FR8 Fan Speed adjustment.

I found the instructions and they look fairly simple but I just wanted to make sure that i need to INCREASE the fan speed to slow the roast down. Another question: Could I possibly increase the speed too much and end up having stalled roasts or should I just crank it as much as possible?

If I remember correctly, I slowed it down about 3 minutes... maybe it was just 2... If you don't like the change, you can always restore. Make a pencil mark on the wiring where the clamp currently sits. Also be sure to make alignments marks on the two parts before you separate the body sections. This makes it very easy to reassemble.
