The shelf heaters can be set to automatically control the rate of sublimation during the primary drying cycle.Reattached hose and ran another full system test (results, 750 mTorr lowest steady reading - looking through the oil level window, some bubbling seen in oil even after an hour of pumpdown - some "air" noises from pump)
Looking at the picture you can see the water drops on the insulation and where the water had flowed down the back of the front panel.
