avoid risk of re 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.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
1. WAR N I NG: Steam and hot, boiling water will scald the skin and
result in severe burns. Water in the boiler tank is heated to boiling
(212° F). Even water at 130° F can cause severe burns. A LWAYS seek
immediate medical attention for burns caused by hot, boiling water
or steam. To avoid risk of severe burns:
• DO NOT allow children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities to operate the Distiller.
• DO NOT allow children near the Distiller without close supervision.
Warn others of possible risks.
• DO NOT change position or location of Distiller while it is operating
or cooling. Wait at least 30 minutes after a completed cycle or 5 hours
if cycle is interrupted before moving the distiller.
• DO NOT lift boiling tank cover while Distiller is operating or cool-
ing. Wait at least 30 minutes after a completed cycle or 5 hours if cycle
is interrupted before lifting the cover.
• DO NOT unplug Distiller from electrical outlet once cycle has been
started and the fan and red indicator light are on. Press reset button if
the cycle is accidentally interrupted.
• 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 surface ONLY.
• DO NOT place Distiller on a tablecloth or near the edge of the sup-
ported surface where it can be bumped or pulled down.
2. DO NOT attempt to make safe drinking water from non-potable
sources. Use with potable water only. DO NOT use salt water as this
will damage certain components and void warranty. Appliance has not
been tested or certied by the California Department of Public Health.

3. A LWAYS 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.
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. ALWAY S make sure collection/storage bottle is properly positioned
with spout cover of lid in the open position for proper water collection
(g. B, page 5). DO NOT remove collection/storage bottle while
Distiller is operating.
7. DO NOT operate without water in the boiler tank. Permanent dam-
age may occur.
8. DO NOT ll boiler tank above the “FULL” lines. Overlling will
jeopardize water quality and may result in damage to Distiller not
covered by the warranty. To avoid risk of overlling or spilling, use
a pitcher to ll the boiler tank.
9. DO NOT use appliance for cooking, heating, humidifying or any
other purpose except making distilled water.
10. DO NOT attempt to repair the Distiller. ere are NO user
serviceable parts inside. If servicing becomes necessary,
please contact your authorized dealer or an authorized service
facility. See warranty for service details (Page 12).
ELECTRIC CORD STATEMENT
1. Plug Distiller into a grounded electrical outlet only.
2. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If an extension
cord must be used, DO NOT allow cord to hang over the edge of
counter or contact hot surfaces.
3. To prevent electric shock, injury or re, a grounded extension cord
must be rated at least as great as the electrical rating shown on bottom
of the Distiller.
4. DO NOT operate with a damaged cord or plug, after a malfunction,
or if the Distiller has been damaged in any manner. Return to an
authorized dealer or authorized service facility for examination, repair
or replacement.

HOW IT WORKS
Figure A
is appliance produces distilled water by using the oldest, most e ective
method of water treatment–steam distillation. When the Distiller is
operating, the water temperature rises to 212° F (100° C), killing bacteria,
cysts, and viruses that may be present. As boiling water 1 converts to
steam 2, it rises and leaves behind dead microbes, dissolved solids, salts,
heavy metals, and other substances. Low boiling light gases that may be
present are discharged through the gaseous vent 3. Steam is then cooled
in the stainless steel condenser 4, turning it into distilled water which
percolates through a nal polishing coconut shell carbon lter 5 to
enhance quality by adsorption of VOCs (volatile organic compounds),
then is collected in the borosilicate glass collection/storage bottle 6.
