D. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade

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, icecubes, 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 in the carafe. Impurities are left
behind in the 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.
