* Beans above 300 F, without cooling air flow or not in motion in the roaster, can catch fire. Stopping the roast is bad. A power outage during a roast is bad. The roast should be allowed to complete.

* Beans above 300 F, without cooling air flow or not in motion in the roaster, can catch fire. Stopping the roast is therefore bad. A power outage during a roast is also bad. The roast should be allowed to complete.
* The roast can safely be stopped once bean temperature reaches the target, the cooling cycle engages, and the beans drop to 370 F. When this happens, the yellow Reset light will illuminate. Beans can be allowed to cool in the chamber, or the roast stopped with the Stop button and the beans immediately dumped into the cooling hopper. Fans on the tabletop in front of the roaster will blow cooling air over the roast beans.

Beans can be allowed to cool in the chamber, or the roast stopped with the Stop button and the beans then immediately dumped into the cooling hopper by presding the lever open. Fans on the tabletop in front of the roaster will blow cooling air over the roast beans. Beans will cool in the hopper via cooling fans within about 3-5 minutes after roast.
* A manual valve is located on the left side of the machine, which will trigger a water sprayer to flood the chamber. Use this in case of a bean fire in the chamber.

* No roast should take more than 15 minutes. A timer will halt a roast after 15 minutes. Larger quantities of beans roasted darker may need higher air temperature to ensure the target is reached before 15 minutes.

* Do not use the roaster for high volume commercial production. This is expensive and on loan. Let’s not PS1 it, okay?
