VII - Cleaning and care (all models)

Roasting coffee can be a bit messy. The chaff that comes off the beans, bits and pieces of coffee beans,

and stray beans themselves can get strewn about, in and out of the roaster. To create the best coffee

possible, to ensure safe operation, and to extend the life of your Hottop Coffee Roaster, it is very important

to do some regular maintenance and cleaning.

NOTE: Red numbers in parentheses, (

5

) as an example, refer to the diagram on page 7

WARNING: All cleaning chores should only be done with the machine unplugged and when the

machine has cooled to room temperature. Allow all parts to thoroughly dry before assembling and before

using the machine again!

A. After each roast

(Refer to diagram on page 7)

Pull the chaff tray (

4

) out using the black plastic handle (located under the viewing window on the

front of the machine). Use a soft brush, or kitchen towel to clean the tray. If required, wash the chaff

tray with water and soap. Dry thoroughly before replacing.

IMPORTANT

: Some models are equipped with a safety mechanism that makes

it impossible to restart the machine until the chaff tray is removed, emptied, and

replaced.

2. Some beans create more chaff than others. At times there can be a chaff build up inside the roasting

chamber after just one roast. To clean out this stray chaff, remove the chaff tray (

4

), cooling tray (

3

),

and bean loading cover (

2

). Then carefully tip the Coffee Roaster forward and gently shake it to remove

stray chaff. Carefully using compressed air can assist in removing the stray bits of leftover chaff and

bean particles. Use caution so as not to displace the material contained in the Top Filter (

13

) when using

compressed air.

WARNING

: proper eye protection and breathing protection should be used when

using compressed air to clean out the roasting chamber.

3. To clean the glass viewing window, wait until the machine has completely cooled off and remove the

chaff tray. While holding the front cover (

6

) on the machine with one hand, unscrew the Gold Knob

(

5

), until the front cover to be easily lifted off. Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the glass.

Encrusted oils on the glass can be removed using a stiff brush or wet nylon scouring pad with a small

amount of dish washing soap. Scrub gently to avoid scratching the glass. Rinse thoroughly and allow

to dry before replacing. Tough buildup can be removed with espresso machine cleaner or diluted TSP

(tri-sodium phosphate).

4. Check the inside of the drum (

9

) after each roast. Beans can sometimes get stuck in the drum and if

allowed to go thorough a subsequent roast they will bum. The burnt beans can affect the taste of the

entire roast. Remove the front cover of the machine as described in step 3 above and look inside the

drum. Stuck beans can be dislodged using a long-handled, stiff brush, a length of 1/4” wood dowel,

chopstick, or similar tool. If necessary, remove the drum for cleaning (outlined below).

5. Replace the fi lter (

1

) at the rear of the machine after using 30-40 times.

WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE, IT IS

IMPORTANT THAT THE CHAFF TRAY (4)

UNDERNEATH THE ROASTING DRUM IS

FULLY EMPTIED AFTER EVERY ROAST!
