@mohdrafeea.2zyZ further to Bruce’s link to the manual, you might find this page from Sweet Maria’s useful as it has a bunch of links. The in-depth cleaning pdf link is what helped me understand where to start when doing a deep clean.

I googled it and got the following YouTube link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4H-jDGJfPI

If you have a different link, I would appreciate sharing it with me.

Noted for the ventilated area, will be careful on this part

Honesty, I did not expect such seasoning step is important,

Super important. It’s similar to the necessary step of seasoning a cast iron or carbon steel pan. And you don’t ever want to clean the inside of the drum, just vacuumed the inside if needed.

As others have suggested you have to go dark to SC (second crack), preferably a little past it. You can just use cheap throw away beans, I think there are some green bean sellers who sells “seasoning beans”. I was probably a bit more extreme as I did 5 or 6 seasoning roasts using 1lb of beans each time.

I used the seasoning roast sessions to learn how to operate the roaster’s front panel and the software to manually roast (as opposed to using any recipes).

Thank you @blacklabs for all the support and information you provided me with all roasters members here. L

et’s do this, I am excited to conduct seasoning the drum instructions. Will post my result later on.
