Sunbeams 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

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.

Care and Cleaning  
• Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive  
cleaners.  
Emptying the internal tank  
• Switch off the unit and unplug from the  
mains.  
• Do not place any part of this appliance in  
the dishwasher.  
Turn the unit upside down to reveal a drain  
plug located in the centre of the base.  
• Wipe the base with a clean cloth or  
paper towel.  
• Using a $2 coin or a screw driver, turn the  
plug anti clockwise until it is fully loosened.  
Please note that it cannot be completely  
removed from the unit.  
• Wash the water tank in warm soapy water  
using a mild detergent.  
• Do not immerse the base in water or any  
other liquid.  
• Drain the unit  
• If the unit is to be moved or if it is to be  
stored for a prolonged period without being  
used, it is recommended to drain the internal  
tank of any remaining water.  
• Insert the plug after draining and using a $2  
coin or screwdriver, turn it clockwise until it  
stops  
• Do not over tightened as this may damage  
the plug.
