followed including the following:

EFORE

SE

• 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 fabric select dial and steam lever should always be turned to “O/Off” before
plugging or unplugging from out let. 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 plugged in or turned on 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 service center. Or call Customer Service
at 800-458-8407.

• 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 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 15-ampere cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

FOR PRODUCTS PURCHASED IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA

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.

USING THE IRON’S SPECIAL FEATURES

SPRAY MIST®FEATURE

The SPRAY MIST®feature is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the fabric to aid
in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases.

To use the SPRAY MIST®Feature:

Press the SPRAY MIST®button firmly.

SHOT OF STEAM®FEATURE

The SHOT OF STEAM®feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration
of stubborn wrinkles. You can use this feature while Dry or Steam ironing, but the water
reservoir must be at least 1/4 full of water.

To use the SHOT OF STEAM®Feature:

Place the iron on top of the wrinkle and press the SHOT OF STEAM®button each time
you would like an extra burst of steam. The SHOT OF STEAM®feature may be used
continuously with just a short pause between shots.

VERTICAL STEAM

The vertical steam feature allows your iron to function as a garment steamer.

TIP:

When using the vertical steam on clothing, hang the clothing on a clothes hanger
for best results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.

To use Vertical Steam:

1.Make sure that the iron has heated up (2 minutes).

2.Hold the iron in a vertical position, with the iron close to but not touching the fabric
you want to steam.

3.With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.

4.Press the SHOT OF STEAM®button for approximately 3-second intervals as you
move the iron across the wrinkled area.

WARNING:

To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area
being steamed.

WARNING:

DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.
