1. How MHC 400 works
The convenient Water Distiller provides high quality water using the
oldest most effective method of water treatment. When your
MHC 400 is turned on, the water temperature rises and the light
volatile gases boil off and are discharged through a vent in the
condensing coil. The water temperature is then heated (100°C),
killing bacteria, viruses, or other living organisms that may be
present. As the boiling water converts to steam it leaves behind all
chemicals, salts, and other contaminants. The steam vapor rises
through a condensing coil, cooling the steam, turning it into distilled
water.
2. Preparing MHC 400 for use
Although care is taken so your unit and storage bottle are clean,
some harmless matter may remain from manufacturing, packaging,
or shipping. This could leave an unwanted taste or odor in the distilled
water the first time you use it. To remove any taste or odor causing
matter, do the following:
Set the Distiller on your counter or table top.
Looking at Fig.1, unplug the cover cord from its receptacle on the
Distiller.
Holding by the top handle, lift the cover upward to remove, then set
aside.
The storage bottle (Fig.2) is inside the Distiller. Pull it out and remove
the cap. Keep the cap in a handy place. You will use it later.
Rinse and fill the stainless steel tank with about 1,5 liters of water.
Put the cover onto the tank and plug the cover cord into the base receptacle on the Distiller.
Place the storage bottle under the spout, (Fig.2) and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
Press the RESET button, if needed (pushed inward at the factory), to turn MHC 400 on (fan motor
begins to run). When the bottle contains 2 or 3 cupfuls of water, unplug the cover cord (keep power cord
plugged in at wall outlet) from the receptacle on the Distiller, BUT DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER. The
remaining water will boil and pass through the system as steam to clean all surfaces.
The Distiller shuts off automatically when the water has boiled away (no more steam coming from spout)
after this time, unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.

3. Making distilled water
Unplug the cover cord from its receptacle on the MHC 400 (Fig.1). Holding by the top handle, lift the
cover off and set aside.
Fill the tank with tap water up to the max.fill line (approx. 4 liter).
Put the cover on the Distiller and plug the cover cord into the receptacle on the Distiller.
Set the storage bottle (cap removed) with the opening directly under the spout.
Plug the power cord into any appropriate wall outlet.
Press the RESET button. The fan motor in the cover begins to run (check the cover cord plug-in if it does
not).
When the cycle is over MHC 400 turns off automatically. AFTER THE FAN MOTOR STOPS, WAIT AT
LEAST 30 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER.
WARNING: NEVER REMOVE THE COVER WHILE THE FAN MOTOR IS RUNNING, OR FOR 30
MINUTES AFTER IT STOPS. YOU COULD GET SEVERE BURNS FROM THE BOILING WATER OR
STEAM.
Unplug the Distiller power cord from the wall outlet.
4. Cleaning the tank
After each use, rinse the inside with lukewarm tap water and remove any residue. If a deposit starts to form
at the bottom, use Distiller cleaner. Follow the instructions on the cleaner bottle.
Rub with soft scouring pad and rinse thoroughly.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE MHC 400 IN WATER.
Wipe the outside of your Distiller with a soft sponge and mild soap.
