Sunbeam SR8500 - Manual (Page 6)

Before first use
Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic covers
or cardboard sleeves from the soleplate.
Remove any remaining adhesive by rubbing
the soleplate with a cloth dampened with
methylated spirits.
Filling the tank with water
Before filling the tank with water, ensure that
the power is turned off and the plug is
removed from the power outlet. The tank can
be filled with water while the iron is hot.
Lift the water tank cover. Using a jug with a
pouring spout, slowly pour water into the
inlet. Close the cover.
Note: The non-corrosive stainless steel boiler
has been designed to allow you to use tap
water in your professional ironing system.
However, in very hard water areas, Sunbeam
recommends the use of distilled or
demineralised water. For best performance,
we recommend the use of Sunbeam Water
Demineraliser, available from Sunbeam
Service Centres and selected retail outlets.
This produces up to 30 litres of
demineralised water to prolong the life of
your iron.
Caution: Do not fill the water tank with fabric
conditioners, starches, scented water, or any
other solution, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated
water.
Using your professional ironing system
1.Insert the plug into a 230/240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
2.Place both the boiler and the iron switches
in the on position. Both switches will
illuminate. The steam ready indicator will
turn on and off several times during the
first minute.
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.
3.Turn the temperature dial on the iron to
the desired setting. The thermostat light
will illuminate to indicate that the iron is
heating. It will go out once the iron has
reached the selected temperature.
Note: when changing the temperature dial
from a higher setting to a lower setting,
allow the iron to cool for at least 2 minutes
before continuing ironing.
4.Rotate the variable steam dial on the base
to select the desired steam level. When the
green steam ready indicator light comes on
and stays illuminated, you can commence
ironing.
Before using steam on a garment, direct a
shot of steam into the air to release any
remaining condensation.
