Before you start: check the contents of the box
After receiving your ROEST, please inspect the packaging for any damage. If you are in doubt, please document the damage and contact support before using the roaster.
These are the items you will find in the package upon arrival:
In the box
Sample roaster
Hopper
Trier
Cooling tray
Sample tray
Ventilation hose 1.5 m
Inside the machine
Chaff drawer
Airtight foam
Inside the chaff drawer:
Power cord
Wi-Fi antenna

2 x hex keys
4 x spare top plate bolts
Spare proximity sensor
Spare heating element
2. Install filter and cooling tray
Bean cooler filter
You can find the bean cooler filter in the bag inside the chaff drawer.
Insert the cooling filter as shown above before installing the cooling tray.
Cooling tray
The cooling tray is either embedded in the top foam of the box or in a slot inside the pelicase.
Place the cooling tray above the filter.
IMPORTANT: The cooling filter is necessary to catch beans/chaff from entering the cooling fan exit.
3. Insert hopper and trier
The hopper and trier are shipped in a foam block inside the cooling tray.

Hopper
Trier

Insert the hopper (1) and trier (2) as shown above.
Using the trier
The trier can be used at any time during the roasting process. However, removing it from the drum lets cold air enter the drum. This will not immediately affect the roasting process, but will affect the Air Temperature reading.
Therefore we recommend using the trier as quickly and little as possible when roasting with an Air Temperature profile, as the roaster will respond to the change in temperature reading.
In manual mode, or when roasting on Inlet Temperature profiles, the roast will not be affected by the drop in the Air Temperature reading. However, we still recommend being quick when using the trier, to avoid letting too much cold air into the drum.
4. Attach ventilation
Attach the ventilation hose using the clamp provided. The hose should ideally directed outside (for example through a window). Read more about ventilation options, installation, and safety precautions here.
Read more about using the chaff drawer correctly here.
6. Lift the drop handle
Make sure the bean drop handle is in its upward position (open) before turning the roaster ON.
 |
Open |
The drop handle opens the drum door. When the drum is open, the heating element is disabled.
The antenna and the power cord are stored in the chaff drawer upon receiving the sample roaster.
 |
Attach the Wi-Fi antenna (1) and plug the power cord (2) into the roaster |
Your ROEST is now ready to roast.
