PREPARE THE CARBON FILTER
To prepare the carbon filter, place it in boiling water for five minutes. Drain
excess water from filter. (See page 11.) The same cleaning process should be used
whenever a new replacement filter is installed. The boiling process will remove
any carbon dust that formed as a result of shipping. It will also remove any air
bubbles present in the carbon. Failure to complete this step may result in water
not flowing through the filter cup.
NOTE: The filter cup should be replaced every two months or whenever an
undesirable taste is detected in the distilled water.
RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY — AR18
1) Position reservoir so that it sits open side down. Install black adhesive-backed
feet to bottom corners of reservoir. Turn reservoir so that it sits open side up.
2) Decide if you wish to mount the sight gauge faucet on either the wide or the
narrow face of the reservoir. Install the sight gauge faucet by placing one rubber
washer onto the threaded end of the faucet and inserting the faucet through
the mounting hole in the reservoir. From inside the reservoir securely tighten in
place using the black plastic jam nut. Do not over-tighten jam nuts. Inspect to
make sure that the sight gauge is straight.
3) Install the reservoir plug by putting a rubber washer over the threaded end
of the plug and inserting it into the remaining hole in the reservoir. From
inside the reservoir, tighten into place using a black plastic jam nut. Do not
over-tighten jam nuts.
4) Install the prepared post carbon filter cup by following the instructions on
page 11.
