Filling the Water Reservoir
You must fill the water reservoir with water to use the SPRAY MIST
®
feature
and to get steam out of your iron.
Tip: Sunbeam tests each iron at the factory to ensure that they function
correctly. The test may leave a small, harmless amount of water within
the water reservoir.
Before you fill the water reservoir, please consider the following:
❑ While 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. 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: When not ironing, always set the Steam dial to DRY and
the Fabric Select dial to OFF.
To fill the water reservoir:
1. Make sure the iron is unplugged and that the Fabric Select dial is
set to OFF and the Steam dial is set to DRY. Fill the water reservoir
with tap water until it reaches the maximum fill level (4.4 ounces).
WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, be careful when filling a hot iron
with water. Hot metal parts, hot water and steam can cause injuries.
Dry Ironing
1. Plug the cord into a 120-Volt AC outlet.
2. Make sure that the Steam dial is set to Dry.
3. Turn the Fabric Select dial to the Dry ironing fabric setting you desire
(Silk or Synthetics) and allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes.
While the iron is heating, make sure it is sitting on its heel rest
on a stable, protected surface.
4. The Temperature Indicator Light will remain lit until iron reaches
appropriate temperature.
Tip: Refer to the Ironing Guide on Page 10 for the recommended setting
for your fabric.
