3.3 Connecting the Waste Bottle
The waste bottle

is used to collect the wastewater after it has been converted
to steam and then drained from the cassette. To connect the waste bottle to the
Statim, follow these steps (see figure 4):
1. Insert the exhaust

tube into the fitting

on
the back of the unit and connect tightly.
2. Cut the tube to length and slide the waste
bottle fitting

into place.
3. Place the free end of the tube into the hole
in the lid of the waste bottle and hand-tighten
the fitting. Do not coil the exhaust tube.
4. Unscrew the lid and copper condenser coil

assembly from the waste bottle. The lid and
coil should come out together.
5. Fill the waste bottle with water to the MIN line
and replace the lid and copper condenser
assembly. Empty the waste bottle often to
avoid unpleasant odors and discoloration
of the contents. (A low-level disinfectant,
prepared according to the manufacturer’s
instructions, may be added to the waste bottle
to remedy this situation). As a minimum,
empty the waste bottle each time you refill the
reservoir.
6. Place the waste bottle near the unit. Store
the bottle below the unit. The tube can be
routed through a hole, (8 mm in diameter) in
the counter-top and secured with the provided
nylon clamps.
3.4 Filling the Statim Reservoir
When filling the reservoir, ensure you only use steam processed distilled water containing
less than 5 ppm total dissolved solids (having conductivity of less than 10 µS / cm). The
impurities and additives in other water sources will cause an error reading on the LCD. If you
have a water conductivity meter (available from SciCan, order number 01-103139S) check
each new water container before filling the reservoir. To fill the reservoir, follow these steps
(see figure 5):
