Putting into operation
4.1
Setup location
The distillation unit must be installed on a stable, clean and
flat base.
For reasons of safety, a gap of at least 30 cm must be left
open between the back of the machine and the wall or
other objects. Never place any containers, chemical
products or other equipment behind the distillation unit.
4.2
Unpacking
The original package must be kept for possible later
transport.
If the package has been damaged, check the machine
carefully for broken glass or damage to the housing.
Make certain that the socket voltage is the same as that
shown on the machine nameplate. Always connect the
machine to an earthed (grounded) socket. This avoids risks
due to an internal defect.
4.3
Water supply
The distillation unit K-314 is delivered with 3 Nyflex high-
pressure hoses intended for the following connections:
•
cooling water inlet
•
H

Cooling water inlet (1):
Shorten the Nyflex hose to the optimum length, connect it
to the water connector, and secure it with a hose clamp.
Connect the other end of the hose to the cooling water
inlet nipple.
Cooling water outlet (2):
Shorten the silicone hose [9/6 mm] to the optimum length
and connect it to the cooling water oulet nipple (OUT
nipple). Direct the open end into the drain.
Check
The cooling water must flow through the cooling unit from
the bottom to the top.
Make sure that the hose drains freely. No kinks! No airtraps
in the hose!
