Although safe, operating your
freeze dryer in temperatures
above 90 degrees Fahrenheit could
affect batch times and have an
adverse effect on the condensing
unit (freezer). As the temperature
rises where your freeze dryer
operates, so does the length of time
it takes to nish batches of food.
This happens because with hotter
operating temperatures it is harder
to reach the extreme cold required
for freeze drying.
For example: a batch that normally
takes 24 hours to nish in a 75°F
environment could take over 40 hours
to complete in hot temperatures.
UNPACKING
4. Remove the vacuum pump from
its packaging and place it beside or
behind the freeze dryer.
5. Unwind power cord.
2.2 RETURNS

CAUTION: Do not lift freeze dryer

cause misalignment and inability to
achieve proper vacuum. Always lift
your freeze dryer appliance from the
base. Lifting the freeze dryer by the
door voids the warranty.
