INSTRUCTIONS: Assemble the CREATE+ modular components with the VORTEX Air Cooled Condenser per the instructions. Attach to your copper dome and boiler (sold separately) and connect to power.

As vapour or liquid moves through the two internal tubes of the condenser, the aluminium fins absorb the heat, which is then dispersed by the three integrated air fans. The speed of the fans can be increased or decreased with the control dial to control the heat dissipation rate, like adjusting the water flow of traditional water-cooled condensers.

CLEANING AFTER USE: To clean, you can use a household vacuum cleaner to remove dust that may collect in the fan grill and the finned tubes over time.  To clean inside the product pathway, conduct a distillation run of equal parts white vinegar and drinking water.

CAUTION: Metal fins can have sharp edges.  Use care when handling, assembling, cleaning, or storing this unit, and avoid running fingers along the fin surface.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that in certain countries alcohol distillation and the possession of distilling equipment is illegal and permits/licenses may be required. For guidance or advice, contact your relevant local authorities.
