Key Features:

• Efficient Water Purification: 750-watt heating element produces up to 0.3 Gal/H (1 L/H), suitable for daily use and various applications.
• Upgraded Timing Function: Features a 0-99 hour timing range for precise distillation control, allowing for specific fermentation needs and reducing limescale buildup by leaving residual water.
• Dual-Temperature Display: Control panel shows both setting and actual temperatures (86°F/30°C to 226.4°F/108°C) with a °F/°C switch. Includes dry-burning protection with auto shut-off.
• Selected Materials & Fast Heat Dissipation: All water-contacting parts are food-grade 304 stainless steel. The 1.03 Gal (3.9 L) borosilicate glass carafe is durable and stores water effectively. Features a 4-blade aluminum fan and SUS 304 condensing coil for rapid cooling.
• User-Friendly Accessories: Comes with a bottle of citric acid cleaning powder and 3 replaceable carbon packages for post-distillation purification and easy maintenance.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your VEVOR Water Distiller.

Distillation Process:

1. Fill the Distiller: Remove the top cover of the distiller. Fill the stainless steel inner tank with tap water up to the indicated maximum water line. Do not overfill.
2. Replace Cover: Securely place the top cover back onto the distiller unit. Ensure it is properly seated.
3. Set Temperature and Time: Use the control panel to set your desired distillation temperature and time. The default settings (105°C and 3 hours 30 minutes) are suitable for most water distillation needs. You can adjust these using the '+' and '-' buttons. The unit features a dual display showing both real-time and set temperatures.
4. Start Distillation: Press the 'Start' button to begin the distillation process. The heating element will activate, and the fan will begin to cool the condensing coil.
5. Monitor Progress: The distilled water will begin to drip into the glass carafe. Monitor the process via the dual-temperature display.
6. Completion: The unit will automatically shut off once the set time has elapsed or if the temperature exceeds safety limits (dry-burning protection).
7. Cool Down: Allow the unit to cool down completely before handling or cleaning.

Important Notes:

• For optimal results and to minimize limescale, it is suggested to set the distilling period to approximately 3.5 hours for 1.1 gallons (4 liters) of water, ensuring some water remains at the bottom.
• The intelligent control system includes an auto turn-off feature if the temperature exceeds 226.4°F (108°C) and a complete shut-down at 302°F (150°C) for safety.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your water distiller.

Cleaning the Distiller:

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the distiller from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Empty Residual Water: Pour out any remaining water from the stainless steel inner tank.
3. Remove Limescale: For limescale buildup, sprinkle the provided citric acid powder (or a similar descaling agent) onto the residue at the bottom of the tank. Add enough warm water to cover the affected area.
4. Soak and Scrub: Let it soak for at least 5-10 minutes, or longer for heavy buildup. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub away the loosened limescale. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the stainless steel.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the inner tank multiple times with clean water until all residue and cleaning solution are removed.
6. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the distiller with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.

Carbon Filter Replacement:

• The distiller comes with 3 carbon packages for post-distillation filtration.
• Replace the carbon filter package at the water outlet as needed, typically after several distillation cycles, to maintain optimal water taste and purity.
