If dual, heavy duty carbon
and sediment filter is not used, install the post carbon filter
cup by following the instructions provided directly below.
Installing
Post Carbon Filter Cup
Your
West Bend Water Systems distiller uses a granular activated carbon
(GAC) filter as a final polishing agent to ensure clean, fresh tasting
drinking water. If you are using one of our
heavy duty carbon and sediment PREFILTERS on the distiller feed
water line, you can discard this carbon post filter. Otherwise:
l)
Prepare the filter cup following the instructions included with
the filter cup.
2)
Place filter cup into the supporting bracket in the corner of the
reservoir.
3)
Replace the post carbon filter cup every two months with a new one.
Do not attempt to reuse the old filter.
Mounting
Distiller To Reservoir
Simply
set the distiller on top of the reservoir tank. Your distiller has
been engineered to provide a secure fit. When mounting the distiller
to the reservoir tank, make sure that the water outlet tube, located
underneath the distiller base, is directly above the post carbon
fiker cup. This will allow distilled water to flow through the filter
cup as it enters the reservoir tank.
Note: if carbon post
filter is not used, you can bend the carbon filter holding frame
down towards the bottom of the storage tank to allow more clearance
between the distiller float and the storage tank fittings.
Installing
Boiling Chamber
Your
distiller has been shipped with the boiling chamber already in place.
If it has been disturbed during shipping follow these simple steps
to reinstall the boiling chamber.
1)
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, be certain distiller
is unplugged.
2)
Place the hook of the boiling chamber over the bracket located in
the front half of the distiller.
3)
Be sure the gasket on the boiling chamber is securely in place.
4)
Fit the lid with the attached tubes over the gasket and onto the
boiling chamber making sure that the threaded center support protrudes
through the hole in the lid. Ensure that the tubes are centered
in the distiller openings.
5)
Secure the lid by turning the cover knob clockwise.
6)
Make sure that the boiling chamber moves freely up and down by pressing
down on the top of the boiling chamber. The boiling chamber should
lift when it is released. If the boiling chamber does not move freely,
recheck all connections.
7)
Fully insert the boiling chamber power cord into the receptacle.
A loose connection may damage the power cord.
Water
Supply Connection
The
following instructions are for installation on copper tubing. If
you have iron, steel, brass, PVC or other pipe providing the cold
water supply in your home, consult a qualified professional for
installation.
All
state, provincial and local laws and regulations must be followed
in the installation and use of your distiller.
It
is advisable to first connect the pre filter(if used instead of
our heavy duty carbon and
sediment pre filter) to the distiller, then finish the connection
to the saddle valve.
Your
distiller should be installed on a level surface in a well ventilated
area near a water supply line and a standard household grounded
electrical outlet.
Do
not connect to a water supply that is under 20 lb or over 80 lb
pressure and under 32degF/OdegC or over 160degF/72degC temperature.
You
will need an adjustable wrench and a flathead screwdriver to hook
up the distiller to the water supply.
Do
not install distiller closer than four (4) inches to nearest vertical
surface.
Installing
The Pre filter(if used instead of heavy
duty carbon and sediment pre filter)
A
length of food-grade tubing and the required fittings have been
packed with your distiller.
1)
Cut a short piece approximately 12" long from the supplied
roll of tubing. Insert one end of the piece into the smaller hole
in the nylon elbow and tighten.
2)
Take the other end of the elbow and turning clockwise, attach to
the inlet valve at the rear of the distiller.
3)
Insert the other end of tubing as far as possible into the quick
disconnect at the outlet end of the pre filter Make sure that the
arrow on the pre filter is pointing in the direction of the water
flow. It should not be possible to remove the tubing unless the
grey release collar is pushed into the quick disconnect.
4)
Attach the remaining piece of plastic tubing to the quick disconnect
at the inlet end of the pre filter
5)
To change the pre filter periodically, turn off the water supply
at saddle valve and disengage tubing from the quick disconnects
and repeat steps 3 and 4 to install the new pre filter Note: The
quick disconnects must be removed from the old pre filter and added
to the new one using new Teflon tape.
6)
Screw 'C' clip onto the distiller and insert pre filter into clip.
7)
There is no need to disassemble the nylon inlet elbow to change
the pre filter Periodically, however, the inlet elbow should be
removed and the small cone shaped screen at the mouth of the inlet
valve should be cleaned or replaced (see cleaning instructions HERE).
Installing
Saddle Valve Connection
1)
Locate the other end of the long tube and slip on the brass compression
nut, threaded toward the cut end of the tube.
2)
Slip on the nylon ferrule, narrow end toward the cut end of the
tube. The nylon ferrule should be about 1/4 inch down the tube.
Discard the brass ferrule which is not needed for use with plastic
tubing.
3)
The tubing provided is thick-walled and will provide you with trouble-free
service for many years. Insert the brass tubing into the tube to
prevent possible collapse of the tube.
4)
Locate the cold water supply line near the place you are installing
your distiller. NOTE: Be sure the length of food-grade tubing will
reach from your supply line to the distiller location before proceeding.
If additional tubing is needed, contact your distributor.
5)
Turn the wing on the saddle valve counter-clockwise to insure the
lance is fully retracted.
6)
Position the saddle valve assembly to straddle the copper pipe of
the supply line. Tighten securely, making sure the rubber gasket
is in place and slightly compressed to form a good seal between
the valve bracket and the copper pipe.
7)
Insert the cut end of the food-grade plastic tube into the saddle
valve opening and securely tighten the compression nut, turning
clockwise. Note: If you have used the brass tubing reinforcer, be
certain it is securely in the tube and does not slip into saddle
valve assembly.
8)
When all connections are secure, turn the wing on the saddle valve
clockwise as far as it will go. The saddle valve is now in the closed
position. To begin the flow of water to the distiller, turn the
wing counterclockwise. Note: In areas where saddle valves are not
permitted by law, your distributor can provide you with alternative
installation fittings.
DISTILLER
OPERATION
The
operation of your distiller has been optimized for ease of use.
The water level in the boiling chamber is controlled automatically.
When connected to the cold water supply line, the water will automatically
feed into the boiling chamber, and shut off when the proper water
level is achieved. The condensing fan and the heating element of
the boiling chamber are also controlled automatically, resulting
in worry-free operation.
When
the reservoir tank reaches its full level, a float switch will shut
off the unit. When water is drawn from the reservoir, the unit will
restart automatically, assuring you of a continuous supply of clean
distilled water.
It
is suggested that you steam clean your distiller prior to using
it for the first time following the easy directions below. This
is a disinfecting
procedure.
1)
Remove the disposable post carbon filter unit(if used).
2)
Be certain that the FAN switch is in the OFF position, then turn
ON the switch for the POWER only. You should hear the water begin
to fill the boiling chamber.
3)
When sufficient water fills the boiling chamber, the heating element
will turn on automatically. After 15 minutes you should notice steam
beginning to appear in the sight gauge.
4)
Continue steaming the unit for approximately 20-30 minutes.
5)
Turn OFF the POWER switch and allow the unit to cool completely.
6)
When the unit is completely cooled, replace the disposable post
carbon filter cup.
7)
Check all components, then turn on both the POWER and FAN switches.
You are now producing pure, distilled water.
