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.

to Off.
MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM MASTER®IRON
CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE
Clean the soleplate if starch or other residue accumulate.
To clean the Soleplate:
1. Allow the iron to cool and then wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.
WARNING:
DO NOT use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or vinegar to clean the soleplate.
This will damage the finish.
2. Run the iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any residue.
USING THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE
You should use the Self-Cleaning feature once a month to maintain the optimal performance
of your iron.
To use the Self-Cleaning feature:
1. Move the Steam Lever back and forth from O/Off (Dry) several times to remove debris
and minerals from the Steam Valve. This keeps water flowing into the steam chamber
.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE ANTI-CALCIUM SYSTEM
The STEAM MASTER®iron houses an anti-calcium filter in the reservoir, which eliminates
impurities from the water.
To prolong the efficiency of this filter:
1. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool.
2. Locate the water cup that accompanied the iron. Fill it with water to the Sunbeam logo
in the top right corner. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and fill the water reservoir
with this solution.
3. Leave the solution in the water reservoir for 15 minutes, then empty it.
4. Fill the water reservoir a second time with the salt water solution and empty it again
after 15 minutes.
5. Fill the tank with fresh water to rinse and empty.
The Anti-Calcium System should be cleaned approximately once a month.
