Translation of the original operating manuel
The media drain valve is located at the bottom of the left side of the unit
(see chapter 2.1.1 - "Functional and operating elements"). It is used to
drain off the condensate and the defrosting water.
•
Connect the drain hose (included in the scope of supply) to the hose
connector.
•
Place a collecting vessel under the unit.
The hose must be laid with a continuous slope and the end of the hose
must always be above the liquid level in the collecting vessel. This prevents
water and dirt residues from being sucked into the ice condenser chamber
if there is negative pressure when the media drain valve is opened.
Please refer to the separate operating manual of the vacuum sensor!
In order to protect the vacuum sensor against transport damage, it comes
supplied in its original packaging. Prior to commissioning the freeze-dryer,
the sensor must be installed.

•
Plug the connector to the connection socket and hand-tighten the
screws on the connector.
