• This appliance has a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other. As a safety feature, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
• To clean the Coffee Roaster follow the included cleaning instructions in this manual. Unplug the
unit and allow it to completely cool before doing any cleaning or disassembly. Do all maintenance
and cleaning chores only when the machine is unplugged and completely cooled off. Refer to
Chapter VIII for more details on “Cleaning and Care”.
• Always leave at least eight inches of space around the Coffee Roaster on all sides for proper
ventilation when operating and until it has cooled. Keep the machine away from flammable materials
such as curtains, towels, walls, furniture, or any other materials Place on a heat-resistant surface
when in use. Do not operate near combustible materials or liquids, nor near any pressurized spray
cans.
• Avoid touching moving parts. Never reach into the machine while it is plugged in.
• Operate the Coffee Roaster only in a clean, dust-free area. Dust and dirt can be drawn into the
Coffee Roaster and can contaminate the coffee being roasted.
• Use the Coffee Roaster only for roasting coffee beans. Never place any other substances, food
or otherwise, in the machine. Use of anything other than green, un-roasted coffee beans in the
Hottop Coffee Roaster may create a hazardous condition and will void your warranty.
• Coffee roasting produces smoke which can be a respiratory irritant. Control the smoke so it does
not enter the structure, and take care if there are children or elderly in the home or if anyone in
the home has respiratory or breathing problems. Avoid breathing the smoke. We recommend that
you use the Coffee Roaster in a place where ample ventilation is available- in the kitchen under
an efficient range hood which vents outside, or near a window with an exhaust fan as examples.
• Always allow the machine to go through the entire roasting and cooling process (except for hitting
the “eject” button to stop a roast early) and let the machine turn itself off after each roasting cycle.
This will help extend the life of the Hottop Coffee Roaster. NEVER unplug the machine during a
roast as it can cause a fire hazard and/or shorten the life of the machine.
• Roasting coffee too dark should be avoided. Just like you can over-cook and burn food on your
stove or in your oven, it is possible to over-roast and burn coffee in the Hottop Coffee Roaster.
Although much care has been put into designing the device to safely perform automatic roasting
and cooling cycles, over-roasting can occur. This is more likely to happen when using less than
the recommended amount of beans (250 grams) and/or on a setting that is too hot and/or too
long.
• Under extreme circumstances, over-roasted beans can catch fire, particularly when the beans are
ejected and become exposed to the atmosphere. Always use the indicated amount of beans (250
grams), and always monitor the progress of the roast to prevent over-roasting.
• Extra care must be taken when roasting decaffeinated coffee. The decaffeination process changes
the indicators used to judge roast level and over-roasting can result.
• Always have a spray bottle filled with water on hand when roasting to quench a fire if the beans
ignite upon ejection. Do not attempt to move the machine if the ejected beans ignite. Call emergency
services, disconnect the machine, and use the water-filled spray bottle or fire extinguisher to
extinguish the flames.
• NOTE: Some models cannot be restarted until the chaff tray is removed, emptied, and
replaced. For all models, empty the chaff tray after every roasted batch. The chaff and coffee
bits in the chaff tray will become very hot during roasting. Chaff can ignite during the roasting
process and may smolder in the chaff tray. Use great care when disposing of the chaff as it can
create a fire hazard particularly if it is dumped onto other flammable material soon after a roast
has concluded.
