Using your Water Purifier
Before using your Sunbeam Water Purifier
•Carefully unpack the appliance and check that all components are included.
•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.
•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.
•Remove the water tank lid and fill to the maximum level with hot tap water.
•Place a large container or jug under the spout.
•Press the dispensing paddle until all the water has been filtered and the water tank is empty.
•Repeat this flushing process with cold tap water twice to ensure that there is
no residual taste.
•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.
•Disregard these first three jugs of filtered water.
•Do not fill above the MAX level indicated.
Filter life
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.
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.
NOTE: A reduction in water pressure indicates it's time to change your filter. Replace your filter at least every six months.
Replacing the filter
•Switch off and unplug the appliance.
•Remove and discard the old filter.
•Remove any black 'o' rings which may have been left behind.
•Remove the two clear plugs from the new filter.
•Wet the new black 'o' ring seals and snap the filter into place.
•Flush the filter as described above.
