23. Turn the fan switch to DISTILL.
24. Allow distiller to operate and fill up the storage tank. Distiller will shut of automatically. This
will take approximately 12 hours.
25. Open the faucet and allow to run for 2-3 minutes to flush out the system. DO NOT
CONSUME. Close the faucet. The pump should shut off and the machine will start-up.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The Pure Water A-12 is designed for low maintenance performance. The A-12 has a built-in drain
valve that flushes the contaminants and residue out of the boiling tank after each full tank of
distilled water is produced. This minimizes the build-up of scale in the boiling tank.
A. OVERALL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The following guide should be used for the maintenance of your distiller. The timing will vary
according to your local water conditions. It is your responsibility to maintain your equipment.
Without proper maintenance, your A-12 may not produce optimum results. The following times
may be far too long for your particular area, so for the first several times, please keep track of the
average time and adjust the schedule below:
Every month or every 30 gallons*: Clean the boiling tank (see page 13).
Every 3 months: 1) Change the post filter (see page 13).
2) Sterilize (see page 9).
3) Clean the exterior.
* More frequent if feed water is hard.
Cleaning the interior: We recommend the boiling tank be cleaned at least once a month (see page
™
13). Use Lumen cleaner (Stock# 6603) and follow the directions provided.
Failure to clean the interior can result in:
1) Contaminant build-up (scale) causing premature failure of the heating element or drain
valve.
2) Reduced purity of the purified water due to 'splash over' of contaminants from the boiling
tank.
