Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Sunbeam are very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also exercises care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug – do not pull on the
cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons unless
they have been adequately supervised by a
responsible adult to ensure that they can use
the appliance safely.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot
gas flame, electric element or on a heated
oven. Do not place on top of any other
appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance
hang over the edge of a table or bench top
or touch any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. If
damage is suspected, return the appliance
to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service
Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

Using your BRITA® Water Filter
& Chiller
Before using your BRITA® Water Filter
& Chiller
• Remove any packaging and promotional
material from the packaging.
• Remove the filter cartridge and keep in a
safe place.
• Remove the lid and filtering tank and wash
in warm soapy water, rinse and wipe dry.
• Wipe out the filtered water tank with a
damp cloth which has been soaked in
soapy water.
• Position the appliance on a dry, level and
secure bench top.
• Allow good airflow around the appliance.
• Do not place directly against a wall.
• Plug the appliance into a suitable power
outlet and switch on.
Preparing the BRITA Maxtra water filter
cartridge for use
• Remove the cartridge from its wrapping

moist, this is simply condensation).
• Immerse the cartridge in cold tap water and
agitate gently to remove any air bubbles.
See figure 1.

Using your BRITA Water Filter & Chiller continued
Filtering time
Please note that on average it will take 5½
minutes to filter 1 litre of water through the
®
BRITA
Maxtra cartridge.
Using the Memo function
It is important to change your filter cartridge
regularly to enjoy the benefits of filtered water.
The BRITA Memo system automatically
reminds you when your filter cartridge needs
to be changed.
When you have fitted and prepared your filter
cartridge, start the Memo system as follows:
• Press and hold the Start button until 4
bars appear on the display and flash twice.
The Memo is now set. The flashing dot in
the corner of the display indicates that the
Memo is working. See figure 2.
• After flushing the filter, the water will need
to chill. When switched on, a blue power
on LED will be illuminated to show that
the appliance is switched on and working.
When the water has been chilled the light
will appear white.
• On first use the appliance should be left
overnight to chill. On subsequent uses, it
will take approximately 90 minutes to chill
the contents of the chilling reservoir.
• The light may flicker between blue and
white as water is dispensed and if the
ambient temperature increases. The fan
may also be activated in these conditions
and will remain so until the required
temperature has been reached.
• At the end of every two weeks, one
bar will disappear to indicate the
remaining cartridge life. When only one
bar is showing, check that you have a
replacement BRITA Maxtra water filter
cartridge available. See figure 3.

and a flashing arrow will appear to indicate
that the cartridge should be replaced. See

cartridge (see 'Preparing the filter cartridge
for use') and restart the BRITA Memo as
described above.
Note: The Memo system is only intended to
be used with BRITA
®
filter cartridges.
Removing the filter cartridge
• When it is time to replace the cartridge after
8 weeks use, simply lift the handle on top
of the cartridge to remove. See figure 5.
• The cartridge may be disposed of in
household waste or contact the BRITA
consumer service for advice on recycling
schemes.
