Intended use
The MELAdest65 water distiller enables the production of }distilled water. Water of drinking water quality is required as
a prerequisite, e.g. tap water. The device does not provide germ-free water. MELAdest65 is intended for use in the med-
ical field, e.g. in medical and dental practices and other medical care facilities outside the patient environment.
Functional principle
When the device is activated, the water temperature increases and escaping gases are boiled, then led through an open-
ing. The water temperature increases to 100°C and begins to boil. During evaporation, the chemicals, salts and soiling
remain in the container. The stream flows through the cooling coil system in the upper section where it cools and con-
denses into distilled water.
Scope of delivery
Please check the scope of delivery before setting up and connecting the device.

Fitting the glass flask
1. Remove the glass flask from the water distiller.
2. Remove all the individual parts from the glass flask carefully.
3. Remove the packaging from the individual parts.
4. Place the glass flask in the plastic guard ring.
5. Loosen a screw on the metal collar on the neck of the glass flask.
6. Align the metal collar in such a way that the other screw on the
collar lie exactly opposite the spout (pos.a).
a
7. Refasten the metal clip with the screw. Do not overtighten the
screws when tightening.
8. Fill the glass flask 3/4 full with warm tap water. Add 1-2 drops of
washing-up liquid and clean the inside of the glass flask.
9. Afterwards, rinse and clean the glass flask thoroughly with clear
water.
10. Place the cover (pos.b) on the glass flask in such a way that the
spout remains open.

11. Place the adapter cover (pos.c) and the spout cover (pos.d) on the
lid of the glass flask. If the covers are not needed, they can be
placed on the corresponding mounts.

12. Place the holder for the adapter cover (pos.e) on the grip end. For
safe storage during operation, the adapter cover can be placed on
the latching lugs (pos.f) of the holder.

13. Place the holder for spout cover (pos.g) from above onto the
holder for the adapter cover. The spout cover can be hooked onto
the rear end (pos.h) for safe storage during operation. In addition,
the holder fixes the cover of the glass flask to prevent it from
falling down.
Before commissioning
Checking the cover seal in the upper section of the distilling chamber
Before initial commissioning and every further use of the device, check the correct position of the cover seal in the upper
section of the distilling chamber. The seal may not present any uneven surfaces and must lay entirely flat. Otherwise,
boiling water could leave the upper section and e.g. flow onto the work surface. If the seal does not lie flat, press it on
with your hand. Do not use sharp-edged objects.

Cleaning the distilling chamber
Although the distilling chamber of the MELAdest65 has been cleaned with the greatest of care, manufacturing, packag-
ing and dispatch procedures could result in the presence of harmless residues of various substances. As a result, the
distilled water produced during initial commissioning could assume an undesired odour. To eliminate all odour-generating
factors, proceed as follows:
1. Set up the water distiller.
2. Remove the connection cable from the distilling chamber.
3. Remove the upper section of the distilling chamber.
4. Fill approx. 0.5l of tap water into the distilling chamber.
5. Put the upper section back on the distilling chamber.
6. Plug the connection cable into the socket on the distilling
chamber.
7. Place the glass flask (laterally rotated) without the adapter cover
under the distilling chamber discharge opening (pos.a).
a
8. Plug the plug into the socket.
9. Press the START/RESET button to activate the water distiller.
ÊThe ventilator motor begins to run.
ÊThe water distiller switches off automatically when no more
steam comes out of the discharge opening.
10. Pull out the power plug.
11. Empty the glass flask.
12. Wipe out the inside of the glass flask with a non-fuzzing cloth.
ÊThe distilling chamber is now flushed and ready for commissioning.
