USE AND CARE OF THE DRINKING WATER CONTAINER

To ensure proper performance and a lifetime of trouble-free service, please read the following information on general use and care of the drinking water container:

• Do not use on stove-top burner, under heating elements, in microwave or conventional ovens.
• Do not store hot liquids nor food in drinking water container.
• Freezer-safe.
• Do not place base in dishwasher. Lid: Dishwasher safe, top rack only.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• The Pure Water Mini-Classic must be plugged directly into a fully grounded outlet.
• The Pure Water Mini-Classic will use approximately 8 amps when operating, so isolate a 10 amp fuse or circuit breaker for the unit.
• This unit operates on 110V, 60 cycles, or as otherwise specified on the back of the distiller.

THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

An extension cord is not recommended. However, an extension cord may be used if care is exercised.
If an extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should exceed the electrical rating of the Pure Water Mini-Classic (see the specifications on back of the unit).
• The extension cord must be a three-pin grounded type.
• The extension cord should not be placed under carpet or left where persons may trip over it.
• Do not overload extension cord with other power consumers.

HOW DISTILLATION AND YOUR DISTILLER WORK

Nature has a way to produce pure water from contaminated sea water (1). When the sun rises in the morning, it starts to heat the surface of the ocean (2). The heat causes molecules or pure water to escape from the surface of the ocean (3) and rise to form clouds (4). When the conditions are right, (5) the clouds cannot hold any moisture and water falls to earth as rain (6). The rain collects in rivers, lakes and reservoirs and is available for drink-ing (7).

NATURE’S DISTILLATION CYCLE…

A distiller operates the same way. Water is taken into a boiling chamber (1) where heat is applied (2). The water boils and water molecules (steam) rise (3). The steam enters the condenser (4) where cool air (5) causes the steam to lose energy and it forms droplets of pure water (6). This water is collected and is fresh, great-tasting, distilled drinking water (7) – the purest kind.

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR MINI-CLASSIC

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION

Boiling Chamber (1). The manually-filled stainless steel boiling chamber holds one gallon of water when filled to the proper level.
Water Level Indicator (2). A small rod extends down inside the boiling chamber. The boiling chamber should be filled to touch the bottom of this indicator.
CAUTION DO NOT Overfill.
Heating Element (3). The 750-watt heating element provides the heat to boil the water in the boiling chamber.

Lid (4). The lid is constructed of heavy-gauge stainless steel and has a special gasket and handle which tightens to seal.
Door (5). The hinged stainless steel door improves the look of the unit and serves an important safety role. DO NOT open the door until the unit has stopped distilling for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Condenser (6). A hollow, finned stainless steel tube where the steam from the boiling chamber is collected and cooled by the air from the fan. The steam is converted into high-purity drinking water. At the top portion of the condensing coil there are two small holes. These are gas vents to allow volatile compounds to escape.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

With proper care on your part, your Mini-Classic will provide you with high- quality water for many trouble-free years.
The following recommendations are for typical water conditions. If you live in an area where the water quality is exceptionally poor, you may need to increase the frequency of our care.

Maintenance

Ever Batch:

• Swirl and rinse out the residual water from the boiling chamber (1).

Monthly or Every 30 gallons:

• Clean the inside of the boiling chamber (1) to remove any build-up of solid residues. (See Cleaning below).

Every 3 Months

• Replace the carbon filter, stock #45518. (See page 9).
• Clean the exterior with Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish, stock #6606.

Cleaning

• Cleaning the Exterior:
  Use Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (stock #6606) and follow instructions.

• Cleaning the boiling Chamber:
  Sometimes scale will build up inside the boiling chamber. This needs to be removed periodically to ensure good heating element life, and high-quality drinking water.
  Note: If you rinse the boiling chamber every time you fill it, you will rarely get build-up of scale inside the boiling chamber, and will rarely have to clean it.

To Cleaning The Boiling chamber

1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.

2. If the unit has been operating, allow it to cool for 30 minutes from the end of the distillation cycle.

3. Carefully remove the boiling chamber from the unit.
   Caution : The boiling chamber will get hot and could cause a burn if the unit has not been allowed to cool.

4. Remove the boiling chamber lid (4).

5. Drain any residual water inside the boiling chamber (1).

6. Fill the boiling chamber to the water level indicator (2).

7. Add Lumen™ Cleaner (stock #6603) to the boiling chamber. Follow the instructions on the label.
   Note: DO NOT replace the boiling chamber back into the unit during the cleaning process DO NOT allow the unit to operate with the Lumen Cleaner in the boiling chamber.

Replacing the Carbon Filter
A carbon filter (9) is used to finish or polish the water, and to improve the taste. The carbon filter should be replaced approximately every 3 months, or whenever the water develops a taste. The carbon filter is custom designed for the Pure Water Mini-Classic distiller.

To Replace The Carbon filter

1. Remove the drinking water container (10) from the unit.
2. Remove the old filter by sliding the filter housing (9) and filter (8) towards you or removing it from the opening in the drinking water container.
3. Immerse the new carbon filter (9) in a separate container filled with distilled water for one minute.
4. Remove the soaked filter and place it into the filter housing.
5. Slide the new filter and housing back into the guide or replace it into the opening of the drinking water container (9).
