USING EtOH PRO: PURGE MODE
Purge mode is used for post processing of concentrates to further purge residual ethanol content
to your desired end product requirements. This is not necessary for all forms of
extracts and concentrates. Very good concentrates can be made without post-process purging,
but to a achieve a higher degree of stability and lower residual ethanol more expediently it can be
a very useful tool.
IMPORTANT: If placed directly in the kettle, oils and concentrates will become very difficult to
collect from the surface of the kettle after being processed in purge mode. As a result, if using
purge mode, the user must place the oil/concentrate in a heat safe container or on a platinum
cured silicone mat in the kettle before using purge mode.
ExtractCraft makes no recommendations, representations or warranties regarding which specific containers
or mats are appropriate for use for this purpose. User assumes all responsibility for choosing and using a
container or mat and for following all safety instructions for the container or mat chosen for such a purpose.
PURGE MODE CONTROL
Purge mode is controlled by the second half of the arc controlled by the dial and depicted in
green. The arc represents a temperature range of approximately 80°F-120°F.
Using Purge Mode as a Hot Plate (heat only, no vacuum)
1) Put kettle in place, securely plugged into base.
2) Insert the oil/concentrate into the kettle in an appropriate container or on an appropriate silicone mat (not
included).
3) Use the dial to set the desired temperature input on the green arc.
4) Push the green illuminated button one time to begin heat delivery.
5) The unit will continue to deliver heat to the base of the kettle with no vaccuum until manually turned off by
pushing the start/stop or turning off the power to the machine.
Using Purge Mode as a Vacuum Oven (auxillary lid and pump required)
1) Put kettle in place, securely plugged into base.
2) Insert the oil/concentrate into the kettle in an appropriate container or on an appropriate silicone mat (not
included).
3) Use the dial to set the desired temperature input on the green arc.
4) Push the green illuminated button one time to begin heat delivery to the base of the kettle.
5) Place aux vacuum lid on kettle.
6) Attach aux pump directly to aux vacuum lid and pull desired vacuum level for purging.
7) Confirm with the care and safety requirements for the chosen aux pump to determine if a cold trap is
necessary.
