Part 6: Maintenance
1. After every five roasts* we recommend you do a system dry burn and interior cleaning. Insert the
empty roasting drum and chaff tray, close the front door, press “1/4” then press “Start”. Let the system
complete an entire roast and cool cycle. Then clean the interior with Simple Green or another non-
caustic, non-abrasive cleaner (
Never use Easy Off, Bon Ami, Ajax, or Comet or similar abrasive
cleaners) after the roaster has cooled. This is done to ensure there is no sediment build-up blocking a
sensor. To clean your roaster, first make sure it is unplugged! Then lightly spray the metal sides only
(always avoid spraying the roasting elements whether hot or cold), allow to sit a minute, then wipe
down.
*Darker roasts require more frequent cleanings and dry burns.
2. It is highly recommended you keep the area in the back lower right corner of the roasting chamber (Fig.
A, red box) clean of all oils and coffee roasting sediment. This ensures the thermocouple properly reads
the roaster temperatures and keeps roasts times normal.

3. We also recommend that you clean your DC fan’s impellors/ electronics chamber every four months or
sooner. In some locations, such as areas of high dust, or other airborne particulates, the impellor blades
of the fan/ PCBs will get coated with buildup. This can cause the system’s roast times to become
extended as adequate and proper air circulation is restricted or cause component failures.
a. Begin this procedure by removing the six screws holding the right outside panel in place,
using a Philips head screwdriver.
b. Once the panel is removed, a few strong gusts of air on the impellors should remove the
buildup. We then suggest you plug in the roaster and press cool. Clean all areas covered
with dust to include PCBs.
to ensure the fan is rotating properly. If not, contact tech support.
c. While performing the above also we recommend removing the exhaust channel cover
(see Fig. D) and cleaning any lint, dust, or stray chaff from the back of the cover and
exhaust channels. This maintenance will ensure air is allowed to flow freely and not clog
exhaust holes.
