4. Filling the Water Reservoirs
Normal operation of the STATCLAVE requires a minimum amount of distilled water in BOTH the clean
water reservoir and Venturi reservoir.
To fill the Venturi reservoir:
1.
Open the Venturi reservoir lid located on the
top left of the unit.
2.
Fill it with distilled water to the maximum fill
line indicated in the reservoir.
Setting the water reservoir filling mode
Your STATCLAVE’s default filling option is MANUAL. If you are manually filling the reservoir, you do not
need to change the unit’s fill option settings.
If you are connecting your STATCLAVE to an external filling device such as a Vista Pure water
purification system or external water tank and auxiliary pump, make sure your unit is set to the
AUTOMATIC filling mode.
To change this setting from the home screen, select

When filling the Venturi reservoir for the first
time,
you will need to add an additional 0.5 US
gal / 2 L of water. This will fill the steam cooling
system’s condenser. To do this, simply fill the
Venturi reservoir to the maximum fill line and wait
as the Venturi reservoir water fills the condenser,
then top up the Venturi reservoir to the maximum
fill line again.
