HOW YOUR PURIFIER WORKS

The Purifier distills and turns ordinary tap water into
clean, clear purified water. Uses for purified water in-

clude drinking, cooking, ice cubes, salt- restricted diets,
baby formulas, steam irons, photo processing, and
cleaning contact lenses.

By heating water to boiling, the water is changed to
steam, which rises. As the steam cools and turns back

into water, it is collected inthe carafe. Impurities are left
behind inthe kettle.

Purified water will remain fresher-tasting if it is kept
tightly capped. Also shaking the carafe before pouring

will aerate the water and make it taste better.
Order extra carafes from Sears (see page 6) so you

can chill one bottle of purified water while you make
more.
