To clean your freeze dryer, we recommend using mild detergent and warm water. Here are some general cleaning tips:
- 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.
- 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.
- Vacuum Pump: If you have an oil pump, check the oil level and quality regularly. Change the oil if it appears dirty or cloudy.
- Regular Maintenance: Keep the exterior of the freeze dryer clean and free from dust. This helps maintain airflow and efficiency.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals, as they can damage the materials of the freeze dryer.
