IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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.
safety
• 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.
ii
• 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.
• 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®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 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.
W
ARNING
:
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.
