Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON.
• Do not leave a hot iron within reach of
children. If they come into contact with
a hot iron it could lead to serious burns.
• Iron only on an ironing board.
• An iron takes approximately 30 minutes to
cool down. Allow the iron to cool completely
before storing.
Sunbeam are 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:
• 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 young
children or infirm persons unless they have
been adequately supervised by a responsible
adult to ensure that they can use the appliance
safely.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
• Do not wind the cord around the
soleplate while the iron is still hot.
• Do not leave the iron unattended
while it is plugged into the power outlet.
• 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 place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or 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.

Features of your Ultura Dry Iron
Thermostat light
Illuminates to indicate
that the iron is heating
and goes out when
it has reached the
temperature selected on
the temperature dial. The
thermostat light cycles
on and off during ironing
as the iron maintains the
selected temperature.
Temperature dial
Allows you to select
the desired
temperature for
each garment.
Temperature indicator
Align the desired setting
with the temperature
indicator.
Long cord with swivel cord outlet
The swivel cord outlet is ideal for left
or right hand use, and provides greater
versatility and ease of movement when
ironing. The flexible grommet protects
the cord from fraying.
Stable heel rest
Large heel rest
keeps the iron
stable on the
ironing board.

Full length button groove

Cord wrap facility
The built-in cord wrap
facility allows you to wind
the cord around the heel for
neat and tidy storage of the
cord when the iron is not
in use.
Using your Ultura Dry Iron
Before first use
Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic covers
or cardboard sleeves from the soleplate.
Ensure that all adhesive is removed by
rubbing the soleplate with a cloth
dampened with methylated spirits.
NOTE: When turned on for the first time,
your new iron may give off vapours for up
to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial
heating of the materials used. It is safe, not
detrimental to the performance of the iron,
and will not reoccur.
Using your iron
1. Insert the 3 pin plug into a 230/240 volt
power outlet and turn the power on.
Care and Cleaning
After each use
1. Turn the power off and remove the plug
from the power outlet.
2. Allow the iron to cool before winding
the cord around the built-in cord wrap.
Storage
Always store the iron on its heel rest.
NOTE: Do not store the iron with the soleplate
facing down, or in the carton.
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe
over with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry.
Caution: Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical
cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of
your iron as these will damage the surface.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the desired
setting by aligning the setting on the dial with
the temperature indicator. The thermostat
light will illuminate to indicate that the iron
is heating to the selected temperature. When
the thermostat light goes out the iron is at
the selected temperature and is ready to iron.
NOTE: When the temperature dial is changed
from a high setting to a lower temperature
setting during ironing, the thermostat light
will go out immediately. This indicates
that the iron is cooling to the selected
temperature. To ensure that the iron has
reached the selected temperature and is not
too hot, wait until the thermostat light comes
on again and then goes out before ironing.
Cleaning the Teflon® Platinum Pro non-stick
soleplate
The non-stick coating reduces sticking of
fabrics and starches to the soleplate. Do
not iron over sharp objects such as buttons,
studs and zippers, as these will scratch the
surface.
Wipe the soleplate with a damp soft cloth
after each use. If polyester has burnt to the
soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while hot.
Caution: Do not use scouring pads, abrasives
or harsh cleaners to clean your Teflon®
Platinum Pro soleplate, as these will scratch
and damage the surface.

Ironing Guide
Selecting ironing temperature
Always read garment labels and follow the
manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
Hints for easier ironing
• Sort articles to be ironed according to the
type of fabric. This will reduce the need
to adjust the temperature to suit varying
garments.
• Start with garments requiring lower
temperatures and work your way through to
items requiring higher temperatures.
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of
a garment, test a small area such as a
seam or inside hem section before ironing
a visible area. Start with a low temperature
and gradually increase the heat to find the
best setting for ironing the garment.
• When reducing the temperature to iron
sensitive fabrics, allow approximately 2
minutes for the iron to cool to the new
setting.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) can be
ironed with the temperature dial set to
Wool. Use an ironing cloth to prevent shine
marks on the fabric.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen and silk
are best ironed with an ironing cloth to
prevent shine marks.
• Never iron areas of a garment where
perspiration marks are visible, as the heat
of the iron will fix the stains, making them
permanent.
