7 Deinstallation DANGER DANGER: contaminated parts Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before beginning to work, find out whether any parts are contami- nated. Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precautions when handling contaminated parts. Caution Caution: vacuum component Dirt and damages impair the function of the vacuum component.
8 Maintenance 8.1 Bakeout The valve is baked in order for its inner parts to be degassed. Undesirable gases can thus be pumped. The pumping time is reduced and the final pressure is reached faster. It is good practice to bake out valves after cleaning (→ 23) and when their inner parts have been exposed to atmosphere for some time, e.g.
