3. [ASSEMBLE THE T500 REFLUX CONDENSER]
Your water tubing is identified by a thick tube and a
thin tube.
• Connect the long, thick, clear tube to the water
outlet block
C
. This will flow into your sink.
• Connect the short thin, clear tube to make the top
loop connection
E
.
• Connect the thin clear tube on the water inlet
B
,
to your tap. This will flow from your tap (via the
adaptor) into the condenser.
• Connect the white tube on the distillate outlet
D
.
The distilled alcohol will flow from here to your
collecting jug. Ensure the tube will not be
submerged in distillate, otherwise the
boiler may implode. You should see the drops of
distillate falling into your collecting vessel.
4. [ADD THE THERMOMETER]
• Place the battery in the thermometer.
• A switch on the back allows you to turn the
thermometer on and off. A second switch
allows you to set the thermometer to Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
• Mount the thermometer in the mounting bracket
provided. Clip the panel onto the condenser near
the bottom.
• Fit the stainless steel sensor probe into the hole
A
.
• Use a wire tie to tidy up any loose wiring.
5. [BOILER]
Fit the T500 Reflux Condenser onto the T500 Boiler.
• Check the T500 Reflux Condenser is full of
saddles inside. If the column is empty, you
will need to add copper saddles first, followed by
the stainless steel saddles packed in the column,
then follow the next step.
Note: You may have a handful of saddles left,
which cannot fit in the condenser, this is normal.
• Holding the condenser upside down, unscrew the
nut at the base of the condenser; leave the black
O ring in the base of the column.
• Place the T500 Boiler lid over the column and
screw the nut back in the column. Tighten firmly,
so that the lid doesn’t spin anymore.
• Place the lid and condenser on the T500 Boiler,
in position where you can see the thermometer.
• Secure lid onto the T500 Boiler base with
the clips.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the T500 Reflux Condenser
is standing straight, or it will not operate properly
during distillation.
