If I only put one quart in it will still be the same distance from the coils and distiller because it has an automatic fill on it. When the resevoir is full it stops filling and not until. I don't believe I can change this but thanks for the suggestion. Doris

When it is full and boiling I think it is too close to the condenser part on top. You have nothing to lose by distilling 3 Quarts as it takes less power. I have gas hot water so I use hot water from tap. Gas is cheaper than electric at least where I am. Hope this helps you got nothing too lose. I would be interested in if this helps for others.
