Re: Hi from a new Antipodean and some woes
Well there is some good news....
Firstly I have not as yet been able to find out my nominal supply, but this IS going to happen.
Secondly I follwee the tips from Genesis care of Altura which pointed me in the direction of a dust filter on the underside of the machine. Basically I got the hoover out and hoovered the Gene. I also disconnected the Oscar from the double socket I use and performed a dry run.
The Gene got up to temp more or less and performed a little under what I experienced in the UK. I roasted up some Malabar and it acheived 245 Deg after 22 mins and the result was a very nice roast. I am still not impressed by Genesis concession that it is very sensitive to voltage though. This is IMHO a major design flaw.
The main thing is that I am now up and running again and can get back to roasting!!!
I really appreciate all your input guys and I have learnt a lot from you all.
