever should be pointing straight down.
•
Plug the machine in and turn the power switch to the on position.
Your pump will start filling the boiler in approximately three seconds. Only allow the pump
to run for 30 seconds and then turn the machine off for five minutes. Repeat this procedure
of letting the pump run for 30 seconds and then turning the machine off for five minutes. It
may take 4 cycles for the boiler to completely fill itself for the initial start up procedure.
Important:
If your machine’s pump is still running after the fourth 30-second interval, turn
your machine off and call us. There is something wrong and further attempts could cause
serious damage to your machine.
When the pump stops, place either one of your portafilters into the group. Next, lift the brew
lever to start the pump and keep the lever up until water comes out of the portafilter. Your
machine’s heat exchanger is now full.
The machine should now be heating up. Keep the portafilter locked into the group. It will
take approximately 10 minutes for the boiler to pressurize. You may hear some hissing and
gurgling noises as the boiler heats up; this is normal.
