Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance

1. The distiller needs to be cleaned inside its pot, condenser, and other components before or after each use. Drain all impurities. Clean the distilled water dispenser periodically. Pay attention to cleaning the inner wall of the evaporation pot, the inner wall of the condenser, the surface of the condenser tube, and any scale in the outlet pipe of the condenser to avoid affecting its use.
2. Before starting the machine, check if the power supply voltage is consistent with the machine's voltage. Ensure the socket contact meets safety standards, and that the leakage protection switch and ground wire are installed and meet electricity requirements.
3. The bottom of the product contains electrical parts. Do not place the instrument in water or places with excessive humidity when in use.
4. During use, observe the liquid level. If it continues to drop, turn off the power and check if the return water is unblocked. If water is cut off or the level is lower than the heating tube, it can cause the heating tube to explode and leak electricity, posing a serious danger. If the liquid level continues to rise and boil, turn off the power and water source. This may indicate the heating tube is burnt out, and professional maintenance should be notified.
5. For newly purchased stills, clean them first and then apply power for more than 2 hours to evaporate until the obtained distilled water meets requirements.
6. Remember not to cut off the water during use.
7. When the Electrothermal still is working, its surface temperature will be very high; be careful not to touch it to prevent burns. Wait for the temperature to drop to normal before washing.
8. When the plug or wire is wet, or your hands are wet, do not touch the plug or wire to avoid electric shock.
9. Cleaning agents are not allowed during cleaning to prevent accidental ingestion of residues.
10. To avoid affecting normal operation, it is recommended not to exceed 70% of the rated volume during distillation.

The Important Functions of Exhaust Gas Path

1. The exhaust gas channel discharges graded impurities and improves wine quality. For example, methanol, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and ethyl formate have lower boiling points than ethanol and are difficult to liquefy, so they are discharged with the exhaust gas, preventing them from entering the finished wine.
2. The exhaust gas path helps load the wine anaerobically to reach a better quality of wine. The lid is sealed with a small vent reserved.

Diagram Description: Two diagrams illustrating the condensing process. One shows 'Condensing coilers' and a 'lid sealed with a small vent reserved'. The other depicts a 'Perfecter condensing effect'.

Pipe Connection Diagram for Tap Water

If tap water is used for direct cooling, the water flow can be controlled. The liquor production temperature can be controlled by water flow to ensure it is close to the cooling water temperature.

Diagram Description: Illustration showing the distiller connected to a tap water source via a pipe for cooling. A valve is visible on the water inlet pipe.

Pipe Connection Diagram for Circulating Water via a Water Pump

When using circulating water, if the water temperature exceeds 35°C, it is recommended to change the water. The maximum temperature cannot exceed 40°C, as the production fluid temperature is determined by the input cooling water temperature.

Diagram Description: Illustration showing the distiller connected to a water pump for circulating cooling water. Two pipes are shown: one drawing water from a container labeled 'Water' and the other returning water to it.

How to Use

Distill Liquor

1. Choose good common rice for steaming, add the steamed rice in the ratio of 500g grain, 1kg water and 5g distilled yeast, mix well and then carry out liquid fermentation.
2. Fermentation temperature of 20-25°C, stirring once a day, fermentation 10-20 days.
3. Fill the fermented grain into the matching filter bag and pour the liquid produced during the fermentation process directly into the barrel. Then place the bag containing the grain directly on the grate (to prevent gumming up the pot). After installation, the distillation starts; the pre-prepared submersible pump is connected to the power supply for cooling water circulation when there is heat at the outlet.

Distill Hydrolat

1. Choose the petals or other plants you like.
2. Soak the petals in pure water for 3-5 cm for 8 hours (only for dried petals).
3. Take out the petals and place them in a matching strainer bag. Then, place the filter bag with the petals on the grate, pour the soaked water into the bucket, install it, and start distilling.

Distill Brandy

1. Crush grapes and add ingredients such as pectinase, yeast, fermentation promoter, and tannin in proper order.
2. Add white sugar on the next day of fermentation, and generally separate peels and residues after fermentation for 7-10 days.
3. Add bentonite into the separated wine for ageing and clarification.
4. Put the separated peel and residue into a filter bag, place the bag on the grate, and add water at the bottom of the barrel. The distilled spirit is brandy.

Ferment Wine

1. Crush grapes and add sulfur regulating tablets to prevent microbial contamination.
2. Add pectinase to decompose pectin and increase juice yield.
3. Add yeast, ferment for 7-10 days, and increase juice yield.
4. Add bentonite for clarification after filtration, brew for about 1 month, and put the wine in a bottle.
