Step 1

While holding the membrane cartridge upright (with opening up) in one hand, carefully pour the electrolyte from the bottle into the cartridge until approximately 75% full. Remove any entrapped air bubbles by tapping on the side of the membrane housing. Try not to spill any of the electrolyte and be certain to wipe off any excess electrolyte with a clean tissue from the outside surfaces of the cartridge.

Step 3

While compressing the membrane cartridge with the thumb and forefinger, slide the cartridge over the anode / cathode assembly until the cartridge seats against the conical gasket. Release the pressure from the thumb and forefinger. Rinse lower portion of this subassembly with DI water to remove any excess electrolyte and blot dry with a clean tissue.
