Drying Gels
Step Procedure
7. Press Start to begin the drying
cycle.
8. When the cycle is complete, check
that the gel is dry before breaking
the vacuum seal.
9. Turn off the vacuum pump.
Description
The dryer will turn off automatically when the cycle is
complete.
Check the gel by running your finger over the Sealing
Gasket; a dry gel is warm over its entire area.
Breaking the vacuum seal before turning off the vacu-
um pump prevents liquid in the vacuum line from flow-
ing back into the gel dryer.
Do not continue running the vacuum pump after the
vacuum seal is broken.
