Congratulations!
Your decision to purchase a countertop water distiller is an
intelligent choice in providing the best for you and your family.
Your distiller will provide cleaner, good tasting water for drinking
and for making juices, coffee and tea. You can be confident of
the quality of the water you use for cooking, watering plants, and
for appliances requiring distilled water. Your countertop distiller
will provide you with peace of mind, knowing you have a durable
appliance capable of reducing many impurities which can be found
in tap water. With minimum maintenance your distiller will provide
convenient, trouble-free operation.
Distillation… naturally dependable!
Using nature’s own design for recycling water, distillation reduces
impurities through the process of evaporation and condensation.
As the water is heated it turns into vapor which rises, leaving most
impurities behind in the boiling
chamber or discharged through
the volatile gas vent. As the water
vapor cools, it condenses into
a liquid state. A final polishing
takes place as the water passes
through the post carbon filter.
The result? Water quality that is
naturally dependable for you and
your family.

Water Bottle Boiling Chamber Distiller Chassis
PREPARE YOUR DISTILLER
Before using your distiller for the first time, please follow the steps below.
CLEAN THE WATER BOTTLE
First, make sure the dispensing valve is installed and tightened onto the water
bottle. Then fill the water bottle about 3⁄4full with water. Add one or two drops of
dish detergent to the water. Do not install the carbon filter at this time. Seal
the bottle’s top opening with the cap supplied. Shake the bottle vigorously and
then drain. Rinse the bottle thoroughly to remove all of the detergent.
NOTE: Do not allow the soap/water mixture to remain in the water bottle for
long periods of time. Do not use the water bottle to store liquids other than
distilled water. Liquids other than distilled water may transfer a taste or odor to the
water bottle.
TO SANITIZE WATER BOTTLE
Add 43⁄4ounces (150 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2) to the water
bottle. Fill the bottle with hot (160˚F/71˚C) distilled or tap water. Do not install
the carbon filter at this time. Cap the water bottle and shake the vigorously.
Let stand for twenty minutes then drain thoroughly. Rinse with room temperature
distilled or tap water, then drain. Water bottle may be used immediately or
allowed to air dry.
PREPARE THE CARBON FILTER
To prepare the carbon filter, place it in boiling water for five minutes. Drain
excess water from filter. Place the filter into the water bottle. The same cleaning
process should be used whenever a new replacement filter is installed. The

boiling process will remove any carbon dust that formed as a result of shipping.
It will also remove any air bubbles present in the carbon. Failure to complete this
step may result in water not flowing through the filter cup.
NOTE: The filter cup should be replaced every two months or whenever
an undesirable taste is detected in the distilled water.
Your distiller is now ready for use.
NOTE: Be sure to place the distiller in a location that provides adequate
ventilation during operation, with at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance to the
sides and back, and 3 inches (8 cm) to the top of the unit. Do not operate the distiller
in an enclosed area such as a cupboard or cabinet. The distiller must be operated in air
temperatures of 40˚F-110˚F (5˚C-45˚C).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING DISTILLED WATER
1. Place the distiller on a dry, level surface in a well ventilated area. Plug the cord
into a properly grounded rated voltage AC electrical outlet ONLY.
2. Remove the boiling chamber from the distiller by grasping its handle and
pulling it straight out of the distiller chassis. Do not lift up when pulling the
boiling chamber out of the chassis.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, burn and/or scald injury, do not
remove the boiling chamber until it has cooled completely.
3. Remove the boiling chamber’s cap by turning it counterclockwise. Note the
four tabs at the base of the boiling chamber’s fill opening.
4. Fill the boiling chamber with cold
tap water to the bottom of the four
tabs which equals 1 gallon (4 liters).
Do not overfill boiling chamber.
Overfilling the boiling chamber
may result in leakage, electrical
failure, electrical hazard, or
damage to the distiller.
5. Replace the boiling chamber’s cap
by turning it clockwise.
6. Make sure the baffle is in place and its
securing nut is tightened. To do this,
insert the long end of the baffle, flat
side down into the spout and secure
with the nut. The hole on the flat side
of the baffle should be facing down.
It is important that you tighten the

securing nut, with baffle properly in place,
onto the boiling chamber before each use.
Failure to properly secure the baffle and nut
may result in leakage or early shut off of the
distiller.
7. Wipe off any water on the outside and bottom
of the boiling chamber and around the elec-
trical connection.
8. Slide the boiling chamber into the distiller
chassis and press firmly to ensure that it is
properly placed. It is important that the boiling
chamber be pressed firmly into the distiller
chassis. It is recommended that you place one
hand on the back of the distiller chassis and
push the boiling chamber into the chassis with
the other hand. To ensure that a tight electrical
connection is made, also press on the base of
the boiling chamber near the start button.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or
property damage the boiling chamber
must be fully engaged prior to start-up.
9. Press the “start” button at the base of the
boiling chamber.
NOTE: The button will glow when the
boiling chamber is heating; however, the
light will go out, and the boiling chamber will stop
heating if electrical power to the boiling chamber is
interrupted or stopped. If this occurs, press the start
button again to restart the distillation cycle.
10. The cooling fan will not start immediately.
A delayed fan startup feature has been included
in your distiller. The fan will start once the boiling
chamber has reached a pre-determined tempera-
ture, approximately 30-40 minutes after starting
the cycle.
11. Place a prepared carbon filter (see page 4) into the
opening at the top of the water bottle. Do not
install cap onto water bottle. The bottle must
be left uncapped to allow water to enter it from
the distiller.

