II - EMERGENCY MANUAL BEAN EJECT SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: The Emergency Eject mechanism is de-

signed to be used in

emergency situations only as de-

scribed below. In normal operation the user should press

the “EJECT” button on the control panel to get the

beans out of the roasting drum and into the cooling tray.

In certain emergency situations it may become necessary to manu-

ally eject the coffee beans from the roasting chamber. Such situations

may include:

• The electricity supply to the roaster is interrupted due to a power cord

being accidentally unplugged, a blackout, a tripped circuit breaker, or

similar failure.

• An electronic failure in the Hottop Coffee Roaster

• A failure of the ejection mechanism to operate normally

• Stoppage of the rotation of the roasting drum.

While failures such as these are rare, for your safety and the safety

of the Hottop Coffee Roaster, we have designed a manual Emergency Eject mechanism. Indicated by the

red circle in this photo, on the back of the roaster, under the Main Fan, there is a silver-colored knob. If

the user pulls this knob outwards, the Eject Door inside the machine will be forced to open and the beans

will be ejected from the roaster.

OPERATION OF THE EMERGENCY EJECT MECHANISM

If the machine is otherwise operating normally other than the ejection

not taking place when the roast ends or the Eject button is pressed, simply

pull the Emergency Eject Knob and hold it out until all the beans leave the

Roasting Chamber and drop into the Cooling Tray.

In the rare event of a total failure, interruption of the electrical supply,

or stoppage of the drum’s rotation, the user will have to ﬁrst pull the Emer

gency Eject knob, and while holding the knob out, tilt the roaster in order

to get the beans to leave the roasting chamber. The safest place to hold the

roaster in such an instance is to grab the base in front of the cooling tray

and alternately lift and then lower the front of the machine.

1) Grasp the Emergency

Eject Knob

2) Pull Out to Eject Beans

WARNING: The outer surface of the roaster may be

very hot. Oven mitts or heavy, heat-resistant gloves

must be worn to protect the user when lifting or moving

a hot roaster in such emergency situations. This is the

only time a Hottop Coffee Roaster should be handled or

moved in this way.

WARNING: Beans may be very hot when ejected from

the roasting chamber.
