CARE FOR THE SOURCE:
It is very important to rememer the Source is an advanced piece of
technology and requires a certain degree of care to keep it in top
operating condition.
Glass Globe: The glass globe will chip or crack if dropped or with a collision with
another object. If the glass suffers any damage the ability for a vacuum to form may
become impossible. If this happens replacement globes are available for purchase.
Crucible Cup: The Crucible must never be tightened down onto the heating post.
Lightly turn the cup onto the threaded heating post until it meets resistance and
stop turning.
Vacuum Relief Screw: NEVER REMOVE the screw all the way. To release the
vacuum turn only 4 full turns to the left and wait for the pressure to equalize.
Removing the screw can result in cross threading and will make creating a
vacuum impossible. If this happens send the unit back to ExtractCraft for repairs,
but it's not covered under the manufacture defects warranty.
Green Button: Keep green button clean and clear of any debris or sticky
elements. If the button becomes stuck, you can use a small amount of alcohol on
a cotton swap then let dry over night. If free movement is not restored, send back
to ExtractCraft for repairs.
