7. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Washing of Distiller
Scale builds up on distiller (boiler, condenser, and heater) by distillation. Scale will accumulate as the
duration of use becomes longer, which may cause drop in water quality or interruption of heater. Clean
condenser regularly with the included scale cleaner.
Cleaning condenser requires tools such as a Philips screwdriver and plier, and these tools should be
prepared separately.
Precautions in cleaning condenser
Read carefully before cleaning condenser.
Turn OFF (
○
) ELB.
Turn OFF (
○
) ELB before cleaning condenser.
Electric shock may result.
Always carry out cleaning after condenser is sufficiently cooled.
Condenser becomes very hot after distillation. Leave unit at least 30 minutes after turning ELB
OFF (
○
).
It may cause burn injury or damage to condenser.
Use protective equipment.
Always wear protective equipment (gloves, mask, and glasses) when cleaning condenser.
Direct contact with bare hands may cause damage to condenser. If the cleaner comes in
contact with any part of human body, wash thoroughly with clean water.
Handling of condenser.
・
Be careful not to allow condenser to contact other components when removing boiler.
・
Always place condenser onto level surface and avoid location that condenser can fall.
Since condenser is made of a fragile material (boiler/condenser: hard glass, heater: ceramic),
it may break on impact of contact or falling.
・
Be sure to install the gasket and hose band at the condenser joint. Water leakage may result.
Handling of heaters
・
Do not touch new heater with bare hands. Doing so may cause damage to heater.
・
Do not forcibly bend the heater lead wire in an improper direction. The lead wire may break.
・
Ensure that the screw is not loosened after fastening the lead wire to the terminal block.
Electric shock may result.
