Wben using your iron, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
l READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
l Use iron only for its intended use.
l To protect against risk of electric shock, do not
immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
l 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 pu11 to disconnect.
l Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let iron
coo1 completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
l Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet
when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use.
l 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.
l
Close supervision is necessary for any appliance
being
used by or near children. Do not leave
iron unattended while connected
or on an
ironing board.
l 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 hot water in the reservoir.

lIf the iron is not operating normally, disconnect
from the power supply and
have the iron
serviced by an authorized
service center.
lYour SUNBEAMe 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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
lThis is a 1400-Watt appliance.* To avoid
a circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
lIf an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
a
15-ampere cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
Care should be taken to
arrange the cord
so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
For products purchased in the United States
and Canada only
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance
has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than tbe

Filling the Water Reservoir
You must fil1 the water reservoir with water to use
the SHOT OF
STEAM@ feature and to get steam
out of your iron.
Tip:
SUNBEAM@ tests each iron at tbe factory to
ensure tbat they function correctly. The test may
leave a small, harmless amount of water within
tbe water reservoir.
Before you
fil1 the water reservoir, please consider
the following:
lWhile 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 demineraliied or distilled water
for subsequent use.
You should use tap water once
a month,
however, to maintain the iron’s optima1
steam performance.
lDo 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:
Wben not irofling, always set tbe Steam
Control to ZERO and the
Fabric Select Dial to MIN.
To fill the water reservoír:
1. Make sure the iron is unplugged. Set the Steam
Dial to ZERO and the Fabric

Ironing Tips
lAlways read garment labels and follow
the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
lSort the articles to be ironed according
to the type of fabric.
lYou should first iron garments requiring low
temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics) to avoid
damaging them with an iron that is too hot.
lIf you are unsure of the fabric content of the
garment, test a small area,
such as a seam or facing,
before ironing a visible area. Start with a low
temperature and gradually increase the heat to find
the best setting.
lWhen changing the temperature from a high setting
to a low setting, allow approximately
5 minutes
for the lower temperature to be reached.
lWhen steam ironing, use long, slow passes over
the fabric. This will allow the steam to penetrate
the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate
to dry out the moisture.
lTo 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.
lTo iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure
the zipper is closed and iron
over the flap.
Never iron directly
over an unprotected zipper.
lUse the Ironing Guide on Page 15 to select the best
setting and method for the fabric you plan to iron.
