IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow the
instructions and/or warnings in this Use & Care Guide. A person who
has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is
notqualified to operate this appliance.
CAUTION: Basic safety precautions should always be followed to
avoid risk of fire and electric shock. Because boiling water is generated
in this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
avoid risk of burns from hot steam and scalding water, especially when
children are present.
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE:
1.WARNING : Steam and hot, boiling water will scald the skin and
result in severe burns. ALWAYS seek immediate medical attention for
burns caused by hot, boiling water or steam. To avoid risk of severe
burns:
• DO NOT allow children near the Distiller without close supervision.
Warn others of possible risks.
•DO NOT remove kettle while Distiller is operating or cooling. Wait at
least 30 minutes after the completed cycle before removing kettle or
cover. If the cycle is interrupted, restart and allow cycle to complete or
wait at least 5 hours before removing kettle from base unit.
•DO NOT change position or location of Distiller while it is oper-
ating or cooling. Wait at least 30 minutes after the completed cycle
before moving the Distiller. If the cycle is interrupted, wait at least 5
hours before moving the Distiller.
•DO NOT operate in a moving conveyance such as RV or boat.
• DO NOT use outdoors. Use INDOORS on a dry, level, well-support-
ed, stable surface.
•DO NOT place the Distiller on a tablecloth or too near the edge of the
supported surface where it can be bumped or pulled down.
2.DO NOT attempt to make safe drinking water from non-potable
water sources. DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after distilling. DO NOT use salt water. Appliance has not been
testedorcertified by the California Department of Public Health.
3.ALWAYS operate in a well-ventilated area away from other heat
sources. Provide adequate air space (at least 4 inches from walls or
cabinets) when in use.
2Waterwise 8800 Use & Care Guide

4.DO NOT place, store, or stack anything on top of or against sides of
Distiller while in operation.
5.DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner.
6.ALWAYS make sure collection/storage carafe is properly placed for
water collection.
7. DO NOT operate without water in the kettle.
8.DO NOT fill kettle above the “MAX” lines. Overfilling kettle will
jeopardize water quality and may result in damage to Distiller. To
avoid risk of overfilling, use a pitcher to fill the kettle.
9.DO NOT use appliance for cooking, heating, humidifying, or any
other purpose except distilling water.
10. DO NOT operate with damaged cord or plug, after a malfunction or
if Distiller has been damaged in any manner. Return to an authorized
dealer or qualified service facility for evaluation and repair.
11. The Distiller requires no special care other than general cleaning
and periodic filter replacement. If servicing becomes necessary,
please contact your authorized dealer or an authorized service
facility. DO NOT attempt to repair the Distiller yourself. There
are NO user serviceable parts. See warranty for service details.
ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT
CAUTION:Your Distiller has a short cord as a safety precaution
to prevent injury or property damage resulting from pulling, tripping
or becoming entangled with the cord.
If you must use an extension cord, it must not drape or hang over the edge of a counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. To prevent electric
shock, injury, or fire, a polarized extension cord must be rated at least 800 watts and
10 amps.
Plug Distiller into a 120 volt electrical outlet only. The cord has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) designed to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way.
DO NOT immerse power cord, kettle or base unit in water or liquid
to avoid fire, electrical shock and injury to persons.

PREPARING FOR FIRST TIME USE
IMPORTANT: DO NOT immerse base unit, kettle or power cord
inwater.
CleanKettle
• Remove kettle from base unit.
• Remove kettle cover by twisting counterclockwise, then lift.
• Wash inside of kettle with soap and warm water.
• Rinse thoroughly.
CleanCarafe
• Remove carafe from base unit and remove lid.
• Pull tab on bottom of lid to release carbon compartment cover
(fig. D).
• Wash carafe and cover with soap and warm water.
• Rinse thoroughly.
Carbon Filter Preparation
Distillation System uses a carbon filter in the carafe cover as a final “polish-
ing” treatment to remove traces of odors before distilled/filtered water is
collected in carafe. Unit may be operated with or without carbon filter.
• Wash your hands with
soap and warm water.
• Remove filter from
plastic bag.
• Fill a clean container
with distilled or
boiled tap water.
• Slowly immerse a
narrow end of the
filter bag into the
water.

Once the bottom quarter (1/4) is wet, slowly immerse entire bag,
squeezing gently to remove air. If the bag “puffs up,” you are immers-
ing it too quickly.
• Once the bag has been immersed, remove from the water and rinse it
by pouring more distilled water over bag to remove any carbon fines
(dust).
Install Filter
Be sure carbon is evenly distributed within bag, then place bag in filter
compartment(fig. D). Replace cover on compartment and place lid on
carafe. Discard first gallon of distilled water as it may contain small, harm-
less carbon fines.
USING THE COUNTERTOP DISTILLER
Operational maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for
this product to perform as advertised.
1. Set Distiller on a dry, level, well-supported, stable surface.
2. Rinse and fill kettle to “MAX” lines with approximately 1 gallon of
ordinary tap water. DO NOT fill above “MAX” fill lines (fig. E).
3. Replace kettle cover. Twist clockwise to lock. Slide kettle into base unit
and press firmly to ensure kettle is properly placed (fig. C).
4. Place carafe on base unit and plug power cord into a polarized 120
voltoutlet.
5. Press the ”Start/Stop” button to turn Distiller on (fig. C). The “On”
light will illuminate.
WARNING: Never remove the kettle while the fan motor is running
or for 30 minutes after a completed cycle. If cycle is interrupted, restart
and allow cycle to complete or wait at least 5 hours before removing the
kettle to allow water to cool.
6.Discardfirst gallon of distilled water as it may contain some harmless
matter from manufacturing and/or packaging.

7. Rinse kettle thoroughly before refilling.
8. To pour water from carafe, open spout by pulling on center strip in
direction of arrow indicator near thumb position.
9. Water may be stored in carafe in the refrigerator.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always unplug power cord from electrical outlet and
allow unit to completely cool before cleaning or servicing distiller.
Replace Filter
The filter should be replaced as indicated by filter status bar (every two to
three months). Replace more often should the distilled water begin to have
an unwanted taste or odor. Reset the filter status bar by pressing and hold-
ing the “Delay” button (fig. A) for seven seconds. Discard first gallon of
distilled water as it may contain small, harmless carbon fines. Order
replacement filters from the source where you purchased your Distillation
System.
Cleaning Kettle
Before or after every distillation cycle, rinse inside of the kettle with
lukewarm tap water and remove any loose residue. Clean by wiping out the
inside of the kettle with a damp cloth and rinse. If scale starts to form at
the bottom, use an approved cleaner/descaler such as KLEENWISE to
remove deposits. White vinegar or automatic coffee pot cleaner can also
be used. Residue buildup on the bottom of the kettle may prevent the
Distiller from operating.To descale, remove kettle from base unit.
Fill kettle with hot water until water covers scale and follow the instructions
on the cleaner container. Use a soft plastic or nylon scouring pad if needed.
DO NOT use abrasive cleansers, caustic acids, steel wool pads, or metal
utensils. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. DO NOT operate Distiller with
a cleaning solution in kettle.
Cleaning Carafe
Clean with mild dish detergent and soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly. DO NOT
use carafe to store liquids other than purified water. Other liquids may
transfer a taste or odor.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
To keep your Distiller looking new, periodically clean the exterior plastic
surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. DO NOT use any caustic cleaning solu-
tions, scouring pads or powders because they will damage the plastic finish.
