V22 Gen 2000AB 120v 

System Check: 

To ensure all functions are working properly press each button within each group 

in the 

following order:  

 

 

Press all “Weight” buttons starting with 1/4, 1/2, to 1, noting time in the display changes.  

 

Press the “Profiles” buttons starting with P1 through P5, noting changes on the display.  

 

Press each time increment (+ then -), Light, Cool, then OFF. 

 

Start will be tested in the next step. 

 
Preparing the Behmor  roaster  for  first Use:   

Before  the first  time  you  use  your roaster,  please 

remove

 the 

cleaning 

brush  from  the  roasting  drum

,  and  remove  stray  pieces  of  packing  material  from  the  roasting 

chamber, and clean the interior with a moist cloth. 
 

Press: 

                 

 
This  procedure,  also  referred  to  as  a  dry  burn,  is  necessary  to  help  eliminate  any  residue  left  in  the  roaster 
during the manufacturing process while also serving to “season” the roaster and door gasket. During the first 
few  roasts  you  may  see  some  very  faint  smoke  from  the  exhaust  or  gasket  area,  but  this  should  cease  as  the 
system self-cleans, seasons and fine-tunes itself. This same procedure is used for periodic system self-cleaning 
coupled  with  Simple  Green  or  other 

non-caustic,  non-abrasive  cleaner

,  as  described  later  in  “Part  6: 

Maintenance.” 

 
Getting Started: 

Insert ¼ lb. of green coffee beans in the roasting drum, close and make sure the roasting drum 

clasp is securely in place.

 

 
Next,  carefully  place  the  roasting  drum  into  the  roasting  chamber  as  shown  above,  inserting  the  right  end 
(square peg – red arrow in diagram) into the motor drive while laying the left end (round peg with groove – blue 
arrow in diagram) onto the holder. You may find the square peg requires slight rotation of the roasting drum for 
it to slide fully into place. You will know it is place when the left (round) side’s groove drops into the holder’s 
cut away. 

Always double-check to ensure the roasting drum is closed and properly in place.

 

 
Install the chaff tray by gently depressing the spring-loaded handle downward, slide it into the roasting chamber 
until it goes no further, and release the handle. Improper placement can prevent the roasting drum from rotating 
properly, causing a jam. (

See Chaff Tray Instructions above for further details

 
Close the roaster door ensuring it is closed tightly. 
 

Preheat

: We’ve found through testing, a more robust roast can be achieved by doing a 1:30 minute preheat** 

of  the  system.    Press  any  weigh  and  then  Start.  Allow  the  system  to  run  for  up  to  1:30  minutes.  Press  OFF, 
insert roasting drum, tray and start your roast. Remember to use caution while working around hot surfaces.  

Preheat for a maximum 1:30 minutes.  

Longer times can activate a safety feature that will prevent starting the 

roast! 

*Whether new to, or experienced with roasting coffee, start off by roasting at least four ¼ lbs batches on 
P1 to begin developing an understanding of the subtle nuances of roasting coffee with the Behmor, 
including the snapping sounds and aromas associated with a completed roast described in “Section 4: 
Roasting Coffee.” Once comfortable with the roaster, migrate to a few 1/2lb roasts and finally to 1 lb 
roasts if you desire. Always remember to think about where your roast will be in 15 seconds as well use 
our Key Tip (#3) found in “Part 5: Tips.”  

NEVER START with quantities above ¼ lbs. when first getting to know the roaster!!!
