vision. Boiling water will scald if spilled on skin. Warn other users
of possible dangers from boiling water and/or escaping steam.
3.DO NOT remove kettle while Purifier is operating. Let cool at least
30 minutes after a cycle is finished. Boiling water or steam can cause

4.DO NOT change position or location of Purifier while it is operat-
ing or cooling. Wait at least one hour after a cycle is finished or in-
terrupted before moving Purifier. Boiling water or steam can cause
severeburns.
5.DO NOT place too near an edge of the supported surface where
Purifier can be bumped or be pulled down on someone. DO NOT
allow power cord or extension cord to hang over the edge of a coun-
ter or contact hot surfaces.
6. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If an exten-
sion cord must be used, its marked electrical rating should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the Purifier. Electrical rating is
found on bottom of Purifier.
7. To protect against fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons,
DO NOT immerse power cord or Purifier in water or liquid.
8. DO NOT operate with a damaged cord or plug, after a malfunction,
or if the Purifier has been damaged in any manner. Return to
an authorized dealer or qualified service facility for examination
andrepair.
9.ThisPurifier is recommended for use with only potable water

Provide adequate air space (at least 4 inches from walls or cabinets)
when in use. DO NOT place, store, or stack anything on top of or
against sides of Distiller while in operation. DO NOT place on or
near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. DO NOT operate without water in the kettle. Permanent damage
may occur.
12. DO NOT plug steam vent on top of kettle cover.
13. This Purifier requires no special care other than general cleaning
(page 9) and periodic filter replacement (page 7). If servicing becomes
necessary, please contact your authorized dealer or an authorized
service facility. DO NOT attempt to repair Purifier yourself. There
are NO user serviceable parts. See warranty for service details.
14. Unplug from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow

15. Make sure collection/storage carafe is properly placed for water
collection.
16. DO NOT FILL THE KETTLE ABOVE THE “MAX” LINES.
Overfilling the kettle will jeopardize water quality and may result in
damage to the Purifier that is not covered by the warranty.
17. DO NOT use appliance for other than intended use.
Plug Purifier into a GROUNDED 120 volt electrical outlet only. This
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, the plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the 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.
CAUTION: NEVER REMOVE THE KETTLE WHILE THE FAN
MOTOR IS RUNNING, OR FOR 30 MINUTES AFTER IT STOPS.
SEVERE BURNS CAN RESULT FROM BOILING WATER OR
STEAM.

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
housing (fig. D). Replace cover on housing and place lid on carafe.
Replace Filter
The filter should be replaced as inicated 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 re-
placement filters from the outlet where you purchased your Purifier.

PURIFIER MAINTENANCE
WARNING: ALWAYS BE SURE TO UNPLUG POWER CORD
FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING OR
SERVICINGPURIFIER.
Cleaning Kettle
Before every distillation cycle, rinse the inside 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 will prevent the system from purifying a
complete batch of water.Remove kettle from base unit. Fill kettle with
hot water and follow the instructions on the cleaner. 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 Purifier with 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 Purifier 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.
