Manual roasting
Manual roasting is available for Power Profiles and Air Temperature (ET) profiles. We recommend using Power Profiles for manual mode.

Important information
• If the air temperature is adjusted while roasting with a Power profile, the profile will turn into a manual ET profile.
• You can use automatic First Crack detection while roasting in manual mode. Even when roasting manually, it will register the First Crack and start the automatic countdown. If you want to perform a fully manual operation, turn First Crack detection off.

PREHEATING
1. Select a power profile, close the drum and wait for the roaster to have reached the waiting temperature.
2. If you want ROEST to automatically register the First Crack, turn on First Crack Detection.
3. You can adjust the waiting temperature if you wish:

ROASTING
Once the machine has reached the WAITING TEMPERATURE, you are ready to start roasting.
1. Add green beans to the hopper and pull the charge handle.
2. By adjusting the power, you will switch to the Manual PWR profile - tap on POWER and use the rotary knob to change the value.
You are currently in Manual Mode. Read about all parameters available to adjust in the article “Roasting parameters”.
When the First Crack Detection is on, ROEST automatically registers the FC - even when roasting in manual mode.
3. End the roasting process your preferred way. See the three ways how to end a roast here.
4. Collect the beans or add another round of beans and start roasting while the previous batch is cooling down.

2. If you want ROEST to automatically register the First Crack, turn on First Crack Detection.
ROASTING
Once the machine reaches the targeted temperature, you are ready to roast.
1. Add green beans to the hopper and pull the charge handle. (Make sure all the beans enter the roasting chamber).
2. By adjusting the Air Temperature (ET), you will switch to the Manual ET profile - tap on AIR TEMP and use the rotary knob to change the value.
