Do not refill the snap-ring-style sieve beds. Special
tooling is required to remove and re-install the spring-
loaded top cap and snap-ring.

Do not expose molecular sieve (contents of bed) to air
for an extended period of time. Pro longed exposure
of molecular sieve to the moisture in room air results
in contamination and permanent damage to the sieve
