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 push
firmly.
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

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 chlorine-free
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. We recommend that you keep it in a cabinet
below the unit. The tube can be routed through a hole, (8 mm / 0.3" in diameter) in
the counter-top and secured with the nylon clamps supplied.
3.4 Filling the Statim Reservoir
When filling the reservoir, ensure you only use steam processed distilled water
containing less than 5ppm 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):
