Ordering Note: Purchase Kugelrohr glassware separately.

Note: A trap between the receiving flask/s and vacuum pump is recommended.
Applications related to marijuana extraction/production are not supported.

Typical operation:
Step 1. Fill the load (oven) flask (25 mL to 2 L) one-third full with distillable material. Connect the load flask to the motor drive coupling inside the oven. Connect the load flask to a horizontal receiving flask outside the oven. Connect a straight tube to the receiving flask and to a vacuum source with rubber tubing.
Step 2. A vacuum pump may be plugged into the receptacle on the rear of the oven and switched on and off from the Kugelrohr front control panel.
Step 3. Fill cooling tray with ice.
Step 4. Turn on the Kugelrohr main power switch. Set the distillation temperature on the front control panel, turn on the motor drive and vacuum pump.
Step 5. Collect distillate in the horizontal receiving flask outside the oven.
