USE AND CARE OF THE DRINKING
WATER CONTAINER
To ensure proper performance and a lifetime of trouble-free
service, please read the following information on general use
and care of the drinking water container:
• Do not use on stove-top burner, under heating elements,
in microwave or conventional ovens.
• Do not store hot liquids nor food in drinking water
container.
• Dishwasher-safe Lid: Top rack only.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Pure Water Mini Classic CT must be plugged directly
into a fully grounded outlet. The Pure Water Mini Classic CT
will use approximately 8 amps when operating, so isolate a
10 amp fuse or circuit breaker for the unit. This unit operates
on 110V, 60 cycles, or as otherwise specied on the back of
the distiller.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Make sure the lid is removed from the glass jug before inserting
into holding area, and before unit is turned on.
• Operate indoors only and allow at least 3 inches of clearance
around unit when in operation.
• Always unplug the power before assembling, repairing or doing
any work on the distiller.
• NEVER immerse the distiller in water or any other liquid.
• NEVER operate the distiller with a damaged cord or allow the
cord to become exposed to hot surfaces.
• NEVER let children play with the distiller.
• Make sure your electrical outlet is properly grounded. If in doubt,
contact a qualied electrician.
• NEVER remove the boiling chamber from the unit until it has
cooled down.
• The physiological effect of the operation of this appliance,
benecial or otherwise has not been investigated by UL.
• Do NOT use with an extension cord.
A distiller operates the same way. Water
is placed into a boiling chamber
where heat is applied. The
water boils and water
molecules (steam)
evaporate (1). The
steam enters the
condenser where cool air
causes the steam to
condense (2) it precipitates
(3) as droplets of pure water.
This water is collected and is
fresh, great-tasting, distilled
drinking water - the purest kind.

HOW DISTILLATION AND YOUR
WATER PURIFIER WORK
Nature has a way to produce pure water from contaminat-
ed sea water. When the sun rises in the morning, it starts to
heat the surface of the ocean. The heat causes molecules
or pure water to evaporate (1) from the surface of the ocean
and rise to condense (2) in the form of clouds . When the
conditions are right, the clouds cannot hold any moisture
and water precipitates (3) and falls to earth as rain. The rain
collects in rivers, lakes and reservoirs and is available for
drinking.

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR
MINI CLASSIC CT
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
Boiling Chamber (1). The manually-lled stainless
steel boiling chamber holds approximately one
gallon of water when lled to the proper level.
Water Level Indicator (2). A small rod which extends
down into the boiling chamber. The boiling chamber
should be lled to touch the bottom of this indicator.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL.
Heating Element (3). The 750-watt heating element
provides the heat to boil the water in the boiling
chamber.
Lid (4). The lid is constructed of heavy-gauge
stainless steel and has a special gasket and handle
which tightens to seal, when turned.
Door (5). The stainless steel door improves the
look of the unit and serves an important safety role.
DO NOT open the door until the unit has stopped
distilling for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Condenser (6). A hollow, nned stainless steel
tube where the steam from the boiling chamber is
collected and cooled by the air from the fan. The
steam is converted into high-purity drinking water.
At the top portion of the condensing coil there are
two small holes. These are two gas vents to allow
volatile compounds to escape.
Fan (7). An electrical fan which works automatical-
ly to provide a ow of air across the outside of the
condenser.
Filter (8). Before the distilled water ows into the
drinking water container, it passes through an ac-
tivated carbon lter pack to polish the taste of the
water.
Filter Housing (9). A stainless steel housing de-
signed to slide into the guides in the distiller and
holds the carbon lter pack.
Drinking Water Container (10). This glass contain-
er collects the distilled water. It is equipped with a
pour-through lid for ease of use.
Main Power Switch (11). Turns the unit on or off.
Cycle Start Switch (12). Pressing this swich will
start the 210 minute distillation cycle.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
With proper care on your part, your Mini Classic CT will provide
you with high-quality water for many trouble-free years.
The following recommendations are for typical water conditions.
If you live in an area where the water quality is exceptionally
poor, you may need to increase the frequency of our care.
Maintenance
Every Batch:
• Before each batch, swirl the residual water from the
previous cycle, and rinse out the boiling chamber (1).
Monthly, or every 30 gallons:
• Clean the inside of the boiling chamber (1) to remove
any buildup of solid residues. (See Cleaning below).
Every 3 months:
• Replace the carbon lter, stock #45518. (See page
11).
• Clean the exterior with Stainless Steel Cleaner &
Polish, stock #6606.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Exterior:
Use Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (stock #6606) and
follow instructions.
Cleaning the Boiling Chamber:
Sometimes scale will build up inside the boiling chamber.
This needs to be removed periodically to ensure good
heating element life, and high-quality drinking water.
Note: If you rinse the boiling chamber every time you ll
it, you will rarely get buildup of scale inside the boiling
chamber, and will rarely have to clean it.
Note: If you live in a “soft water area,” or you have a
water softener, your unit may never require de-scaling.
