Using your Sunbeam Pro Steam Iron
Before first use
Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic
covers or cardboard sleeves from the
soleplate. Ensure that all adhesive is
removed by rubbing the soleplate with a
cloth dampened with methylated spirits.
Fill the water tank and empty the water.
This will rinse out any foreign particles
remaining in the water tank from the
manufacturing process.
NOTE: When turned on for the first time,
your new iron may give off vapours for up
to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial
heating of the materials used. It is safe,
not detrimental to the performance of the
iron, and will not reoccur.
Filling the iron with water
Before filling the iron with water ensure
the power is turned off and the plug is
removed from the power outlet. The iron
can be filled with water while it is hot.
Place the iron on its heel and open the
water inlet cover.
Slowly pour water into the water inlet
until the maximum water level is reached.
Do not exceed the maximum water level
indicator. Push the water inlet cover firmly
to close.
NOTE: The special soleplate design
allows you to use tap water with your Pro
Steam iron without affecting the steam
performance. However in very hard water
areas, Sunbeam recommends the use of
distilled water, or water which has been
demineralised.
Do not fill the iron with fabric conditioner,
starches or any other solution as these will
damage the steam mechanism. Do not use
contaminated water.
Using your iron
1. Insert the plug into a 230/240 volt
power outlet and turn the power on.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the desired
setting by aligning the setting on the
dial with the temperature indicator. The
thermostat light (positioned on the top
of the handle) will illuminate to indicate
that the iron is heating to the selected
temperature. When the thermostat
light goes out the iron has reached the
selected temperature and is ready to
iron.
NOTE: When the temperature dial is
changed from a high setting to a lower
temperature setting during ironing, the
thermostat light will go out immediately.
This indicates that the iron is cooling
to the selected temperature. To ensure
that the iron has reached the selected
temperature and is not too hot, wait until
the thermostat light comes on again and
then goes out before ironing.
Dry ironing
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
3. Select DRY on the steam dial. This will
cut off the steam flow if there is water
in the tank.
Steam ironing
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
NOTE: When steam ironing, ensure that the
temperature dial is set to any temperature
within the steam band and that the tank is
at least ¼ full of water.
3. Turn the steam dial to the desired steam
setting.
6
Using your Sunbeam Pro Steam Iron (continued)
Using the shot of steam
The shot of steam can be used whether dry
or steam ironing when the temperature dial
is set to any temperature above the two
dot (••) setting.
1. Ensure the tank is at least ¼ full of
water.
2. Select the desired temperature and
wait until the thermostat light goes
out.
3. Press the shot of steam button
several times with the iron on the
soleplate to prime the pump.
NOTE: If the tank has run dry, it may be
necessary to re-prime the pump after
filling the iron with water.
Using the spray mist
The spray mist can be used whether dry
or steam ironing to pre-dampen hard to
iron fabrics.
1. Ensure the tank is at least ¼ full of
water.
2. Press the spray button during ironing
to release a fine mist from the spray
nozzle.
The safety auto-off feature
(Model SR4310 only)
The safety auto-off mechanism
automatically turns the iron off if you
forget.
The iron will automatically shut off if left
on the heel rest (vertical) for 15 minutes,
or in the ironing position (horizontal) for
30 seconds, without being moved.
The thermostat light on the handle will
flash and a warning beep will sound to
let you know that you have left the iron
unattended.
Power to the iron's heating element will
be cut.
Once the iron is moved the power will
reconnect. Allow the iron to heat until the
thermostat light goes out, and continue
ironing as normal.

Care and Cleaning
After each use
1. Turn the power off and remove the
plug from the power outlet.
2. Allow the iron to cool before winding
the cord around the built-in cord wrap.
Storage
Always store the iron on its heel rest.
NOTE: Do not store the iron with the
soleplate facing down, or in the carton.
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe over
with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry.
Caution: Do not use harsh abrasives,
chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the
exterior of your iron as these will damage
the surface.
To clean the steam holes
To remove build up from the steam holes
which may affect steam performance, use
a cotton wool tip moistened in methylated
spirits.
Cleaning the Teflon® Select non-stick
soleplate (SR4210 & SR4310)
The non-stick coating reduces sticking
of fabrics and starches to the soleplate.
Do not iron over sharp objects such as
buttons, studs and zippers, as these will
scratch the surface.
Wipe the soleplate with a damp soft cloth
after each use. If polyester has burnt to
the soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth
while hot.
Caution: Do not use scouring pads,
abrasives or harsh cleaners to clean
your Teflon
as these may scratch and damage the
surface.
Cleaning the Glide Polished Aluminium
(SR4110)
Rub gently with a stainless steel soap pad
moistened in warm water. Wipe dry.

Ironing Tips and Tricks
Tip # 27 - Iron shirts like a pro
Start with the collar, working from the
outer edges into the middle. Iron the
shoulder next, followed by the cuffs and
sleeves. Place the collar at the narrow end
of the board so that one front panel of the
shirt is extended flat. Iron the front panel
from shoulder to shirt tail. Rotate to iron
the back of the shirt. Rotate and complete
the remaining front panel.
Tip # 34 - Tips for T-shirts
Straighten seams on t-shirts before
hanging out to dry. To avoid damage to
printed graphics and logos turn the t-shirt
inside out and iron the reverse side of
the print. Never iron areas of your t-shirt
where perspiration marks are visible as the
heat of the iron will permanently fix the
stain.
Tip # 54 - Hung out to dry
When washing is complete, remove shirts
from the machine immediately, shake
them out and hang them on coat hangers
to air dry – this will keep wrinkles to a
minimum.
Tip # 18 - Selecting the right temperature
If you are unsure of the correct setting
for a particular garment, test a small area
such as a seam or inside hem before
ironing a visible area. Start with a low
temperature and slowly increase the heat
to find the best setting.
Tip # 33 - Don’t be afraid to iron silk
Don’t be afraid to iron silk. Although
delicate in appearance, silk is the
strongest and most resilient of all natural
fibres. To achieve the best results, set to
a low cotton setting and use regular shots
of steam. Always use a pressing cloth to
avoid shine marks.
Tip # 13 - Ironing the seam
Always press seams in the same direction
they were made. When a garment is
produced, the fibres will naturally settle
in the direction they were initially pressed,
so it’s best not to iron against the grain.
Tip # 26 - Sort types of fabric
Sort articles to be ironed according to the
type of fabric. This will reduce the need
to adjust the temperature constantly. Start
with articles requiring lower temperatures
and work your way through to items
requiring higher settings.
Tip # 2 - Summer frocks and frills
Steam is the key when ironing delicate
summer fabrics such as muslin, cotton
and linen. Don’t press down with the iron,
simply hover above the garment and steam
it using a vertical shot of steam. Ruffling,
netting, tulle or intricate hand detailing is
also best ironed using this method.
Tip # 5 - Pressing your winter woollies
Steam is crucial when pressing your
winter woollies. Woollen garments can be
hung and steamed using the vertical shot
of steam feature. After steaming, brush
the garment with your hand to plump up
woollen fibres. If ironing the garment flat
it is best to use a pressing cloth. Don’t be
afraid to apply pressure – steam and hold.
Tip # 42 - Table settings to impress
To avoid unwanted creases always iron
your table cloth after taking it out of the
cupboard. A dinner party is a special
occasion, so treat the table cloth as you
would your own outfit. For best results, lay
towels across your table and iron the table
cloth over the towels. This will save you
time and ensure a beautifully presented
table setting.
