Aqua Stim Water Irrigator Instructions for Use - US

2.5 Installation

The Aqua Stim consumes 600 watts from a standard AC wall outlet. Do not connect other high current
devices into the same outlet as it may exceed the current limits of the AC outlet and trip a mains circuit
breaker. Contact your local electrician if you have questions about the capabilities of your building circuits.
The Aqua Stim is ventilated by a fan at the back of the device. Do not place the Aqua Stim near a radiator or
other heating source. Provide at least 10 cm (4 in) of free space behind the unit to provide adequate
circulation.

2.6 Irrigator Connectors

The Aqua Stim is shipped from Interacoustics without any water in the tank. Please fill the external tank with
a gallon of good quality water (preferably distilled or demineralized) that is not considered "hard water" due
to high mineral content. Do not fill above the 3½ L mark. Connect the color coded Inlet (white) / Outlet
(grey) tubes between irrigator and the external water tank. Push the tubes into the connectors until you feel
them "snap" in. To remove the tubes you will need to push on the small ring next to the tube using two finger
tips while pulling gently on the tube. Connect the red and blue tubes from the handle to the back of the
irrigator. Verify that the arrow [→] on the red tube's water filter is pointing away from the irrigator. The
electrical connector from the handle plugs into the back of the irrigator. Note that the electrical connector is
keyed for orientation. Rotate the connector between your fingers while gently pressing in on the connector
until it seats and makes connection. A ground lug is provided on the rear panel for hospital grade wiring.
Lastly, plug in the appropriate 120 VAC or 240 VAC power cable into the AC power cord connector.

2.7 Draining Water from the Tank

The external water tank should be placed on the same table as the irrigator or up to 24 inches (60 cm) below
the irrigator. For the first operation, turn on the irrigator using the power switch on the back of the irrigator at
the power entry. Once the irrigator has power and the front panel display shows Select Cool/Warm, press
the "Cool" button on the front panel. The irrigator will draw water from the external water tank and fill the
internal heater tank. You will hear a change in pitch of the irrigation pump as it self-primes. Some water will
flow from the irrigator back into the external tank from the overflow tube. Read the front panel display to
confirm the current water temperature is being displayed and that the irrigator is heating to a preset 30ºC
temperature. If you do not plan to perform irrigations right away you can return the irrigator to standby mode
(Select Cool/Warm) by pressing the "Cool" button again.
The Aqua Stim uses two filters to catch any contaminants in the water. A pickup filter is attached to the end
of the inlet tube in the external tank. An inline filter is placed within the handle's red tube. Inspect these
filters periodically to make sure they are not blocked. If you have any questions, contact our service
department.
Do not plug in the handle electrical connector when the irrigator is powered on. If
the handle does not operate, power down the irrigator and check the handle
electrical cable is plugged in securely into the back of the irrigator.
