5. Instruccions de configuració

Segueix aquests passos per al muntatge i la configuració inicials:

1. Desempaquetar components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and verify against the accessory list.
2. Assemble Distillation Barrel: Ensure the main barrel is clean. Place the steaming septum (if using) at the bottom.
3. Attach Condenser Unit: Secure the cooling barrel (condenser unit) onto the main distillation barrel using the stainless steel buckles. Ensure the recessed seals are properly seated to prevent leaks.
4. Connectar la bomba d'aigua: Connect the water pump to the water inlet of the condenser unit using one of the silicone tubes. Place the water pump in a separate container filled with cold water (this will be your cooling water reservoir).
5. Connectar la sortida d'aigua: Connect the water outlet of the condenser unit to the cooling water reservoir using another silicone tube. Ensure the water outlet is positioned to return water to the reservoir for circulation. The design features a wider water outlet to prevent overflow.
6. Instal·lar el termòmetre: Insert the thermometer into its designated port on the condenser unit.
7. Install One-way Exhaust Valve: If using the barrel for fermentation, install the one-way exhaust valve into its port on the main barrel lid.
8. Connexió d'alimentació: Ensure the distiller is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface in a well-ventilated area. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

This distiller can be used for various applications. Always ensure the unit is properly set up and all safety precautions are followed.

6.1 General Distillation Process

1. Prepare Raw Material: Fill the main distillation barrel with your prepared raw material (e.g., fermented mash for spirits, water for distilled water, plant material for essential oils). Do not overfill; leave adequate headspace.
2. Tapa segura: Place the lid with the condenser unit onto the main barrel and secure it tightly with the buckles. Ensure the seals are properly seated.
3. Prepare Cooling System: Ensure the water pump is submerged in cold water in your cooling reservoir and the silicone tubes are correctly connected for circulation.
4. Inici de la calefacció: Turn on the distiller. Use the temperature control knob to set the desired distillation temperature (adjustable from 30-120℃).
5. Temperatura del monitor: Observe the thermometer to ensure the temperature is within the desired range for your specific distillation process.
6. Recollir el destil·lat: As the vapor condenses, the distillate will flow out of the condenser's output tube. Collect it in a suitable container.
7. Monitor Cooling Water: Periodically check the temperature of the cooling water. If it becomes too warm, replace it with fresh cold water or add ice to maintain efficient condensation.
8. Finish Distillation: Once the desired amount of distillate is collected or the process is complete, turn off the distiller and allow it to cool down completely before disassembling.

6.2 Aplicacions específiques

• Alcohol Distillation: For spirits like whiskey, brandy, vodka. The one-way exhaust valve allows the barrel to be used for fermentation prior to distillation. The adjustable temperature (30-120℃) allows for precise control over different alcohol types.
• Distilled Water: Simply fill the main barrel with tap water and distill.
• Olis essencials: Place plant material and water in the main barrel. The adjustable temperature helps in extracting various essential oils.

7. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your VEVOR Alcohol Still.

• Neteja després de cada ús: After the unit has cooled, disassemble and thoroughly clean all components with warm soapy water. Rinse well to remove any residue.
• Evitar la corrosió: Although made of stainless steel, proper drying after cleaning is recommended to prevent water spots or potential corrosion over time.
• Inspect Seals and Tubes: Regularly check silicone gaskets and tubes for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a leak-proof system.
• Emmagatzema correctament: Store the distiller in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Solució De Problemes

9. Consells d'usuari

• For optimal cooling, use a large reservoir for your cooling water and consider adding ice, especially during longer distillation runs.
• When distilling spirits, pay close attention to temperature control to separate different fractions (heads, hearts, tails) for a purer product.
• Always perform a sacrificial run with water before your first actual distillation to clean out any manufacturing residues.
• The one-way exhaust valve is crucial for fermentation; ensure it's installed correctly and functioning to prevent pressure buildup.
