Sunbeam 3891 - Manual (Page 8)

Filling the water reservoir
You must fill the water reservoir with water to use
the Spray Mist and Shot of Steam features and to
get steam out of your iron.
Tip: Sunbeam tests each iron at the factory to
ensure that they function correctly. The test may
leave a small, harmless amount
of
water within the
water reservoir.
Before you fill the water reservoir, please consider
the following:
While this iron was designed for use with tap
water, very hard water will reduce the performance
of the iron. If your water is very hard, Sunbeam
recommends that you use tap water the first time,
then consider using demineralized or distilled
water for subsequent use. You should use tap
water once a month, however, to maintain the
iron’s optimal steam performance.
Do
not use water that has passed through a home
water softening system. This type of water contains
minerals that will decrease the performance and
shorten the life of your iron. Use demineralized or
distilled water, instead.
Important:
When not ironing, always set the Steam
control and the Fabric Select dial to OFF.
To fill the water reservoir:
1. Make sure the iron is unplugged and that both
the Fabric Select dial and the Steam control are
set to OFF.
