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,

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
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 Verve 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.
For best performance, we recommend
the use of Sunbeam Demineralised Water,
available from selected retailers.
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. The power
ON light (positioned on top of the handle)
will illuminate to indicate that the iron is
switched on and heating.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the desired
setting by aligning the setting on the
dial with the temperature indicator. The
thermostat light 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 use.
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.
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.

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 and Safe-Store
WARNING! Allow your iron to completely
cool before storing. Always store your iron
resting on its heel rest. Do not store your
iron resting on its soleplate. The Safe-
™
Heat indicator strip shows you
Store
when the soleplate of your iron has cooled
sufficiently to be safe to store.
If the strip is red, your iron is too hot.
When the words SAFE-STORE appear on
the strip against a solid black background,
the soleplate is at a safe temperature for
storing.
DO NOT REMOVE OR MOVE THE SAFE-STORE
HEAT INDICATOR STRIP AS THIS WILL
INTERFERE WITH ITS CORRECT OPERATION
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.
Cleaning 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 Resilium
The non-stick coating reduces sticking of
fabrics and starches to the soleplate.
Wipe the soleplate with a damp soft cloth
and wipe dry. 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
Resilium
and damage the surface.

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.
