Maintenance 54
Figure 21: Replacing the Silicone Rubber of the Silicone Holders
1. Pull the old silicone rubber from the holder, see Figure 21: Replacing the Silicone Rubber of
the Silicone Holders on page 54.
2. Cut a new piece of silicone rubber. Make sure it is the same length as the holder.
If the rubber is too short or too long, this may cause problems with the seal of the
bag.
3. Install the new piece of silicone rubber by pressing it into the recess of the silicone holder.
Ensure that the silicone rubber is fully and uniformly placed in the recess. It is also important
that the surface of the silicone rubber is smooth after it is in place, and that it shows no signs
of stress.
7.8 Replacing the Lid Gasket
The lid gasket ensures the vacuum chamber is fully closed during the machine cycle. This is
essential to reach the maximum vacuum level. Due to extreme pressure differences, the gasket
wears and should therefore be replaced regularly.
Replace the lid gasket if damaged or as specified in Maintenance Schedule on page 48.
