Procedure:
General precaution:
[][]Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and current handling capacity.
[][]Do not locate your EASY pure II directly over equipment that requires electrical service. Routine maintenance of this unit may involve water spillage and subsequent electrical shock hazard, if improperly located.
[][]Replace fuses only with the same type and rating of fuse.
[][]Do not assemble water lines or remove cartridges where spilled water could contact equipment that requires electrical service. Electrical shock could result.
[][]Disconnect from the power supply prior to maintenance and servicing.
[][]Does not use in the presence of flammable or combustible materials; fire or explosion may result. This device contains components which may ignite such materials.
[][]Do not use in the presence of highly corrosive substances such as bleach or acid baths; fire may result.
[][]This device is to be used with water feeds only. Cleaning agents must be used in compliance with instructions in this manual. Failure to comply could result in explosion and personal injury.

[][]When the display will show the resistivity 18.2 MΩ-cm at 25°C, the water can be taken from the instrument for different purposes by pushing down the Draw-off Valve Lever.
[][]To reserve the RO water for further use, connect the Water purification system with Barnstead 30 liter Storage reservoir with water inlet tubing.
[][]Push down the Draw-off Valve Lever to transfer the RO water from Water purification system to Barnstead 30 liter Storage reservoir by water inlet tubing.
[][]Use the water from the Barnstead 30 liter Storage reservoir for different purposes by Draw Off Valve.
[][]Use Product water outlet to drain the RO water if necessary.
[][]Finally power off Water Purification System.
[][]Unplug the instrument from the main power connection.
