Operation
Turn the rocker switch to the ON position prior to starting the roaster. This will start the ex-
haust fan and turn on the light mounted underneath the hood. When the roast is completed,
turn the switch to the OFF position.
Never operate the roaster without the vent hood turned
on; doing so will cause improper venting of the roaster exhaust.
Maintenance
The vent hood should be regularly maintained for the best possible performance. Always
disconnect the appliance from the power source before performing any maintenance.
Clean the inlet screen to remove dust and oils with a wire brush at least weekly. The outside
surface of the screen can be cleaned with a wire brush without removal of the screen. Re-
moval of the screen will be required for more extensive cleaning. Follow the instructions
on the following page for screen removal. Failure to clean the inlet screen will reduce the
air flow potential of the vent hood. See figure 4.
Although the impellor is designed to be self cleaning, it is recommended that the blower
impellor and the interior of the blower housing be cleaned periodically to remove build-up
as needed. See Figure 5.
Build up in the venting system will reduce the air flow potential of the vent hood. Clean the
vent pipe system regularly to avoid build up of dust and oils. See Figure 6
A chimney brush can be purchased from most hardware stores for use in cleaning the vent
system.
Note:
The duration between the vent system and blower housing cleanings is dependent on the
amount of coffee roasted and the roast level. Higher roast levels produce greater levels of oils
that will increase the rate of build-up. Evaluation of the these areas should occur monthly in
order to develop a suitable maintenance schedule. Duration of cleaning should not exceed one
month for the blower housing and impellor and six months for the venting system.
