• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• T he iron should always be turned to “ O ff” before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
N ever yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. L et iron cool completely before putting away.
L oop 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.
• C lose 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.

• T his 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.
C ords rated for less amperage may overheat. C are should be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

You must fill the water reservoir with water to use the SPR AY M IST
®
feature and to get
steam out of your iron.
T IP: Sunbeam tests each iron at the factory to ensure that they function correctly. T he test
may leave a small, harmless amount of water within the water reservoir. Before you
fill the water reservoir, please consider the following:
• W hile 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. T his type
of water contains minerals that will decrease the performance and shorten the life of your
iron. Use demineralized or distilled water, instead.
IM PO R T AN T : W hen not ironing, always set the Steam dial to Dry/O and
the Fabric/Temperature dial to O ff/O .
T O F IL L T H E W AT ER R ESERV O IR

• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
• You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks and synthetics)
to avoid 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
or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low temperature and gradually
increase the heat to find the best setting.
• W hen 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. T his will allow the steam
to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate to dry out the moisture.
• To 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.
• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed and iron
over the flap. N ever iron directly over an unprotected zipper.
• Use the Ironing G uide on Page E nglish-7 to select the best setting and method for
the fabric you plan to iron.
