This condition is normal. The roaster
automatically shifts to a 5-minute cool-down
period at the end of each roasting cycle.
•

not dark enough after going
through the maximum 30-
minute roasting cycle.
Roasting time is too short. Add extra minutes
to roast time after roasting cycle has started
and before the cooling cycle has started.
Each press of the ‘UP’ arrow adds 1 minute
to the roast cycle. Up to 5 extra minutes can
be added.
For darker roasts use less than the
recommended 5 oz. load of beans for each
cycle.

Excessive amount of chaff
escaping near top of roaster.
Screen/Front Seal is not installed correctly,
damaged or missing. Replace or install seal
correctly onto top of Roasting Chamber.
Make sure Screen is inserted into groove of
Front Seal.
•
Auger turns but beans are
not circulating.
Roasting Chamber is very dirty and needs
to be cleaned. See ‘Caring for your Roaster’
section. The oily residue on the glass prevents
the beans from circulating when the auger
is turning.
Roasting chamber may be wet on the inside.
The water droplets create a drag on the beans
preventing them from circulating. Dry the
Roasting Chamber thoroughly before adding
green coffee beans.
