ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MACHINE
STAYS CLEAR AND DOES NOT BLOCK UP
WITH CHAFF OR DIRT.

THE MACHINE HEATS UP DURING THE
ROASTING PROCESS AND SOME
SURFACES CAN GET VERY HOT. TAKE CARE AS
THESE SURFACES MAY CAUSE INJURY.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY PARTS OF THE LID AND DO NOT
TOUCH THE VENT.
DO NOT TOUCH THE OUTER SURFACES OF THE
ROASTING CHAMBER 25mm FROM THE TOP OF THE
MACHINE.

② The IKAWApp will automatically connect to the machine.
Once this has happened program the machine with a roast
profile. Instructions on how to use the IKAWApp are provided
separately as the app design can change over the life of the
machine. Instructions for the latest app are available at
www.ikawacoffee.com

① Fill the doser at the top of the machine with
green coffee beans.
Fill the doser completely up to the top with
approximately 50-60 grams of coffee.
You can use a small jar or flexible coffee sample
tray to pour the coffee into the doser.
② Make sure that the status light is still green and the top
button is illuminated by white light.
If this is not the case the doser may not be shut properly.
Please see previous pages.
③ Start the roasting process by pushing the top button of the
machine.
The machine will begin pre-heating to the starting
temperature.

WARNING
BEFORE CONTINUING, ENSURE THAT
THE MACHINE IS NOT IN OPERATION
AND THAT THE DOSER IS CLOSED (SEE PREVIOUS
PAGE) MAKE SURE THE ROASTING CHAMBER IS
CLOSED AND THE JAR WITH IT’S LID IS IN POSITION

4 ROASTING: PRE-HEATING
The IKAWAapp will show that the machine is pre-heating by
displaying the temperature in the machine.
If you want to cancel the pre-heat mode, press the top button
on the machine. The machine will start to cool-down. (see
following pages)
Once the machine has heated to the starting temperature
wait until the status light on the machine blinks red.
If the roaster temperature does not reach and stabilise at the
profile starting temperature, or the user does not press the
top button after two minutes the roaster will automatically
swtich into cool down mode.
If the roaster is cold and/or profile starting temperature is
high and/or the profile starting fan speed is high the roaster
may not reach and stabilise at the starting temperature in
two minutes. If this happens try pre-heating the roaster again
after the cool down mode has finished.

① Turn the doser halfway so that all the beans fall through
the hole of the doser into the Roasting Chamber.
The fan will slow down while the doser is open
and the status light will blink red and green.
② Turn the doser back so that it closes off the Roasting
Chamber completely.
The fan will speed up again and the status light on the
machine should stop blinking and be steadily red (If this is not
the case the doser is most probably not shut properly)
The roaster will now start the roasting process.
WARNING:
THE MACHINE LID COULD BE VERY HOT
DO NOT TOUCH ANY PARTS OR
SURFACES OTHER THAN
THE CORK GRIP ON THE DOSER
During the roasting process an app connected to the
machine will plot the measured temperature. Even if the
app is not connected, the roaster will execute the profile
stored in it’s memory.
If the roaster has been programmed with a profile that is
not suitable for the coffee, the beans can either burn or in
extreme cases catch fire.
We advise the following procedures during the roast
process.
4 ROASTING: ROASTING

① When the roast starts ensure that the
beans are rotating freely.
② If the beans are not rotating freely
stop the roast by pressing the upper
button.
③ If the roaster starts to produce
excessive smoke press the upper button.
④ If the coffee beans in the roast
chamber catch fire. Switch the roaster
off at the power inlet or wall socket and
then wait until the fire has gone out. The
fire will be contained wihin the roaster.

6 TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem:
The light on the roaster shines a purple colour and the
roaster does not work.
Cause:
The roaster in an error state that could be triggered by a
number of problems.
The most likely causes are:
1. The tip of temperature sensor has been boken off.
2. The ambient air temperature is less than ten degrees C.
Solution:
1. Contact support@ikawacoffee.com, quoting your roaster
serial number.
2 Try using the roaster in a warmer place.
Problem:
The roaster starts to cool during a roast and will no longer
heat regardless of the profile it is programmed with.
Cause:
A thermally activated switch prevents the case heating to an
unsafe temperature. This switch should not activate under
normal roasting conditions but may activate if the roaster
was programmed with an extreme roast or in high ambient
temperatures.
If the thermal safety switch is activated the heating element
will switch off and the roaster will cool down, although it will
otherwise appear to operate as normal.
Solution:
Allow the roaster to cool for at least 30 min. Switch it on and
see if it works again. If the the roaster does not work contact
IKAWA.
15
Problem:
I cannot get my beans out of the roasting chamber.
Cause:
This may happen because your beans have not roasted
sufficiently. They may be too heavy to be transferred from the
Roasting Chamber into the jar.
Solution:
1. Turn off your machine and disconnect the power supply.
2. Ensure your machine is cooled down by letting it stand for
at least 30 minutes.
3. Then take out the doser and jar.
4. Remove the glass lid by pulling upwards on each side (the
lid is attached magnetically).
5. You can remove the beans by tilting the machine on it’s
side to pour them out.
Problem:
The beans inside the roaster do not rotate.
Cause 1:
1. The air inlet at the bottom of the roaster may be blocked
with chaff or other debris.
Solution:
Allow the roaster to cool for at least 30 min. Turn the roaster
over and inspect the air inlet on the bottom of the machine. If
the air inlet is blocked with chaff or other debris unblock by
removing the debris.
Cause 2:
The roaster may be programmed with a roast profile with
inadequate air flow.
Solution:
Program the roaster with a higher air flow using the
IAKWApp.

7 MAINTENANCE 8 REPAIR & DISPOSAL
Periodically check the air inlet at the bottom and remove
any debris that may have accumulated.
The jar can be washed with warm, soapy water but only
when the cork grip is removed. The cork should not get wet.
The jar cannot go in the dishwasher or microwave.
To clean the glass lid, first remove the doser. Second,
remove the glass lid by pulling upwards on each side (the lid
is attached magnetically). You can wash the glass lid
including the metal vent with warm, soapy water. The lid
cannot go in the dishwasher or microwave.
We do not recommend cleaning the inside the Roasting
Chamber or cyclone as this risks breaking the temperature
sensor tip and or water entering the roaster.
If your system is not working correctly, refer to Chapter 6
(Troubleshooting).
If your IKAWA system is no longer working and not under
warranty, we recommend replacing your machine with a
new IKAWA Roaster.
DISPOSAL:
Waste and electrical products should not be disposed of
with household waste. Please contact our technical team for
recycling/disposal advice as regional variations apply
WARNING:
ENSURE THAT NO LIQUID PENETRATES
THE HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE
ROASTING CHAMBER.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
MAINTENANCE ENSURE THAT THE
MACHINE UNPLUGGED FROM ANY
POWER SOURCE, AND THAT THE
MACHINE IS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
WARNING:
DO NOT REPAIR THE IKAWA SYSTEM
YOURSELF. BY DOING SO YOU
INVALIDATE ANY WARRANTY, AND
RISK GETTING INJURED.
