I am trying to reprogram the programmable buttons on my Expobar Office Control. It is a 2002 model. I seem to have lost my user manual, so this is what I am trying:

1 - Hold the free flow button (star) until all lights turn on.
2 - Push one of the program buttons, machine starts dispensing.
3 - Push the same button again to stop the flow. The light above the button goes dark.
4 - Hold the free flow button again for 6-8 seconds.

This does not work, the four programmable buttons do not memorize the programming at all. I guess the procedure I am using is not correct, does anyone know how to do this the right way?

WholeLatteLove has "these troubleshooting instructions but they look similar to yours (?).

You don't need to do step 4, after the light goes out on the one you program you shut off the machine and switch it back on.

If it doesn't remember the settings there is something wrong with the dose-counter.
Good luck!
