WARNING:
This distillation system produces a highly flammable liquid.
PRECAUTION:
• Always operate the T500 Reflux Distillation System in a room with adequate ventilation.
• Do not use outdoors, as drafts aect distillation eciency.
• Never leave the T500 Reflux Distillation System unattended when operating.
• Keep the T500 Reflux Distillation System away from all sources of ignition, including smoking, sparks, heat and
open flames.
• Ensure all other equipment near the T500 Reflux Distillation System or the alcohol is earthed.
• Do not operate the T500 boiler with an extension cord.
• A fire extinguishing device suitable for alcohol should be kept nearby. This can be water fog, fine water spray, foam,
dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand or dolomite.
• Do not boil dry. In the event the unit is boiled dry, the T500 Boiler with dual element control switches (two switches)
has an automatic reset switch under the base of the boiler which will reset once the boiler has cooled down. The
T500 Boiler with a single element switch has a cut-out button under the base of the unit - when it is safe to do so,
press the reset button to reset the thermostat. In the very unlikely event this cutout fails on either boiler, a fusible link
gives added protection. This fuse will melt and cut the flow of power if the temperature exceeds a safe level.
It cannot be reset by the user and the boiler will require professional attention.
• Do not distil any liquid above 40% ABV as this could cause a vacuum and other potential safety issues.
• Do not submerge the distillate out tube as this could cause a vacuum, which may result in the boiler imploding.
IN CASE OF SPILLAGE:
• Shut o all possible sources of ignition.
• Clean up spills immediately using cloth, paper towels or other absorbent material such as soil, sand or other
inert material.
• Collect, seal, and dispose of accordingly.
• Mop area with excess water.
NOTE: Not following the safety information above could result in serious injuries and may
void your warranty.
POWER CONTROL:
T500 BOILER WITH DUAL POWER SWITCHES:
• This boiler model has adjustable power switches.
• When both switches are in the ON position the element will be supplied full power of 2200W (1600W if using a
US/CA unit).
• When one switch is set to the OFF position it will only consume 1100W (or 1100W/500W if using a US/CA unit)
of power.
• Adjusting the power can be useful in areas with warmer tap water for cooling and also for use with the Still Spirits
Alembic Pot Still.
