Under normal operation, the Freeze Dryer requires little
maintenance. The following maintenance schedule is
recommended:
As needed:
1. Clean up all spills; remove liquids from the
chamber.
2. Clean lid and gasket using soft cloth, sponge or
chamois and a mild, non-abrasive soap or detergent.
3. Check oil level of the vacuum pump. It should be
between MIN and MAX. If the oil level is less than
an inch (25.4 mm) above MIN, add oil to proper
level.
4. If oil shows cloudiness, particles or discoloration,
drain the pump and replace with fresh oil.
5. Utilization of acids requires immediate cleaning and
neutralization after a run or physical damage to the
collector chamber and collector coil will result.
6. Check the collection chamber for condensed or
frozen solvents and dispose of appropriately.
Completely empty the collector chamber before the
next run.
