Both Element Running but Roasts Take too Long
Problem
Cause(s)
Solution
Both elements
running but roasts
taking too long.
1.
Ambient air
temperature too low.
2.
Low line voltage.
1.
Roast smaller loads until you identify
maximum load size where machine can
reach optimum roast air temperature.
2.
Install a buck boost transformer.
Note: Roasting in cold environments below 50°
Fahrenheit will increase roast times. We suggest
roasting in an enclosed, heated environment in
cold weather.
The roaster does not perform well below 215 line
voltage. If you confirm that both heat elements
are running but have trouble achieving your
desired roast air temperature with full loads,
have a qualified electrician check your line
voltage under load.
