Harvest Right Oil Filter

Harvest Right Oil Filter

Description

• The filter is not dishwasher safe.
• Only use the filter with vacuum pump oil.

First Use:

1. Unbox the cartridge and insert it into the cartridge holder.
2. Press the cartridge firmly until it seals tightly.

Optional: Use the dial on the lid to note the month you last filtered the oil, for easy tracking.

Oil Filtration Instructions:

1. Open the oil reservoir's drain valve to allow oil to drain into the filter. Lift the rear of the vacuum pump slightly to ensure all the oil is drained.
2. Wait for the oil to filter through the system.
3. After filtering, the oil and any water will separate naturally. The oil will float on top, while the water sinks to the bottom.
4. Remove the water by pouring it off, leaving the oil behind. Do not pour the water back into the vacuum pump, as this can damage it.
5. Pour the filtered or fresh oil into your vacuum pump.

How to Know Your Oil is Clean:

• The oil should be free of debris or particles.
• It should not appear milky or cloudy.
• It should be clear, typically yellow or amber in color.
• Your vacuum pump should achieve a suitable pressure (measured in mTorr) for freeze-drying.

When to Replace Your Oil Filter:

• If the oil no longer drains through the filter (which can happen as debris builds up).
• If the oil isn’t being properly cleaned (e.g., if it remains milky or full of debris).

How to Replace the Oil Filter:

• Replace the cartridge or order a new set from Harvest Right.
• Cartridges typically need to be replaced after 15-20 uses, or sooner if the oil quality is poor.

What's Included:

• One free oil filter is included with each freeze dryer purchase.
