Sunbeam is very safety conscious when designing and  
manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential  
that the product user also exercise care when using  
an electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions  
which are essential for the safe use of an electrical  
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 on a heated oven.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over  
the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot  
surface.  
• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided  
with an appliance.  
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before  
you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the  
plug - do not pull on the cord.  
Turn the power off and remove the plug when the  
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.  
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord  
unless this cord has been checked and tested by a  
qualified technician or service person.  
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the  
voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory  
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and  
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision  
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a  
person responsible for their safety.  
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a  
damaged cord or after the appliance has been  
damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected,  
return the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam  
Appointed Service Centre  
for examination, repair or adjustment.  
• 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 power to your appliances.  
• Do not immerse the appliance in water  
or any other liquid unless recommended.  
• Appliances are not intended to be operated  
by means of an external timer or separate remote  
control system.

and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas  
in shops, offices and other working environments;  
farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels and other  
residential type environments; bed and breakfast  
type environments.  
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do  
not play with the appliance.

Using your Water Filter  
& Chiller  
Before using your Water Filter  
& Chiller  
• Carefully unpack the appliance and check  
that all the components are included.  
Please refer to pages 2-3.  
• Remove the filter cartridge and put to one  
side.  
Do not re-insert until (a) flushing process  
and (b) preparation of filter cartridge  
procedures, as explained below, have been  
completed.  
• Wipe out the filtered water tank with a  
damp cloth which has been soaked in  
water.  
• Position the appliance on a dry, level and  
secure bench top. Allow for good airflow  
around the appliance so do not place  
directly against a wall.  
• Do not position the unit in an area that  
receives direct sunlight. Placing the unit in  
direct sunlight may affect unit performance  
as well as promote the growth of algae.  
Flushing Process  
• It is important that you flush and rinse out  
the dispensing system before using the  
appliance for the first time.  
• Fill the water tank to the brim with hot tap  
water.  
• Place a large container or jug under the  
spout.  
• Press the dispenser lever until all the water  
is dispensed and the water tank is empty.  
• Repeat this flushing process twice with  
cold tap water and discard.  
• Please note that when flushing for the first  
time, while pressing the dispensing lever,  
no water will be dispensed until the tank  
is almost empty as it will be filling the  
chilling tank.  
• Do not fill above the maximum level  
indicated.  
• Please note that you should carry out these  
steps without the Maxtra cartridge in place.  
• Plug the appliance into an appropriate  
electrical outlet and switch on.  
• A white power on light will be illuminated  
to show that the appliance is switched on  
and working.

Using your Water Filter & Chiller (continued)  
Preparing the BRITA® MAXTRA filter cartridge  
for use  
Note: Repeat the cartridge preparation  
process each time you insert a new cartridge.  
• Remove the cartridge from its wrapping  
(it is normal for the cartridge to appear  
moist).  
• Immerse the cartridge in cold water and  
agitate gently to remove any air bubbles.  
(See figure 1).  
• Once the water has been filtered, you can  
refill this section.  
• This will then filter through as water is  
dispensed.  
• After approximately 4 hours, the power  
light will change from white to blue to  
indicate that the water has been chilled.  
• The light may flicker from blue to white  
as water is dispensed and if the ambient  
temperature increases. The fan may be  
activated in these conditions and will  
remain so until the required temperature  
has been reached.  
Figure 1  
• Insert the cartridge into the 2 litre filtering  
tank and push it firmly into place until  
it ‘clicks’.  
• Place the filtering tank into the sink. Fill  
the filtering tank from the tap with cold  
water, and allow the water to pass through  
the filter into the sink until empty. This  
first filling is used to activate the filter  
cartridge.  
• Insert the filtering tank into the water tank.  
Now refill with cold tap water, and the  
system is ready for use.  
• To exchange the cartridge, simply use the  
ring pull handle on the top of the cartridge  
to remove it from the funnel.  
(See figure 2).

Using your Water Filter & Chiller (continued)  
Filtering time  
• At the end of every two weeks, one  
bar will disappear to indicate the  
remaining cartridge life. When only one  
bar is showing, ensure that you have a  
replacement BRITA® MAXTRA water filter  
cartridge available.  
Please note that on average it will take 5½  
minutes to filter 1 litre of water through the  
BRITA® MAXTRA cartridge.  
Using the Memo function  
It is important to change your filter cartridge  
regularly to enjoy the benefits of filtered  
water.  
(See figure 4).  
The BRITA® Memo system automatically  
reminds you when your filter cartridge needs  
to be changed. It is automatically calibrated  
according to average use of one litre of water  
per day and will remind you to change your  
filter every 8 weeks. If you are a heavier user  
than one litre per day you will need to change  
your filter more often according to your usage  
rate. A filter will effectively filter 150 litres of  
water before needing replacement.

Figure 4  
• After 8 weeks, all four bars will disappear  
and a flashing arrow will appear to indicate  
that the cartridge should be replaced.  
(See figure 5).  
Once you have fitted and prepared your filter  
cartridge as outlined on page 5, start the  
Memo system as follows:  
• Press and hold the Start button until 4  
bars appear on the display and flash twice.  
The Memo is now set. The flashing dot in  
the corner of the display indicates that the  
Memo is working. (See figure 3).

each time you insert a new cartridge.
