Cleaning Instruction Prior To First Distillation
You need to clean the distiller before making water to drink or use.
1. Please remove the top and pour 2 liters of water into the stainless steel tank, then put the
top back on. Please fully insert the two power cords into the sockets on the distiller then
insert the main power cord into the wall outlet.
※Note:
1When the fan starts running, it means the distiller is beginning to heat up.
2The RESET button on the distiller is factory-set at “ON” position, thus pressing the
RESET button to start the distiller is not necessary for the first time user. It always turns
itself off automatically when distillation is completed.
2. During each distillation, a water container (PP or glass bottle, or any other type of water
container) must be placed underneath the distiller nozzle to collect distilled water.
※Do not drink the 2 liters water that is used to clean up the pipeline.
Starting-up
1. The RESET button serves only to start the machine,
and after each distillation the machine will turn off
automatically.
2. Please press down the RESET button to start the
machine, when the fan starts running, it means the
distiller is starting to heat up.
3. Please disconnect the main power cord from the wall
outlet in order to stop the distiller during a distillation
process.
4. Please do not replace any part in the distiller in order
to avoid system failure.
5. For security reason, if the RESET button does not
work, (e.g., the RESET button has stuck, lose its
elasticity, or the power did not turn off automatically
after the distillation), please stop using the distiller
immediately and contact your local distributor for
repair.

6
Distillation Process
1. Remove the top from the distiller then
pour water into the stainless steel tank.
※Please do not surpass the "FULL" line
(Please check the image on the right).
※Using hot or boiled water can reduce the distillation time
2. Place the top back onto the distiller then insert the two power cords into the sockets on the distiller
and please make sure both power cords have been plugged in properly by verifying the white lines
on both power cord plugs are no longer visible in order to avoid poor connection (please check the
images below).
3. Please make sure that the steps above (steps: 1&2) are performed properly before
pressing down the RESET button. When the fan starts running after hitting the RESET
button, it means the distiller is starting to heat up.
4. During each distillation process, a water container (PP or glass bottle, or any other type of
water container) must be placed underneath the distiller nozzle to collect the distilled water.
Attention to Power cords
1. Please do not shake the plug while pulling it out. Just pull out the plug directly to avoid damaging
the plug terminals.
2. Before each distillation process, please verify that the power cords are connected properly to the
distiller in order to avoid a bad connection, or damage to the distiller.
3. Power cord is one of the consumables. If power cord has any abnormality (for example: the plastic
appearance has melted or deformed), please stop using it and replace with a new one.
Attention
1. Make sure you use the correct voltage, and please do not use any transformer.
2. Please do not share the same outlet with other electrical appliances in order to prevent overloading.
3. Please keep the distiller exterior dry and please do not immerse the distiller in water.
4. Please place the distiller in a well-ventilated place during the distillation process.
5. Please keep a minimum space of 20cm above the distiller top in order to help the distiller cool down.
6. Please place the distiller on a flat surface in order to avoid it from sliding or falling.
7. This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
8. Please do not put any flammable materials under the distiller.
9. Please do not remove the top during the distillation process in order to avoid injury caused by the
hot steam.
10.After each distillation, please give the machine at least 20 minutes to cool down before starting
another distillation process.

Stainless Steel Tank Cleaning Instruction
Attention: During operation and cleaning, please avoid any water contacting the sockets on the water
distiller and the power cords in order to prevent the short circuit.
Attention
※If the level of residue remaining inside the stainless steel tank is too thick, please repeat
the steps mentioned above until the stainless steel tank is completely clean.
※The cleaner used for this product is food-grade and it’s completely harmless to human
body, thus please use with ease.
※Please clean the stainless steel tank regularly in order to prevent too much residue
build-up inside the distiller as this could greatly decrease the machine’s heating
efficiency.
※Please do not use any abrasive cleaner or brushes to clean the distiller in order to avoid
damaging the surface of the stainless steel tank.
※Please do not immerse any part of the distiller in water and please keep the distiller’s
exterior as dry as possible.
※After cleaning the stainless steel tank, please make sure that both power cords remain as
dry as possible. If the power cords come in contact with water, please use dry towels to
wipe water off of the power cords in order to prevent leakage.
※Please use vacuum cleaners or air guns to clean the aluminum fins and fan blades
regularly in order to prevent too much dust covering the aluminum fins and fan blades,
which would cause the distiller to overheat.
※Please make sure that the stainless steel tank of the water distiller remains clean when the
machine is not used in order to avoid any corrosion due to excess residue.
1. Please remove the top and pour hot water into the
stainless steel tank until the water level has surpassed
the residue build-up.
2. Please add 1-4 teaspoon of cleaner to the stainless steel
tank (the amount of the cleaner added depends on how
much residue remains in the stainless steel tank).
3. Please connect the main power cord to the wall outlet
then press the RESET button and allow the distiller to
heat up for at least 20 minutes before unplugging the
power cord from the wall outlet. Please wait until the
distiller has completely cooled down and then wipe the
residues with a cloth or dishtowels (do not use anything
that will scratch the stainless steel and please make sure
that the steps above are performed in a well-ventilated
area).
