#### Also included:

KL32704 [Large Spiral Prismatic Packing 7mm (OD) x 3.6mm](https://kegland.com.au/products/spiral-prismatic-packing-spp-500g-od0-4mm-x-h3-6mm) (to fill the column for Reflux Mode)

Gin Basket installed (under 12: Basket/Column Cap) - this does not need to be removed if not used during a run

Standard IEC Cable

#### Included Outlet Nipples

**1.2mm Nipple Insert** - suitable for Stripping Runs and Pot Still operation
\
**0.5mm Nipple Insert** - High Purity (with SPP installed) and faster run time for reflux mode
\
**0.3mm Nipple Insert** - Highest Purity (with SPP installed), slowest run time for reflux mode

### Assembly

After unboxing the PolyPhoenix Air Still Pro Head and the PolyPhoenix Air Still Pro Boiler, check that you have all listed components.

Fit the Air Still Head onto the Boiler.

Fit the Air Still Head onto the Boiler.

**NOTE**: The boiler clamps are not concentric. This is by design to ensure that the Air Still Head is correctly oriented. When attached, the Reset button on the boiler will be to the left of the column, and the power outlet will be on the right as shown.

**NOTE**: Do not plug the boiler in until assembly is complete

Next, check that the Outlet Nipple is installed. For initial cleaning, we recommend swapping this for the 1.2mm Outlet. Spare Outlets are stored in the top of the Distillation Outlet (1). To remove the installed Outlet, unscrew it anticlockwise. To install a different Outlet, screw it in clockwise until snug. Finger tight is sufficient to seal

Underneath the column, check that the stainless packing plug is secure. Remove the Column Cap (2) and Gin Basket (3)

Carefully open the plastic bag filled with  7mm (OD) x 3.6mm. Carefully pour the SPP into the column. Replace the Gin Basket and Column Cap.

Ensure that the foreshots collection jar is installed snugly (4)

Ensure that the foreshots collection jar is installed snugly (4)

To complete the assembly, the Air Still Head needs to be plugged into the Air Still Boiler. Then plug the included IEC cable into the IEC socket on the Air Still Column and connect the IEC cable to a standard 10amp power outlet.

### Relief Valve

There is a Relief Valve under the Outlet Head next to the Foreshots Collection Jar. This is an important safety feature and should never be blocked.

The relief valve will only operate if excess pressure develops in the Still Head. In normal operation, this is extremely unlikely. You may notice a couple of drips from the relief valve at the very start of a run. This is normal and nothing to worry about. If the relief valve continues to drip during the run the PolyPhoenix Air Still Pro will shut down automatically once the Ethanol Sensor threshold is triggered.&#x20;

If using an external boiler with the PolyPhoenix Air Still Pro Head, shut the boiler down or drop the power to the boiler if there are drips coming from the Relief Valve.
