6) In order to prevent possible issues with over roasting, we have built in maximum roast times
associated with each profile.
If you should happen to be roasting at P1, the system is designed to
prevent you from allotting more than 20:30 minutes roast time. This is a safety feature. The same
feature is true for the other profiles but with longer times. See Chart below:
1/4 1/2 1
P1 10 13:30 20:30
P2 10:30 14:30 22:30
P3 11 15:30 23:30
P4 11:30 16:30 24:30
P5 12:30 17:30 25:30
* When using P1 or P2, in certain instances, Program times C and/or D, may appear not to
function. This was designed to occur. In those instances C and/or D’s pre-programmed start times
exceed the maximum allowed roast time for that profile.
7) For quicker cool down
an option does exist, should the user decide take the following measure.
After the beans have ceased snapping (approximately 1:30), while keeping the system on cool,
simply open the front door. Doing this will facilitate a greater airflow over the beans. The one
drawback is small amount of chaff will find it’s way past the chaff tray.
NEVER STOP THE SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETING A ROAST TO REMOVE
THE CYLINDER AND COOL THE BEANS. DOING A SYSTEM STOP BEFORE REASONABLE
COOLING COULD DAMAGE THE SYSTEM’S INTERNAL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
8) Adjusting profiles by time additions and subtractions
at proper times can be used to slightly alter
the pre-programmed profiles. You can shorten or lengthen the middle leg of a profile or end leg of
a profile in terms of percentage to total time. The adjustments can be made by prior to or just after
starting the roast cycle.
Example: P5 is 33% of each power application throughout the entire roast. Thus if you were to set
the timer at 6:00 minutes each leg of the profile would last approximately 2:00 each.
However if you were to set the timer for 6:00 minutes to begin with, then upon starting a roast add
2:00 minutes you will have immediately reduced the middle leg’s total percent of total roast to
25% versus the original 33%.
Conversely let us say you want to lengthen the middle leg and shorten the end leg of the roast.
Before starting press the timer to read 10:00. The system then reads it is to run approximately 3:20
per leg. Once starting however reduce the time to 8 and you will have the first legs of the roast at
3:20 each but the final leg at 1:20.
If you wish to shorten the roasts middle leg percentage to total and lengthen the end leg, reduce
times to start, then once started add time back.
If you wish to lengthen the roasts middle leg percentage to total and reduce the end leg, add time
to start, then once started reduce the time back.
The possible variations number in the hundreds once you understand the roaster and the beans you
are roasting.
*** DO NOT overuse this option by pressing the – (minus sign) 24 times before start then
pressing + (plus sign) 20 times after start. You will shorten the life of the switches. This is
intended for MINOR adjustments.
