Oil-sealed vacuum pump with exhaust filter (oil mist separator)
WARNING
Risk of poisoning/infection caused by vacuum pump exhaust gases
The exhaust gases of the vacuum pump may contain harmful substances
originating from the product.
Inhalation may cause severe damage to health.
• Use the freeze-dryer only if it is equipped with a pipe that is properly
connected to the outlet of the vacuum pump/exhaust filter (oil mist
separator) and led to the outside via the roof!
• Depending on the product that is dried in the freeze-dryer, it may be
necessary to install a suitable filter system in the exhaust gas pipe!
Compliance with the local rules and regulations concerning the
protection of the environment must be ensured!
NOTE
Refer to the separate instruction manual of the vacuum pump and exhaust
filter (oil mist separator)!
The vacuum pump must be connected to the vacuum connection of the unit
and to the electrical socket at the back of the unit, which is marked
accordingly (see chapter 2.1.1 - "Functional and operating elements").
