RELEASE THE VACUUM
Turn the vacuum relief screw to the left
4-full turns (8-half turns
)
to relieve the
pressure so you can remove the lid in the
next step —
do not remove the screw
completely
. It may take up to 60 seconds
for pressure to release. Do not force the lid
off.
18.
ALLOW CHAMBER TO COOL
When finished, always allow the collector
and reservoir cup to cool before handling.
If the Source is operated without alcohol
directly in the cup, the cup will become
very hot, and require extra time to cool.
19.
REMOVE THE EXTRACT
Remove the lid. Unscrew the reservoir
from the post and transfer the extract into
a storage container. Store the extract in a
sealed container away from direct light and
heat, and out of reach of pets and children.
20.
COLLECT ALCOHOL FOR REUSE
If the collector is full enough, spillage may
occur
from the bottom
when pouring out.
Emptying the collector over a large bowl is
recommended.
Most essential oils will not leave any taste
or smell in the reclaimed alcohol. Some
resinous plants, like hops, may leave a
slight trace. If so, reuse that alcohol for
similar extracts.
Always store alcohol out of reach of pets
and children and well away from heat/
combustion sources.
