What are some cleaning tips for the freeze dryer?

To clean your freeze dryer, we recommend using mild detergent and warm water. Here are some general cleaning tips:

  1. Chamber and Shelves: Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe down the interior of the freeze dryer chamber and the shelves. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as they can scratch the surfaces.
  2. Door Gasket: Clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any debris or residue. Ensure it is free from damage to maintain a proper seal.
  3. Vacuum Pump: If you have an oil pump, check the oil level and quality regularly. Change the oil if it appears dirty or cloudy.
  4. Regular Maintenance: Keep the exterior of the freeze dryer clean and free from dust. This helps maintain airflow and efficiency.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals, as they can damage the materials of the freeze dryer.
