Monthly:
1. The rubber components on the Freeze Dryer may
eventually deteriorate and require replacement. The
effective life of rubber parts depends upon both
their usage and the surrounding environment.
Check all rubber hoses and gaskets and replace any
that show signs of hardening, permanent set or
deterioration.
2. Using a soft cloth, sponge or chamois and a mild,
non-abrasive soap or detergent, clean the acrylic
chamber lid.
3. Using a soft cloth, sponge, or chamois and a mild,
non-abrasive soap or detergent, clean the exterior
surfaces of the unit. Liquid spray cleaners and
polishes may be used on the exterior surfaces. Do
not use solvents to remove stains from the exterior
surfaces as they may damage the finish.
Annually:
1. Every 12 months, or more often if the Freeze Dryer
is operated in a dusty environment, the refrigeration
system collector should be cleaned. Using a
vacuum cleaner with brush attachment, clean the
condenser to ensure proper airflow for peak
performance.
