STEAM IRONING
1. Follow the instructions for “Filling the Water Reservoir” on Page 6.
2. Plug the cord into a 120-Volt AC outlet.
3. Turn the small Steam dial to the appropriate setting.
4. Turn the large Fabric/Temperature dial to the fabric setting you desire (Synthetic, Silk, Linen,
Cotton or Wool). 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.
TIP: Refer to the Ironing Guide on Page 10 for the recommended setting for your fabric.
5. The Temperature Indicator Light will go off when iron reaches appropriate temperature.
HOW TO USE THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
SPRAY MIST
®
The SPRAY MIST
®
feature dampens the fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and
for setting creases. To use the SPRAY MIST
®
feature: Press the SPRAY MIST
®
button firmly.
AUTO-OFF
After 30 minutes, the power indicator light will flash steadily. This indicates that the iron is no
longer heating.
To restart the iron, unplug the power cord and plug it back in. If you do NOT want to iron any
longer, unplug the iron. Then turn the small Steam dial to Dry/O and the large
Fabric/Temperature dial to Off/O.
WARNING: Auto-Off is a safety feature and is not a recommended means for turning your iron
off. See “Caring for Your Iron After Use” on Page 8.
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/O and the
Fabric/Temperature dial to Off/O.
To fill the water reservoir:
1. Make sure the iron is UNPLUGGED and that the large Fabric/Temperature dial is set
to Off/O and the small Steam dial is set to Dry/O.
2. Hold the iron at an angle.
3. Fill the water reservoir with tap water until it reaches the maximum fill level.
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. Turn the small Steam dial to the Dry/O setting.
3. Turn the large Fabric/Temperature dial to the fabric setting you desire (Silk or
Synthetics). 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.
TIP:
Refer to the Ironing Guide on Page 10 for the recommended setting for your fabric.
