6.8. Replacing the lid gasket
EXPLANATION
The lid gasket ensures that the vacuum chamber is completely closed off during
the machine cycle. This is essential for the achievement of a maximum vacuum
level. The lid gasket will wear out due to extreme pressure differences and
should be changed regularly
Replace the lid gasket if it is damaged or in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in section 6.1
