safety
When using your iron, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, such as:
• 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 fabric select dial and steam lever should
always be turned to “0/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 hot water
in the reservoir.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
ii
• 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.
• 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 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®and SPRAY MIST®features
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
lever to 0/OFF and the Fabric Select Dial to OFF.
To fill the water reservoir:
1. Lift the Water Fill Hole Cover. The cover does
have the ability to be removed and can be
carefully placed back into the placement grooves.
2. Make sure the iron is unplugged. Set the Steam
Lever to 0/OFF and the Fabric Select Dial to OFF.
3. 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.

•in a horizontal position without moving it,
or accidentally tip the iron over, it will
automatically stop heating after 30 seconds.
The Power Indicator will blink to let you know
that the iron has stopped heating.
• in a vertical position (on its heel rest) without
moving it, the iron will automatically turn off

and storing it safely between use.
Anti-Calcium System (Select models only)
The Anti-Calcium System is a permanent system
located inside the water reservoir. This system
removes calcium from the water and reduces
calcium build-up on the soleplate.
