3. [ASSEMBLE THE TURBO 500 CONDENSER]

Your water tubing is identified by a thick tube and a

thin tube.
• Connect the long, thick, clear tube to the block

outlet

. This will flow into your sink.

• Connect the short thin, clear tube to make the top

loop connection

• Connect the thin clear tube on the water inlet

to your tap. This will flow from your tap (via the

adaptor) into the condenser.

• Connect the white tube on the spirit outlet

The distilled alcohol will flow from here to your

collecting jug.

[ADD THE THERMOMETER]

• Place the battery in the thermometer.

• A switch on the back allows you to turn the

thermometer on and off. A second switch allows you

to set the thermometer to Celsius or Fahrenheit.

• Mount the thermometer in the mounting bracket

provided. Clip the panel onto the condenser near

the bottom.

• Fit the stainless steel sensor probe into the hole

• Use a wire tie to tidy up any loose wiring.

5. [BOILER]

Fit the Turbo 500 Condenser onto the Turbo 500 Boiler.

• Check the Turbo 500 Condenser is full of saddles

inside. If the column is empty, you will need to

add copper saddles first, followed by the stainless

steel saddles packed in the column, then follow the

next step.

Note: You may have a handful of saddles
left, which cannot fit in the condenser, this
is normal.

• Holding the condenser upside down, unscrew the

nut at the base of the condenser; leave the black

O ring in the base of the column.

• Place the Turbo 500 Boiler lid over the column and

screw the nut back in the column. Tighten firmly,

so that the lid doesn’t spin anymore.

• Place the lid and condenser on the Turbo 500 Boiler,

in position where you can see the thermometer.

• Secure lid onto the Turbo 500 Boiler base with

the clips.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the Turbo 500
Condenser is standing straight, or it will
not operate properly during distillation.
