3. When the vacuum chamber is filled to filling level 02, the evacuation pump is
started up and the starting period is finished.
4. Automatic mode is active:

Now regulate the vacuum pressure with the throttle valve on the right of the vacuum
gauge, depending on the operating viscosity.

Some oils begin to foam intensively when they enter the vacuum chamber. This can
especially be the case when the water content is very high, but also when the oil is
old or high viscosity media are used. If too much foam is caused, it is drawn in by
the vacuum pump.
In this case, for example, reduce the vacuum from 300mbar to 400mbar.
