TESTING
The correct way to test the roaster is to
start it with no beans. It will heat up for
10 to 20 seconds, reaching about
90 degrees.
Then a message will flash up: "Heat
too fast. Please check beans." At this
point the machine doesn't stop, but it
begins the cool down cycle and runs
for another 10 to 20 seconds until it has
cooled down to about 40 degrees. At
this point it stops.
Running this test is a good way to be
confident that everything is working as
expected.
This test will also generate a log file so it
can be used to check you have set things
up correctly for collecting roast logs.

RESTING THE COFFEE
Coffee changes flavour very rapidly
during the first week after roasting, and
the most rapid changes take place in the
first few days. Waiting before using the
coffee is known as 'resting' the coffee.
The purpose of resting is to let the
flavour improve.
The Kaffelogic core profiles provided on
the Kaffelogic memory stick include Ready
to Drink (RTD) profiles designed to need
no resting, and Rest profiles designed to
need 3 to 5 days resting.
For other profiles the ideal amount of
resting might vary. Try the coffee over a
period of days. As Matt Perger, founder
of Barista Hustle, says: "use it when it
tastes good".
CLEANING
Brush off any loose chaff. Wipe the
outside of the roaster with a damp
non-abrasive cloth and polish with a
dry lint-free cloth or paper towel. Use
a little bit of soap, detergent, or other
non-abrasive cleaner on the damp
cloth if required. Unplug from the wall
when using a damp cloth.
There will be a build-up of coffee oils
in the roast chamber over time. We
recommend that you do not clean the
roast chamber so long as there is no
noticeable effect on the flavour of the
roasted coffee. When you need to clean
the build-up of coffee oils, remove the
chaff collector and wipe inside with a
cloth dampened with a suitable cleaner
such as Puly™ Caff detergent, Cafetto™
Espresso Clean, Simple Green™ or other
non-caustic, non-abrasive cleaner.
Move the cloth around with your finger or
a chopstick.
IMPORTANT:
You need to be particularly
careful not to touch the sensitive tip of
the temperature probe that sticks into
the roast chamber part way down. Do not
clean the tip of the probe.
Do not use detergent inside the roast
chamber or you will end up with
detergent flavoured coffee.
