IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDSsafety
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
•READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
•Use iron only for its intended use.
•To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
•The iron should always be turned to “OFF” before plugging or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
•Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
•Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
•Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the iron. Take it to an authorized service center for examination and/or repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
•Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
•Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may
be hot water in the reservoir.

safety
•If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the iron serviced by an authorized service center.
•Your SUNBEAM® iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron unattended. Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
•This is a 1400-Watt appliance.To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
•If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
For products purchased in the United States and Canada only
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.

Filling the Water Reservoir
You must fill the water reservoir with water to use the SHOT OF STEAM® and SPRAY MIST® features and to get steam out of your iron.
Tip: SUNBEAM® tests each iron at the factory to ensure that they function correctly. The test may leave a small, harmless amount of water within the water reservoir.
Before you fill the water reservoir, please consider the following:
•While this iron was designed for use with tap water, very hard water will reduce the performance of
the iron. If your water is very hard, SUNBEAM® recommends that you use tap water the first time,
then consider using demineralized or distilled water for subsequent use. You should use tap water once a month, however, to maintain the iron’s optimal steam performance.
•Do not use water that has passed through a home
water softening system. This type of water contains minerals that will decrease the performance and shorten the life of your iron. Use demineralized
or distilled water, instead.
Important: When not ironing, always set the Steam Dial to ZERO and the Fabric Select Dial to MIN.
To fill the water reservoir:
1.Make sure the iron is unplugged. Set the Steam Dial to ZERO and the Fabric Select Dial to MIN.
2.Fill water cup with water. Pour water into iron water reservoir. Do not fill water reservoir
beyond maximum fill level.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, be careful when filling a hot iron with water. Hot metal parts, hot water and
steam can cause injuries.
