Place the steam bath on the ring under the round bottom flask. Adjust the height of the steam bath and/or apparatus as necessary.

Connect two pieces of Tygon tubing to the condenser: one to each connection of the water-jacket of the condensor. The tubing to the lower connection goes to the water source, the upper connection goes to the drain.

Connect two pieces of Tygon tubing to the steam bath: one to the lower and one to the upper connection. The tubing at the upper connection goes to the steam source, the lower one goes to the drain.

Make sure all of the glass and tubing joints are tight before turning on the cooling water and the steam. You're done!
