Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
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.

Features of your Sunbeam
Verve Iron
Powerful shot of steam
Pressing the shot of steam button instantly
produces a powerful shot of steam to remove
stubborn wrinkles.
Vertical shot of steam
Pressing the shot of steam button with the iron
in an upright position produces a vertical shot of

Safety auto-off
The iron automatically switches itself off if
left in the ironing position (horizontal) for 30
seconds, or in the heel rest position (vertical)
for 15 minutes. (For more information on the
safety auto off feature see page 7).
Power light
Illuminates to indicate that the iron is
connected to the power outlet and the power
is turned on.
Thermostat light
Illuminates to indicate that the iron is
heating and goes out when it has reached the
temperature selected on the temperature dial.
The thermostat light cycles on and off during
ironing as the iron maintains the selected
temperature.
Stable heel rest
Extra large heel rest keeps the iron stable on
the ironing board.
Cord wrap
The built-in cord wrap facility allows you to
wind the cord around the heel for neat and
tidy storage of the cord when the iron is not
in use.
Concentric steam and temperature dials
The steam and temperature dials are
positioned together for easy adjustment.
Variable steam dial
Allows you to select the desired steam output
for each garment. Alternatively, select the DRY
setting to iron without steam.
Temperature dial
Allows you to select the desired temperature
for each garment. The adjustable temperature
dial also indicates the amount of steam
recommended for use on each temperature
setting.
Stainless steel soleplate
Sleek and smooth, stainless steel is
an excellent heat conductor and is
extremely durable and hard wearing.It
fea
tures a quality polished finish that is
easy to clean and care for.
Steam Dial
Temperature Dial
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
Befo
re 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 wate
r which has
been demineralised.
For best performance, we recommend the use
of Sunbeam Water Demineraliser, available
from selected retailers. This will produce up to
30 litres of demineralised water.
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 temperatu
re 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 iro
n 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.
For best results, select the steam setting
that corresponds to the selected temperature,
as indicated on the temperature dial.

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.
Using the shot of steam
The shot of steam can be used when dry
or steam ironing, when the temperature dial
is set to any temperature within the steam
band or 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 mecha
nism 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.(See figure 2).
The thermostat and power lights 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.

Storage
Always store the iron on its heel rest.
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 m
oistened in
methylated spirits.
Cleaning the Resilium
®
soleplate (SR6850)
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel soleplate
(SR6650)
Using a stainless steel or metal cleaner,
rub gently with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
Cleaning the Teflon

Platinum Pro
non-stick soleplate
(SR6250, SR6550)
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 may
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 Resilium
®
,
Teflon
®
Platinum Pro or Stainless steel
soleplate, as these will scratch and damage
the surface.

Care and Cleaning
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.
