Important Safeguards
When using ANY electrical products/devices, basic safety precautions should always be followed, and are the
sole responsibility of the user/owner, including the following:
1. Never leave the Behmor 2020SR Plus unattended when in use . Like all food products coffee beans
can ignite. The user must always ensure that the chaff collection tray and roaster roasting drum are
properly in place when roasting.
2. Do not use the Behmor 2020SR Plus for anything other than its intended use.
3. ADULT supervision is absolutely necessary when the Behmor 2020SR is being operated near children
or in environments where children are present. The Behmor 2020SR is NOT for use by children!
4. Always operate the Behmor 2020SR Plus in a properly ventilated environment with good clearance
around the exhaust outlets
. Make sure no objects or obstructions of any kind can impede, obstruct or
cover the exhaust outlets. Place the Behmor 2020SR Plus at least 18” inches (46cm) from ALL walls or
cabinets and have at least 18” inches (46cm) clearance above and around unit on all sides. This is to
include exhaust cover and vent holes.
5. Do not allow contact with any objects. A fire may occur if the Behmor 2020SR Plus is covered or is
touching flammable material, including curtain, draperies, walls, etc., when in operation.
6. Use only on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
7. Do not use outdoors. The roaster is not intended for outdoor use.
8. NEVER operate the Behmor 2020SR with a damaged cord or plug.
9. The Behmor 2020SR Plus comes equipped with a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other) that
will fit only one way in a polarized outlet.
If the plug does not fit the outlet properly, turn the plug the
other way; if it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
10. Do not immerse cord, plug or the Behmor 2020SR itself in water or other liquids.
11. Do not use with extension cords. As with any electrical product the use of extension cords could
adversely affect roaster functions and dramatically extend roast times. Do not place the Behmor 2020SR
Plus, on or near hot gas and/or electric burners, in a heated oven or in close proximity to easily
flammable material.
12. Do not use high chaff green un-roasted coffee. The use of such items may cause the roaster’s functions
such as the smoke suppression feature, safety features and roast times to be negatively impacted. We
recommend you use only reputable bean suppliers or those on our approved bean supplier list.
13. Never exceed the recommended maximum roast capacity of 1 pound (16 ounces or 454 grams.)
14.
It is the user’s responsibility to be 100% sure all connections are secure and that the lid and latch to the
roasting drum, and door to the roasting chamber have all been closed and secured properly before any
use.
15. Never roast coffee past 10 seconds into 2
nd
crack. Past this point the beans could ignite. If you see heavy
smoke, immediately cool the roast.
16. If you see a bean fire, turn off and unplug the Behmor 2020SR Plus. Do not open the door until it has
cooled down. To avoid risk of electric shock, never put water in it, or on it, to cool it down or stop it.
17. Do not use any attachments, power boosters/ transformers (aka Variacs) and/or similar items or make
any modifications that are not explicitly approved by Behmor Inc. in, on, or to the Behmor 2020SR
Plus.
Using such items or making modifications is strictly prohibited and automatically voids all
warranties and relieves Behmor Inc. of any/all liabilities arising from such misuse and tampering.
18. Use extreme caution when working near the hot surfaces and heating elements. This includes: front
door, top, back, exhaust, exhaust covers and sides of the Behmor 2020SR Plus. Do not touch hot
surfaces without adequate oven mitts or gloves. Use care when removing the chaff tray as it too becomes
very hot.
19. Never open the Behmor 2020SR Plus’ front door when the roasting elements are on.
