Part 3: System Preparation, Start-up and Programming Continued
Install the chaff tray by gently depressing the spring loaded handle downward, slide it into the roasting chamber
until it goes no further, and release the handle. Improper placement can prevent the roasting drum from rotating
properly, causing a jam. (
See Chaff Tray Instructions above for further details )
Close the roaster door ensuring it is closed tightly.
Preheat
: We’ve found through testing, a more robust roast can be achieved by doing a 1:30 minute preheat**
of the system. Press any weigh and then Start. Allow the system to run for up to 1:30 minutes. Press OFF,
insert roasting drum, tray and start your roast. Remember to use caution while working around hot surfaces.
Preheat for a maximum 1:30 minutes. Longer times can activate a safety feature that will prevent starting the
roast!
*Whether new to, or experienced with roasting coffee, start off by roasting at least four 100grams batches on P1
to begin developing an understanding of the subtle nuances of roasting coffee with the Behmor, including the
snapping sounds and aromas associated with a completed roast described in “Section 4: Roasting Coffee.” Once
comfortable with the roaster, migrate to a few 200grams roasts and finally to 400grams roasts if you desire.
Always remember to think about where your roast will be in 15 seconds as well use our Key Tip (#3) found in
“Part 5: Tips.”
NEVER START with quantities above 100 grams when first getting to know the roaster!!!
