•
Before performing the experiment check for
any damage to the vacuum bell jar.
•
Make sure that the sealing disc as well as
the polished edge of the bell jar are dust-
free.
•
At the start of the experiment, press the
vacuum bell jar against the plate until air
pressure provides sufficient force against
the rubber seal, then let the bell jar go.
•
After performing the experiment ventilate the
chamber with the pump switched off and the
evacuation valve closed.
