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.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

INSTRUCCIONES ESPECIALES
• 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,

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

Ironing
Vertical Steam (Select models only)
The vertical steam feature allows your iron
to function as a garment steamer.
Tip: When using the vertical steam on clothing,
hang the clothing on a clothes hanger for best
results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also
be steamed.
To use Vertical Steam:
1. Make sure that the iron has heated up
(2 minutes).

iron close to but not touching the fabric
you want to steam.
3. With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
4. Press the SHOT OF STEAM®button in
approximately 3-second intervals as you
move the iron across the wrinkled area.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep
your hand away from the area being steamed.
WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while
wearing them; this may result in injuries.

after use
Caring for Your Iron After Use
Turning Off Your Iron
1. Turn the Steam Lever to 0/Off and Fabric Select
Dial to Off.
2. Unplug the iron from the power source.
WARNING: NEVER yank the power cord when
unplugging the iron. This can damage the cord.
Storing Your Iron
1. Allow the iron to cool.
2. If you do not use your iron on a daily basis,
empty the water reservoir after each use for
a longer iron life. To do so, unplug the iron, turn
the iron upside down, open the fill hole cover,
and allow water to flow from the fill hole. Shake
the iron gently to remove trapped water drops.
3. Loosely loop the power cord around the heel
rest and store the iron on its heel rest.
Important: Wrapping the cord around the iron
too tightly can damage the cord.
Tip: When not ironing, always set the Steam Lever
to 0/Off and the Fabric Select Dial to Off.

Cleaning the Anti-Calcium System
The DURA PRESS™ 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 rince and empty.
The Anti-Calcium System should be cleaned
approximately once a month.

Ironing Tips and Guide
Ironing Tips
• 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.
