Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON
• Do not leave a hot iron within reach of
children. If they come into contact with a hot
iron it could lead to serious burns.
• Iron only on an ironing board.
• An iron takes approximately 30 minutes to cool
down. Allow the iron to cool completely before
storing.
• Do not wind the cord around the soleplate
while the iron is still hot.
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 carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and before
cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked and
tested by a qualified technician or service
person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the
appliance.

Using your Sunbeam Verve 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
re filling the iron with water ensure the
Befo
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 Verve iron without
affecting the steam performance. However in
very hard water areas, Sunbeam recommends
the use of distilled water, or wate
been demineralised.
For best performance, we recommend the use
of Sunbeam Demineralised Water, available
from selected retailers. Use as a direct
replacement for tap water to prolong the life
of your iron.
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.

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.
