- Plug in power and check all parts and ensure samples to be tested are in place.
- Place the test pieces on the shelves in the chamber and close the door to guarantee a closed seal.
- Connect the vacuum pump to the drying oven through an air tubing, and turn off the air balance port.
- Start the vacuum pump and open the vacuum valve in sequence. Vacuuming is in process.
- Observe the value on the pressure gauge, and stop it until the pressure value is close to “-1” (shutdown sequence must be vacuum valve first, then vacuum pump switch).
- Press the Power button to turn on the vacuum pump and then set the drying temperature and duration time to enter the drying state.
- Pay attention to the pressure value during drying. Repeat above step 4 to vacuumize it again If the vacuum degree drops in the process.
- After drying time is up with buzzing, turn off the vacuum drying oven.
- Open the air balance port to balance the air pressure inside and outside the chamber.
- Open the oven door to take out the test piece.
Tip: The manual operation sequence of the vacuum pump must follow the above step. It can’t be reversed.
