Operation Checklist
The following checklist should be followed prior to each use of
your Freeze Dryer:
1. Wipe the interior of the collector chamber with a soft cloth or
paper towel to remove any accumulated moisture.
2. Check the collector chamber drain hose to ensure that the hose
is free of moisture and that the drain plug is securely installed.
3. Using a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel, wipe the collector
chamber lid gasket to remove any dirt and contaminants that
could cause a vacuum leak. Vacuum grease is not required on
the lid gasket to obtain a proper vacuum seal.
