IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against the 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 the outlet. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting it away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
• Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water, cleaning or emptying, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the 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.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the 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 hot water in the reservoir.
•  If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect it from the power supply and have the iron serviced by an authorized service center. Or call Customer Service at 1.800.458.8407. iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron unattended. ®
• Your SUNBEAM Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.

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 qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Special Features

Spray Mist® Feature
is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases. TO USE: Squeeze the SPRAY MIST® Trigger firmly. Shot of Steam® Feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration of stubborn wrinkles. You can use this feature while drying or Steam ironing as long as the Fabric Select Dial is set to wool, cotton, or linen. The water reservoir must be at least ¼ full of water.

TO USE:
Place the iron on top of the wrinkle and press the Shot of Steam® button each time you would like an extra burst of steam. The Shot of Steam® feature may be used continuously in approximately 3-second intervals. Vertical Shot of Steam® Feature allows iron to function vertically as a garment steamer. TIP: When using vertical steam, hang clothing on a hanger for best results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.

TO USE:

1. Ensure that the iron is heated up and the Ready indicator light has turned green.
2. Hold the iron vertically near, but not touching the fabric you want to steam. Pull the fabric tight.
3. Press Shot of Steam® button in 3-second intervals as you move the iron over wrinkles. WARNING: To prevent burns, keep hands away from the area being steamed. WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.

3-Way Motion Smart® Auto-Off Feature

This feature automatically turns the iron off if left in one position too long to avoid accidents. IF YOU LEAVE IRON ON:

• Horizontally without moving it, or accidentally tipping the iron over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. The light turns red when auto-off activates and blinks.
• Vertically (on its heel rest) without moving it, the iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. The light turns red when auto-off activates and blinks.

IMPORTANT: When the auto-off feature has been activated, the unit will beep 6 times and the indicator light will blink. TO RESET: Move the iron back and forth and reheat until the “Ready” indicator light turns green.

Storing Your Iron 

1. Turn off the iron, unplug it, and allow it to cool.
2. Empty the water reservoir after each use.
3. Loosely loop the power cord around the heel rest and store the iron on its heel rest. IMPORTANT: Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly can damage the cord.

Maintenance And Cleaning

Before cleaning the Iron, always make sure that it is disconnected from the electrical wall socket and is completely cool.

SOLEPLATE

• The residue on the Soleplate can be wiped off with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and vinegar.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives, or chemical cleaning solvents as they may damage the finish.

HOUSING

• The housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and then wiped dry.
• Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. If for any reason your Steam Iron should require repairs, do not try to fix it yourself. Send it to a Sunbeam Authorized Service Center.

TO USE THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE:

1. Turn OFF as noted above. Move the Steam Lever back and forth from Off (Dry) several times to remove debris and minerals from the Steam Valve. This keeps water flowing into the steam chamber.
2. Fill the water reservoir with tap water to the MAX line.
3. Set the Fabric Select Slide to LINEN.
4. Plug the iron into a power outlet and allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the Fabric Select Slide to MIN and unplug the iron.
6. Hold the iron over a sink in a horizontal position. Warning: Be careful not to touch the iron’s hot surfaces.
7. Press the self-clean button and hold. Water will begin dripping from the steam vents. To make sure that all of the water is removed from the tank, slowly iron side to side and front to back for 30 seconds. When rocking the iron, dip the nose of the iron slightly below the rear of the iron to make certain the water circulates completely. Release the self-clean button after one minute.
   Turn the iron upside down and allow the remaining water to flow out of the fill hole.
8. Dry the soleplate with a towel.

Anti-Calcium System
Anti-calcium is a permanent system located inside the water reservoir to eliminate impurities.
To Prolong Efficiency, Follow These Steps Once a Month or After Every 30 Uses:

1. Turn off the iron.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to ¾ cup water and fill the water reservoir with this solution.
3. Leave the solution in a water reservoir for 15 minutes, shaking occasionally, and then empty through the fill hole or the “clean method”.
4. Fill the water reservoir again with salt water solution, shake, and empty after 15 minutes.
5. Fill the water reservoir with fresh water to rinse and empty.

Ironing Tips

• Before ironing, check the garment label and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no instructions, start with a low-heat setting and test by ironing a small area, and gradually increasing the heat.
• Sort garments by fabric type. Iron articles require a low-temperature setting and gradually work up the temperature range.
• When changing from a high-temperature setting to a lower one, allow 5 minutes for change.
• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric to allow the steam to penetrate the fabric and the heat of the soleplate to dry the moisture.
• Iron linen garments inside out to prevent shine. An ironing cloth or cotton fabric can be used to reduce shine.
• If the garment is lined, use a low heat setting.
• Ensure zippers are closed and the flap is flat. Iron over the flap, holding the garment taut.
• Spray starch makes the job easier.

IRONING SHIRTS

• Begin with the collar and work toward the middle from the outer edges. Iron lengthwise, not in circles.
• Lay your shoulder over the narrow edge of the board and iron one side of the front. Then iron the shoulder, across the back (below the collar line), the other shoulder, and the remainder of the front.
• Iron sleeves and cuffs, working down from the underarm seams. To remove creases, shift the double layer of sleeve fabric and iron out.
• Iron body of the garment, from half of the front around the back, then the second half of the front. If your shirt does not open, slip over the end of an ironing board and iron front and back in turn.

IRONING PANTS

• Begin with the waistband and inseam area, then pockets and cuffs.
• Pull the waistband on the pointy end of the board, as if you’re “dressing” the ironing board. Iron the upper front part of the pants, including the waistband.
• Place pants parallel to the ironing board lengthwise so both legs are facing the same direction. Iron each leg by moving the iron back and forth along the pant leg.
• Take the cuff of the leg and bring it over towards the waistband to iron the inner part of the leg. Repeat these 2 steps for the second leg.
