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FabricSelectDialandSteamLever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storing.

Loopcordlooselyaroundironwhenstoring.

• Alwaysdisconnectironfromelectricaloutletwhenfillingwithwater,cleaning,

emptyingor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ironisused.

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

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

• Burnscanoccurfromcontactwith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.

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

havetheironservicedbyanauthorizedservicecenterorcallCustomer

Serviceat1-800-667-8623.

• 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the

heelrest.

• Thisisahighwattage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15-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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Products Purchased in the united states and canada

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
