IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, 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 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 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.

• 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 10-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

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.

* In Mexico the iron runs at 127 Volts, 1350 Watts. If an extension cord is necessary

a 13-Ampere cord should be used.

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

You must fill the water reservoir with water to use the SPRAY MIST®feature 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 Dry/O and

TO FILL THE WATER RESERVOIR

1. Make sure the iron is UNPLUGGED and that the large Fabric/Temperature dial

is set to Off/O and the small Steam dial is set to Dry/O.

2. Hold the iron at an angle.

3. Fill the water reservoir with tap water until it reaches the maximum fill level.

WARNING:

the Fabric/Temperature dial to Off/O.

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.

DRY IRONING

1. Make sure the Steam dial is turned to the Dry/O setting.

2. Plug the cord into a 120-Volt AC outlet.

3. Turn the large Fabric/Temperature dial to the fabric setting you desire

Allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes. While the iron is heating, make sure it is sitting on its heel rest on a stable, protected surface.

TIP:

Refer to the Ironing Guide on Page 7 for the recommended setting for your fabric.

HOW TO USE THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

SPRAY MIST

The SPRAY MIST®feature dampens the fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases. To use the SPRAY MIST®feature: Pump the SPRAY MIST button (may require several pumps to prime the water pump).

AUTO-OFF

After 30 minutes, the power indicator light will go out. This indicates that the iron is no longer heating.

To restart the iron, unplug the power cord and plug it back in. If you do NOT want to iron any longer, unplug the iron. Then turn the small Steam dial to Dry/O and the large Fabric/Temperature dial to Off/O.

DO NOT use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or vinegar to clean the soleplate. This will damage the finish.

CLEANING THE IRON TO REDUCE MINERAL BUILD UP

THIS PROCEDURE CLEANS THE IRON’S STEAM VALVE, STEAM VENTS, AND STEAM CHAMBER OF MINERALS THAT CAN CLOG YOUR IRON, AND REDUCE ITS STEAMING AND HEATING CAPABILITIES.

The Steam valve/Steam dial is removable for easy cleaning. Cleaning the iron is only necessary if you notice a reduction in steam. Use the following procedure to reduce the mineral build up:

• Set Steam dial to OFF position.

• Fill the iron’s water tank to its maximum level.

• Set the temperature selector knob to its highest setting.

• Allow the iron to heat for 1-1/2 minutes.