12. Make sure that the dispensing valve is securely tightened onto the water
bottle.
13. Place the water bottle on the base of the distiller chassis. The base of the distiller
chassis has raised edges to assist in positioning the water bottle properly.
NOTE: Do not remove the water bottle while the distiller is running.
14. At the end of the distillation cycle (about 4 to 4½ hours), the distiller will shut
off automatically and the “start” light will go out. The fan will continue to
operate for several minutes. Let the distiller cool completely before removing
the boiling chamber from the chassis.
15. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.
NOTE: Approximately 8 ounces (240 ml) of water will remain in the boiling
chamber at the end of the distillation cycle. This feature reduces scale deposits
in the boiling chamber.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, burn and/or scald injury, do
not remove the boiling chamber while the start button is illuminated
or at any time when the boiling chamber is hot. Always unplug the
distiller from the wall outlet and allow the boiling chamber to cool
completely before removing it from the distiller.
NOTE: The water bottle has been designed to hold one gallon (4 liters) of
water and to provide enough space so that the carbon filter does not remain
in contact with the distilled water. Therefore, the water bottle will not
fill completely.
Once the distillation cycle is complete, the water bottle may be placed in
the refrigerator and used to dispense the distilled water. The filter may be
left in the water bottle or removed and stored until the next cycle of the
distiller is run. Secure the cap onto the water bottle to avoid spilling. The cap
must be opened slightly before dispensing water. It is recommended that
the water bottle NOT be placed in a freezer as the handle may become brittle
and crack.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse
the distiller, its boiling chamber, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
Do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning. Use a soft cloth
and mild detergent.
BOILING CHAMBER
Rinse the boiling chamber after every distillation cycle once the unit has
cooled completely. Remove the baffle by unscrewing its securing nut. Inspect
the baffle for scale deposits. Half fill the boiling chamber with tap water, agitate
and discard the water. The water may be drained through the spout. Securely
reinstall the baffle and securing nut.

-8-
It is important to wipe off all water deposits inside the distiller chassis, on
the base of the chassis and also all water deposits on the outside bottom
of the boiling chamber between each distillation cycle. If this is not done,
corrosion of the distiller or electrical hazard may occur or it may cause the
distiller to shut off early, before producing a full gallon of water.
Heavy scale deposits should be removed from the boiling chamber whenever
they exceed 1⁄16 of an inch (.16 cm). Add enough plain white distilled vinegar to
the boiling chamber so that the scale deposits are covered. Allow the vinegar to
stand for at least twenty minutes and then discard. Rinse the boiling chamber.
Repeat this process if necessary. Do not heat vinegar in boiling chamber. A
descaler or coffeemaker or kettle cleaner may also be used to clean the boiling
chamber.
WATER BOTTLE
To Sanitize Water Bottle: It is recommended that this be done whenever an
undesirable taste is detected in your distilled water. See page 4 under Prepare
Your Distiller for instructions on sanitizing the water bottle.
OUTSIDE SURFACES
Use a common household glass or appliance cleaner or a damp soft cloth to clean
the distiller’s outside surfaces. Do not use abrasive or solvent based cleaners. Do
not spray cleaning products directly onto the distiller.
The distiller’s cooling system vents (see diagram on page 4) should be vacuumed
occasionally or cleaned with a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Failure to do
so may cause the distiller to overheat, shut off early, or emit a foul odor.
CARBON FILTER
Your distiller comes with a disposable filter cup. The filter cup should be replaced
every two months or whenever an undesirable taste is detected in the distilled
water. See page 4.
NOTE: Underwriters Laboratories Inc., has not investigated the
physiological effect of the use of the carbon filter, beneficial or otherwise.
Cleaning the Surfaces
- Allow the distiller to cool down fully and disconnect the appliance from the
main electrical outlet before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the distiller or base in water.
- Use a soft dampened cloth to wipe the outside of the distiller and dry with a
soft, dry cloth.
- DO NOT use metal polish or harsh scouring agents.
- Ensure that all connectors and sockets are kept dry.

práctica y sin problemas.
Destilación… ¡naturalmente confiable!
Utilizando el propio diseño de la naturaleza para reciclar agua, la
destilación reduce las impurezas a través del proceso de evaporación
y condensación. A medida que el agua se calienta, se convierte en
vapor y se eleva, dejando la mayor parte de las impurezas en la
cámara de ebullición o desechándolas a través de los orificios de
ventilación de gases volátiles. A medida que se enfría el vapor de
agua, se condensa y vuelve a
su estado líquido. Al medida
que el agua pasa a través del
filtro de carbón posterior,
ocurre una purificación final.
¿El resultado? Calidad de agua,
que es naturalmente confiable
para usted y su familia.
