Before First Use
• Unpack your Steamer; remove and peel off any labels adhered to the unit.
• Remove and save instruction manual.
• Wipe outside of the unit with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust. Dry thoroughly.
• Keep unit on a flat, leveled surface.
• When using your Steamer for the first time, you may notice a small amount of smoke and a slight
odor. This is normal when heating the appliance for the first time and there is no reason for
concern.
Sunbeam is very safety conscious when designing
and manufacturing consumer products, but it is
essential that the product user also exercise care
when using an electrical appliance. Listed below are
precautions which are essential for the safe use of
an electrical appliance:
• Read All Instructions Before Use.
• Use appliance only for its intended use.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the appliance to “Off” before
plugging or unplugging the appliance from the
electrical outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect
from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let
appliance cool completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
• Always disconnect appliance from electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying, and
when not in use.
• Do not operate appliance with a damaged
cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or
damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
appliance, take it to a qualified service center for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or
repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when the appliance is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance
being used by or near children. Do not leave
appliance unattended while connected.
• Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts,
hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a
steam appliance upside down – there may be hot
water in the reservoir.
• To reduce the risk of contact with hot water
emitting from steam vents, check appliance
before each use by holding it away from body and
operating steam button.
• To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
• Never steam clothes while someone is wearing.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15
ampere rated cord should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot
be pulled or tripped over.
• When filling the water tank, watch for water that
can drip onto the floor and cause you to slip and
fall. Do not place an appliance on or near a hot
gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
• Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that
it cannot be pulled or tripped over. Always make
sure you can move freely without getting tangled
with the cord. For additional protection, use a
residual current device (RCD) with a tripping
current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical
circuit supplying power to your appliances.
• Appliance may cause personal injury or be
damaged if dropped.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold
by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries
or void your warranty.
• To avoid personal injury and damage to the
appliance, only add water to the water tank.
NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or
any other chemical additives.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance by a person Responsible for their
safety.
• 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.
