Roasting
Before roasting your first batch of coffee it’s important to orient yourself with proper safety procedures. Treat
your roaster the same as you would a cook top range. During the roast your roast hopper gets as hot as any pot
on your stove. The air that roasts your coffee reaches temperatures over 500° degrees F.
Roast Coffee in 7 easy steps:
1.
Check the Chaff bag
2.
Turn on Exhaust Blower
3.
Load Beans into the hopper through the hood with the bean loader
4.
Turn on System Power Switch
5.
Set Bean Loft
6.
Turn on heating element
Check Chaff Bag
Ensure chaff bag is secured in place and less than 50% full before roasting.
Turn on Exhaust Blower
Never run your roaster without the chaff/exhaust
blower running. The blower keeps the machine
cool and prevents chaff, smoke and heat from
venting into your roast area.
The on/off switch is located on the front or side of
the blower motor. This directs all the suction
through the hood, so chaff does not escape.
Your Artisan X-e Base Model Roaster does not require preheating.
