Before using your Sunbeam Water Filter and
Chiller.
• 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.
• It is important to rinse out the dispensing
system before starting to use your appliance.
• 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
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
• Press the button again to stop dispensing.
• The flushing procedure should be repeated
with cold tap water twice to ensure there is no
residual taste.
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 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.
