INSTALLATION
4
Your Rapid Distillation Apparatus has been shipped to you in one carton. In unpacking,
remove the packing material carefully, checking all material for two separately packed parts. The
carton will contain a heater element assembly and clmaps wrapped in protective paper, and the
one-piece glass still packed between foam pads inside of a cardboard carton.
Inspect this material thoroughly prior to installation and report any damage that may have
occurred in transit.

Installation Factors
Assembly
(1)
Remove the condenser clamp screws and clamp from the console.
(2)
Lay the console unit on its back and position the glass still assembly on the console, lining
up the glass trap and condenser sections, as shown in Figure 2.
(3)
Replace both the large and small clamps, insert and tighten down the clamp screws until
the glassware is firmly attached to the console.
NOTE: Check clearance on the condenser tip with the movable flask support shelf.
Adjust the entire glassware unit, by slightly loosening the clamp screws, so that enough
room is provided to insert the receiver flask. Retighten clamp screws to secure this
position.
(4)
Place still in a location having a convenient 115 volt, AC outlet, and accessibility to
distilled water, tap water and drain facilities.
