NOTE: Do not overfill the boiling chamber. Overfilling can result in leakage, electronic failure, electrical
hazard or damage to the distiller. Overfilling can also compromise the distilled water quality resulting in your
STATIM Autoclave to not run properly.
3. Make sure the baffle is in place and its
securing nut is tightened. Ensure the hole
on the flat side of the baffle is downward
facing and that the flat gasket and O-Ring
are in place.
4. Insert the long end of the baffle into the
spout.
5. Do not force the baffle into the spout!
Recheck the baffle so the flat side with the
hole is facing down and reinsert and
monitor the flat part.
6. Secure the baffle in place with the securing nut.
NOTE: If you do not have a flat gasket contact your dealer. We recommend replacing these parts if the o-ring
and/or flat gasket are out of shape, missing or after one-year of continuous heavy use.
Be sure to tighten the baffle nut, with the baffle in place, into 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.
5. Start The Distilling Process.
1. Slide the boiling chamber into the chassis and press firmly to ensure proper placement.
2. Press the start button at the base of the boiling chamber.
3. Immediately place the water bottle with cap removed into the chassis.
6. Maintaining your Aquastat
With minimum maintenance, your Aqustat will provide convenient, trouble free operation.
To ensure this, please do the following:
1. Rinse the boiling chamber after every distillation cycle once the unit has cooled completely.
2. Inspect the baffle, o-ring and gasket for scale build up and signs of wear.
3. Wipe off any water deposits inside the distiller chassis.
4. Remove heavy scale deposits from the boiling chamber whenever they exceed 1/16 of an inch (.16cm).
5. If servicing should become necessary - Do not attempt to repair the distiller yourself. Please contact your
authorized SciCan dealer.
