5.6 Maintaining Fluid Levels

Unless you are using the SciCan Water Filter (SCWF1 Water Filter Cartridge), that allows the
use of tap water, you should only use steam-process distilled water containing less than 5
ppm total dissolved solids (having conductivity of less than 10 μS / cm) in the Statim. Each
time you refill the reservoir, empty the waste bottle. 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). The condenser bottle should be cleaned and refilled to the MAX line on
a weekly basis.

regularly to ensure clean water is entering the internal components of

tone reminds you to order or replace the filter. This message will appear
for approximately two seconds and then disappear, and then the chosen
cycle will start. This message will continue to appear every time a cycle
is chosen until the water filter is replaced with a new filter. If the filter is
not replaced and has been 100% used, the unit will not operate until a
new filter is installed.The water filter has a shelf life and should be used
prior to the expiry date inscribed on each filter.
When installed, the water filter has a maximum life of 6 .0 days, depending

or exhaustion of the filter.
