When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the
following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other
liquids.
3. 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.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use.
6. 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 a qualified
serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of
electric shock when the iron is used.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. If the flatiron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and
contact your nearest authorized Sunbeam distributor.
10. Your Sunbeam Iron is designed to rest on the heel. 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
1. This is a 1200 Watt appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. 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 cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
