Vacuum levels

• Convex - If the material droops too low it can either touch your template and cool or increase the volume of the dome to a level that is difficult to close.
• Concave - If the material is sucked upwards it can touch the heating element, thin out and burst.

Lever Action

• A quick pull down of the lever ensures minimal cooling occurs
