Your new distiller is tested for leaks and proper operation at the factory prior to shipment. As a
result of this test your distiller will likely have a visible water ring inside the boiling tank.

Proper cleaning of the boiling tank is important. This is necessary to produce the purest water
possible and assure trouble free operation of your equipment.

The boiling tank is TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welded. As water is boiled, minerals may cling to
the weld, appearing as rust. This does not affect the quality of the water!

Cool air is required to operate your distiller. Do not restrict airflow by placing objects around or
tightly against the distiller. This appliance is intended for household use.

The distiller must be plugged directly into a wall outlet, which should be on a dedicated circuit.
