Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
Read all instructions
1. Use appliance only for its intended use.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other
liquids.
3. Always turn the appliance to “Off” before plugging or unplugging the appliance from the
electrical outlet. Never pull the cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away.
Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
5. Make sure unit is off, unplugged and allow it to cool completely before filling or cleaning.
6. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying,
and when not in use.
7. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or
damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair
the appliance, take it to a qualified service center for examination and repair. Incorrect
reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when
the appliance is used.
8. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
9. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you
turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
10. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance
before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button.
11. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit.
12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a cord with an ampere rating equal to or
greater than the maximum rating of the iron shall be used. A cord rated for less amperage
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock due to overheating. Care shall be taken to
arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or be tripped over.
13. When filling the water tank, watch for water that can drip onto the floor and cause you to
slip and fall.
14. Appliance may cause personal injury or be damaged if dropped.
15. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may
cause injuries or void your warranty.
16. To avoid personal injury and damage to the appliance, only add water to the water tank.
NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.
17. Care should be taken when using the appliance due to the emission of steam.
18. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

About Your Features
Operating Instructions
Heated press bar – Works like an iron soleplate to press wrinkles out.
Wide steam exit – Provides wide coverage of steam for your garments and fabrics.
Continuous Steam switch – gives you the option to steam on demand for up to 14
minutes of continuous steam.
Removable water tank with water inlet tube – Easy to remove for quick refills. A water
inlet tube inside the water transmits the water from the tank to steamer head. A loud
vibrating noise indicates that the water is low in the water tank and time to refill.
Red power indicator light – Lights up when unit is plugged in to an electrical outlet.
Red ready indicator light – Turns off to indicate the unit is ready for use.
FILLING WATER TANK
Warning: To avoid personal injury and damage to the unit, only add water to the water tank.
NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.
Note: Your Steamer is designed to be used with tap water. However, if you have hard water,
we recommend using distilled water for better results.
1. Place Steamer on a flat surface.
2. Hold the water tank with one hand while pulling the tank away from the steamer body.
3. Take the water tank to a sink. Pull the rubberized water-fill cover to open and pour tap
water from the tap into the water-fill opening until it reaches the Max water level in
water tank (Figure 2). If water spills outside of the tank, or within the center water tank
cavity, wipe it dry with a paper towel or cloth.

Warning: When filling the water tank, watch for water that can drip onto the floor and
cause you to slip and fall.
Tip: It is not necessary to have a full tank of water for the Steamer to generate steam.
For best results, just make sure the water tank is at least half full.
4. Close the water-fill cover, push the water tank into the steamer body until a ‘click’ sound
is heard.
Note: If you need to add water while steaming, unplug the steamer, wait until it cools
and follow above steps. If a loud vibrating noise is heard, then the water level is low and
needs to be refilled.

TIPS FOR APPLYING STEAM
• Improper use of the Steamer can cause property damage due to the steam. Always
read the instructions in this manual before using your Steamer.
• Do not operate the Steamer with an empty water tank. To add water during operation,
turn steamer off, wait for it to cool down then remove water tank and refill.
• Always read the fabric care labels to help determine fabric type to be steamed. If
unsure of fabric’s fiber, test a small hidden area, such as an inside seam or hem,
before steaming.
• For more difficult wrinkles, try steaming from the underside of the fabric.
• When steaming, touching fabric lightly with the steam nozzle can help in wrinkle
removal. It is important to make contact with the garment and/or fabric.
• Heavier fabrics require more steam.
• Only use water in the unit. Do not add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or
any other chemicals to the water that can cause damage to the appliance.
• Do not use steam against wall or doors.
• When hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door
with steam.
• After use, empty water tank by turning it upside down to ensure all water empties out
and avoid leaks.
• When steaming, move the steamer continuously over the item being pressed. Do not
keep steamer over an area for any period of time to avoid damage to the fabric.
