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.  
• Always use your appliance from a power  
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on  
the underside of the appliance.  
• 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 Appliance Service  
Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.  
As a service to Customers, Sunbeam  
Appliance Service Centres will carry out a  
free check on your appliance to ensure it is  
electrically safe.  
• 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.  
• 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 the power outlet in use.  
Turn the power off and remove the plug  
when cleaning.

Safe, clean drinking water  
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.  
Contaminant  
Lead  
Source  
Health Effect  
Lead can enter your water from lead  
plumbing, lead solder and brass alloy  
taps.  
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  
(Cryptosporidium  
& Giardia)  
Main source is from animal faeces  
containing the cysts. Run off carries  
cysts into lakes and rivers.  
A hard shell protects these micro-  
organisms from the chlorine  
disinfection.  
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  
(a common pesticide)  
Chemicals can soak through the soil  
into ground water, or can be carried  
into lakes and rivers by rainwater run  
off.  
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.

Using your Water Filter and Chiller  
Before using your Sunbeam Water Filter  
and Chiller System.  
• The flushing procedure should be repeated  
with cold tap water twice to ensure there is no  
taste left from the filter.  
• Carefully unpack the appliance and check that  
all components are included.  
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.  
• 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.  
• Do not fill the water tank above the MAX  
fill line.  
• Plug the appliance into the electrical outlet and  
turn the power on.  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• Place a large container or jug (at least 3.5  
litres) under the spout.  
Flushing the filter.  
• The light may flicker on and off as chilled  
water is dispensed and if ambient  
temperature increases.  
• 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.  
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.

will require time to chill the water again. The  
ready light will indicate that the unit is able to  
dispense chilled water.  
• If black O-ring seals remains inside the  
appliance remove and discard them.  
• After fitting a new filter always flush out the  
filter before use.  
Installing the new filter  
• Remove the two clear plugs from the new filter  
To do this, simply filter one full tank.  
• Wet the new O-ring seals and snap the filter  
into place.  
• The appliance should be left overnight to chill  
after flushing.  
• Place a tank of water on the base and plug  
the appliance into the power outlet.  
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
