Before commissioning
Cleaning the distilling chamber
Although the distilling chamber of the MELA
dest
65 has been cleaned with the greatest of care,
manufacturing, packaging and dispatch procedures could result in the presence of harmless residues of
various substances. As a result, the distilled water produced during initial commissioning could assume an
undesired odour. To eliminate all odour-generating factors, proceed as follows:
1.
Setup the water distiller.
2.
Remove the connection cable from the distilling chamber.
3.
Remove the upper section of the water distilling chamber and fill with c. 0.5 L tap water.
4.
Return the upper section to the distilling chamber and connect the connection cable to the
bushing on the side wall of the chamber.
5.
Replace the glass flask laterally rotated without the adapter cover under the distilling chamber
discharge opening and plug the plug into the socket.
6.
Press the START/RESET button to activate the water distiller.
The ventilator motor begins to run.
The water distiller deactivates automatically after the water has boiled (no steam egress from the
upper section discharge opening.
7.
Remove the mains plug and empty the glass flask.
The distilling chamber is now flushed and ready for commissioning.
Checking the cover seal in the upper section of the distilling chamber
Before initial commissioning and every further use of the device, check the correct position of the cover
seal in the upper section of the distilling chamber.
The seal may not present any uneven surfaces and must lay entirely flat so that it maintains the seal.
Otherwise, boiling water could leave the upper section and e.g. flow onto the work surface.
If the seal does not lay flat, press with the hand. Do not use any sharp objects.
