When the process is complete
the freeze dryer will instruct you to
"Open drain valve to vent" (Before
doing so, pull the drain hose out of
the bucket and/or check to ensure
bucket is completely empty of any
water. Opening the drain valve vents
the vacuum pressure. A hissing sound
of air filling the vacuum chamber
will be heard and then the door may
be opened, the black insulator door
pad removed, and the trays of food
removed.) and "If product is dry,
remove, and select Defrost". Check
the material thoroughly to make sure
it is dry. If you find that there is still
moisture in the material you are freeze
drying, simply press "More Dry Time"
and allow the freeze dryer to finish
drying. Otherwise, you can remove the
trays, ensure drain hose is properly
placed for draining, and press "Defrost".

Immediately package your freeze
dried material properly so that it
doesn't rehydrate with the natural
humidity in the air. When packaging
food, you can use cans, Mylar
bags, and bottles. Always use an
appropriate oxygen absorber.

Make sure all of the ice and
water are removed from the vacuum
chamber before starting a new batch.
