Sunbeam 3035, 3040 User Manual

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.

If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect

from the power supply and have the iron

serviced by an authorized

serwce

center.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

l This is a 1200.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

IO-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

Filling the Water Reservoir

You must fill the water reservoir with water to use the SPRAY and to

Tip: Sunbeam tests each iron at the factory to ensure that they leave a small, harmless amount of water within the water reservoir.

Before you fill the water reservoir, please consider the following:

l 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 distilled water, instead.
