grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by your electricity supplier or qualified
technician.
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.
• 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 Deluxe 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 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.
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.
Lindane has been shown to damage
liver, kidney, nervous system and immune
system in lab animals. At high levels, it
has caused nervous
Chemicals can soak through the soil
into ground water, or can be carried into
lakes and rivers by rainwater run off.

Using your Deluxe Water Filter
and Chiller
Before using your Sunbeam Deluxe Water
Filter and Chiller.
• The flushing procedure should be repeated
with cold tap water twice to ensure there is no
residual taste.
• 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.
• It is important to rinse out the dispensing
system before starting to use your appliance.
• 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.
• 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.
• The light may flicker on and off as chilled
water is dispensed and if the ambient
temperature increases. The fan will also
come on in these conditions and will
remain on until the water is chilled to the
required temperature.
• 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
Filtering room temperature water.
recommend that you flush the filter and
discard the first batch of filtered water. Press
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 important not to interrupt
the water flow during this time. It is normal for
a small amount of unfiltered water to remain in
the bottom of the water tank.
• 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.
• Press the button again to stop dispensing.

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.
• 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
• After fitting a new filter always flush out the
filter before use.
• 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. This can
be any time from one month to six months
depending on the area where you live.
However, it must be replaced at least every
six months. The label on the filter will help you
to remember when this is. In addition to the
Super Fine Filter supplied with the appliance,
a longer lasting General Purpose Filter is also
available and is ideal to use in areas where
the mineral content of the water is high.
However, this filter will not remove giardia or
cryptosporidium.
• Flush the filter as explained above.
If the appliance has not been used for more
than two weeks, flush the filter before use.
