The temperature sensor is delicate and should be handled with care. Clean only the ceramic end of the sensor;
do not bend the wires. It is also important not to move the sensor from its location. Clean the temperature sen-
sor with a
dry
3M pad folded in half over the white portion of the sensor. Rub the sensor back and forth as if
you were sanding a pencil; only apply enough pressure to remove the chaff and oils. The sensor will tend to
turn almost black after a day of roasting; clean the sensor as close to white as possible. (Discoloration to a light
brown or beige is normal. The sensor should be cleaned to that color.)
DO NOT ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR TO
GET WET DURING CLEANING. DOING SO MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE.

The two most important items to properly maintain are the screen and the temperature sensor.
