IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:

R

EAD

• 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
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.

RONING

• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.

• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.

• You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics)
to avoid damaging them with an iron that is too hot.

• If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a seam
or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually
increase the heat to find the best setting.

• When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting,
allow approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.

• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the steam
to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.

• To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too hot
because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.

• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron over
the flap. Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.

• Use the Ironing Guide to select the best setting and method for the fabric
you plan to iron.
