Safety information

General

Read all instructions carefully before using the appliance.
The roaster is only intended for commercial use.
Incorrect operations and improper use can damage the appliance and cause injury to the user.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

Warning! These surfaces get hot during use:
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or roaster in water or other liquids.
Always turn off the power button and unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the roaster to cool before turning off.
Using attachments or software not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries, fire, or electric shock.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, switch the power off before removing the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use appliances for other than intended use.
The roaster operates at high temperatures and must be kept away from flammable materials, including chemicals, fabrics, and paper.
The roaster must be placed on a heat-resistant, slip-proof surface that will not allow the roaster to slide.
Allow 20 cm of space around all sides of the roaster and 40 cm of space above it.
Never use the ROEST from within an enclosed space such as a cabinet.
Never leave the ROEST unattended during pre-heating and roasting. When cooling down, do not leave the roaster unattended until 2 minutes after the cooling process has started.
There is a risk of the coffee beans catching fire during roasting. Parts of the roaster also become hot enough to cause burns. The roaster should only be operated by competent persons.
The fumes from roasting may be harmful. Please ensure adequate venting of smoke. Read all about ventilation here.
The instructions for cleaning the appliance must be followed.
The appliance must not be operated using an external timer or separate remote-control system.
This appliance can be used by children aged eight years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved:
1. Children shall not play with the appliance.
2. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children unless they are older than eight and supervised.
3. Keep the appliance and cord out of reach of children under eight.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special power cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
If the ventilation sucks in coffee beans or any small object, they will be ejected (shot out) at high speed from the exit ventilation hole. Primarily this can happen through the cooling tray.

Therefore, the ventilation exit hole must always be pointed away from people or any fragile objects, and a person must never look inside the ventilation exit hole when the roaster is on. The roaster should not be used without either a ventilation hose attached or the ROEST 90 degree elbow accessory (available separately).
This appliance is intended to be used in cupping labs, coffee shops, roasteries, households, and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments; farmhouses; bed and breakfast type environments.
Keep a copy of these instructions available to all users of the machine.

Alterations, servicing, and accessories

Do not modify the roaster without permission from the manufacturer.
Any accessories not recommended by the manufacturer must not change the operation of the coffee roaster or interfere with regular operation.
If disassembling is necessary, allow the machine to cool completely before service is carried out. Always disconnect the power plug from the mains supply before disassembling the roaster.
Do not operate the roaster if not fully assembled.
Do not operate the coffee roaster if it is damaged or you suspect a malfunction.
Do not attempt to service the roaster yourself unless instructed by us. Using accessory attachments other than those supplied or recommended by the manufacturer may cause hazards and void your warranty.

Electrical

To avoid electric shock, do not operate the roaster in a wet environment or near water. Any cleaning should be done with a moist or dry cloth and only be performed when the roaster is cooled down, and the power cord is disconnected. Some parts may be removed for additional cleaning. If such parts are cleaned with water, ensure they are fully dry before reinstalling.
The power cord and USB cable must be arranged in such a way that they will not be tripped over or able to pull the roaster off the table. Keep the cords away from the front part of the roaster, which may get very hot and can melt the wire.
The roaster needs a dedicated electrical circuit with ground (earth). Do NOT plug other appliances into this circuit.
If an extension cord is needed, ensure it meets the minimum power rating requirements and is fully grounded (earthed). Do not connect any other appliances to the extension cord.

Mechanical

Never touch moving parts; do not place hands or fingers inside the drum or any part of the roaster while the roaster is connected to power. This includes the trier hole, hopper, behind the drop handle, and around the area where beans exit the roaster.

Caution! Do not touch moving parts
Never touch the rear ventilation or place hands or fingers inside the ventilation exit at the back. The ventilation area gets hot and the fan has metal impellers that can create injuries.

Warning! Hot surface, risk of injury from fan blades
The coffee roaster is heavy, and care should be taken when moving the roaster. Only move the roaster when it is completely cooled down. Do not lift the coffee roaster by the handles, chaff drawer, or other detachable parts.

Roasting

When coffee beans are dropped from the machine into the cooling tray, they are extremely hot and should not be touched until cooled completely.
The operating environment should be clean and free from dust and grit.
ROEST is only for roasting coffee beans. Roasting other food/items will void the warranty.
After roasting has finished, the roaster will return to “roasting standby mode” and be ready to roast another batch.
When roasting is done, please leave the roaster to cool down before switching off. Follow the instructions here.
Do NOT disconnect the power until properly cooled down, or you can risk damage.
The chaff drawer should be emptied after each roast session or every 2 kg of coffee roasted. Read the instructions here.
After about 500-1000 roasts, the roaster must be deep cleaned.
The roaster is designed for automated profile roasting. It has a very powerful heating element and it is not necessary to use maximum power when roasting in manual mode. If the Air Temperature measurement reaches 320 degrees Celsius, the electrical element will be turned off as a safety measure.
