instructions provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by your electricity supplier or qualified
technician.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on
the underside of the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.
• Young children or infirm persons 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 in a heated
oven. Do not place on top of any other
appliance.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when cleaning.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance
hang over the edge of a table or bench top
or touch any hot surface.
• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof means as
specified by S.A.A. (Standards Association of
Australia). Such appliances should always be
returned to the nearest Sunbeam Service
Centre or appointed Service Agent for
adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with

recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying the power outlet in use.
Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

Features of your Water Filter
and Chiller
The Sunbeam Water Filter and Chiller features a micro-fine 0.5 micron carbon block filter which
removes contaminants from water that can cause bad taste and odour, as well as being harmful
to your health.
Some of the potential contaminants of concern are listed below, along with the sources of each
and their potential health effects.
7
Safe, clean drinking water
Contaminant Source Health Effect
Lead
Cysts
(Cryptosporidium
& Giardia)
Lindane
(a common pesticide)
Lead can enter your water from lead
plumbing, lead solder and brass alloy
taps.
Main source is from animal faeces
containing the cysts. Run off carries
cysts into lakes and rivers.
A hard shell protects these microorganisms from the chlorine
disinfection.
Chemicals can soak through the soil
into ground water, or can be carried
into lakes and rivers by rainwater run
off.
Lead can interfere with red blood
cells, delay physical and mental
development in babies and children,
increase blood pressure and damage
kidneys in adults.
Cysts can cause acute flu like
symptoms that can last one to three
weeks in healthy adults. Effects on
children or the elderly can be more
serious and life threatening for those
with suppressed immune systems
such as cancer patients or HIV/Aids
patients.
Lindane has been shown to damage
liver, kidney, nervous system and
immune system in lab animals. At
high levels, it has caused nervous
and circulatory system damage in
humans.

Before using your Sunbeam Water Filter
and Chiller System.
• Carefully unpack the appliance and check that
all components are included.
• Wash the water tank and lid with warm soapy
water then rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Wipe the appliance over with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
• Plug the appliance into the electrical outlet and
turn the power on.
• The appliance has been designed to be used
continuously.
Preparing to flush the filter.
• Remove the water tank from the base and fill
with hot tap water. Place the tank back on the
base and press down firmly to ensure correct
sealing of the water tank to the unit.
• Place a large container or jug (at least 3.5
litres) under the spout.
Flushing the filter.
• The first jug of filtered water may contain some
black dust released from the carbon filter.
Although this is not harmful, we recommend
that you flush the filter and discard the first
batch of filtered water. Press and hold the
continuous flow button until the entire
contents of the water tank has been filtered
and dispensed into the container placed
under the spout. It is normal for a small
amount of unfiltered water to remain in the
bottom of the water tank.
• The flushing procedure should be repeated
with cold tap water twice to ensure there is no
taste left from the filter.
Note: During the flushing process, the
appliance may splutter as the air inside the
filter is replaced by water. You will notice a
change in the filtering noise when the
water tank is almost empty.
• Do not fill the water tank above the MAX
fill line.
• When flushing the filter for the first time,
while pressing the pour button, no water
will be dispensed until the tank is almost
empty as the water will be filling the
internal cooling reservoir.
• After flushing the filter, the water will need
to chill. Leave the appliance plugged in
and wait for the ready light to signal that
the appliance is able to dispense chilled
water. On first use the appliance should be
plugged in and left overnight to chill.
• The light may flicker on and off as chilled
water is dispensed and if ambient
temperature increases.
Filtering room temperature water.
• Push the Room temperature/Filtered button.
For manual dispense, place a glass or jug of
water under the spout and push it against the
manual water dispenser button. To filter the
entire contents of the water tank, place a large
container or jug (at least 3.5 litres) under the
spout. Press the continuous flow button.
Using your Water Filter and Chiller

Filtering chilled water.
• Push the Chilled/Filtered button and use either
the manual water dispenser button or the
continuous flow button. The unit will dispense
up to 1.1 litres of chilled water at a time. If the
entire 1.1 litres of water is dispensed, the unit
will require time to chill the water again. The
ready light will indicate that the unit is able to
dispense chilled water.
• After fitting a new filter always flush out the
filter before use.
• To do this, simply filter one full tank.
• The appliance should be left overnight to chill
after flushing.
Filter life.
• The life of your filter will be affected by the
quality of your tap water. When you notice that
the water begins to flow very slowly from the
spout it is time to change the filter. However,
you should replace the filter at least every six
months. In addition to the Super Fine Filter
supplied with the appliance, a longer lasting
General Purpose Filter is also available. This
filter will not remove giardia or
cyptosporodium.
Replacing the filter.
Removing the filter
• Switch off and unplug the appliance.
• Remove the water tank.
• Remove and discard the old filter.
• If black O-ring seals remains inside the
appliance remove and discard them.
Installing the new filter
• Remove the two clear plugs from the new filter
• Wet the new O-ring seals and snap the filter
into place.
• Place a tank of water on the base and plug
the appliance into the power outlet.
• Flush the filter as explained above.
If the appliance has not been used for more
than two weeks, flush the filter before use.
