IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned to “Off” before plugging or unplugging from outlet.

Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.

Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and

when not in use.

• Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged.

To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron. Take it to an authorized
service center for examination and/or repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.

• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.

Do not leave iron unattended while plugged in or turned on or on an ironing board.

• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam.
• Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be water in the

reservoir.

• If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the iron

serviced by an authorized service center.

• Your SUNBEAM

iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron

unattended. Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.

PECIAL

NSTRUCTIONS

• This is a 1200-Watt appliance.* To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another

high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used.

Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

RODUCTS

URCHASED IN THE

NITED

TATES

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

* In Mexico the iron runs at 127 Volts, 1350 Watts. If an extension cord is necessary

a 13-Ampere cord should be used.

making the iron easier to clean.

• 180° Tangle-Free Cord – Keeps the power cord off the fabric and out of your way,

whether you are right or left handed.

• SPRAY MIST

– Provides a fine mist of water to dampen fabrics for creases or to remove

wrinkles from heavy fabrics.

• Power “ON” Indicator Light – Lights while the iron is heating and turns off after

ILLING THE

ATER

ESERVOIR

You must fill the water reservoir with water to use the SPRAY MIST

feature 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 dial to Dry/O and

the Fabric/Temperature dial to Off/O.

ILL THE

ATER

ESERVOIR

1. Make sure the iron is UNPLUGGED and that the large Fabric/Temperature dial

is set to Off/O and the small Steam dial is set to Dry/O.

2. Hold the iron at an angle.

3. Fill the water reservoir with tap water until it reaches the maximum fill level.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, be careful when filling a hot iron with water.

Hot metal parts, hot water and steam can cause injuries.

RONING

1. Make sure the Steam dial is turned to the Dry/O setting.

2. Plug the cord into a 120-Volt AC outlet.

3. Turn the large Fabric/Temperature dial to the fabric setting you desire (Silk or Synthetics).

Allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes. While the iron is heating, make sure it is sitting on
its heel rest on a stable, protected surface.

TIP: Refer to the Ironing Guide on Page 7 for the recommended setting for your fabric.

RONING

IPS

•Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’

s ironing instructions.

•Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.

•Y

ou should first iron garments requiring low temperature(e.g., silks and synthetics)

toavoid damaging them with an iron that is too hot.

•If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area, such as a seam

orfacing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually

increase the heat to find the best setting.

•When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting, allow

approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.

•W

hen steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow the steam

topenetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.

•T

o iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron that is too hot

because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.

•T

o iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron

overthe

flap. Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.

•Use the Ironing Guide on Page English-7 to select the best setting and method for
