Safe, Clean Drinking Water
The Sunbeam Water Purifier 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

Using your Water Purifier
Before using your Sunbeam Water Purifier
Filter life
• Carefully unpack the appliance and check
that all components are included.
The life of the filter will be greatly affected by the
quality of your tap water. When you notice that
the water is flowing very slowly from the spout,
it is time to change the filter. This can vary from
one month to six months depending on the area
where you live. However it MUST be replaced
at least every six months to maintain filtering
performance. The label on the filter will remind you
when to do this.
• Wipe the appliance with a clean cloth or
paper towel. Wash out the inside of the
water tank with a cloth moistened with water.
Do not use any detergents or cleaning
products.
• Plug the appliance into an appropriate
electrical outlet and switch on the power.
In addition to the Superfine filter which is supplied
with the product, a less fine General Purpose filter
is also available and is ideal to use in areas where
the mineral content of the water is high. Please
note that this filter will not remove giardia and
cryptosporidium.
• This appliance has been designed to be
used continuously.
• Keep appliance out of direct sunlight.
Flushing the filter
• It is important to rinse out the dispensing
system before using the appliance for the
first time.
NOTE: A reduction in water pressure indicates
it's time to change your filter. Replace your filter at
least every six months.
• Remove the water tank lid and fill to the
maximum level with hot tap water.
Replacing the filter
• Place a large container or jug under
the spout.
• Switch off and unplug the appliance.
• Remove and discard the old filter.
• Press the dispensing paddle until all the
water has been filtered and the water tank
is empty.
• Remove any black 'o' rings which may have
been left behind.
• Repeat this flushing process with cold tap
water twice to ensure that there is
no residual taste.
• Remove the two clear plugs from the new filter.
• Wet the new black 'o' ring seals and snap
the filter into place.
• The first few jugs of filtered water may
contain some black residue from the carbon
filter. This is normal and does not indicate
that the filter is faulty.
• Flush the filter as described above.
• Disregard these first three jugs of filtered
water.
• Do not fill above the MAX level indicated.

Using your Fridge Jug
Before using your Fridge Jug
Using your Fridge Jug
• Carefully unpack the jug and discard all

through the easy fill lid.

towel and wash the inside with a cloth
moistened with water. Do not use detergents
or cleaning products.
• Keep fridge jug in the door of the fridge to
allow water to chill.
• Place fridge jug in the fridge at least 1 hour
before using to allow water to chill.
• Ensure the spout cover and easy fill lid are
securely attached.
