** Safety **
 +
 
 +
* Never run a roast unattended!
 +
* Do not roast anything other than green coffee beans. Roasting beans that already have been roasted is a fire hazard.
 +
* Consider a minimum and maximum load as 1 - 3.5 lbs green beans.
 +
* Make sure the chaff collector has adequate space. Empty it regularly.
 +
* Do not operate without the water connected, the valve on, and the hose not kinked.
 +
* 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, and the beans cooled to 370 F (minimum) before they can be dumped into the cooling hopper, provided air is being circulated through it.
 +
* 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.
 +
* Should temperature rise in the chamber uncontrollably, the system will automatically engage the water sprayer. Disable, when any fire is put out, with the Reset button.
 +
* No roast should take more than 15 minutes. A timer will halt a roast after 15 minutes.
 +
* The roast can safely be stopped once bean temperature reaches 370 F and the yellow Reset light will illuminates. 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.
