Using your Professional Ironing System

Before first use

Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic covers or cardboard sleeves from the soleplate. Remove any remaining adhesive by rubbing the soleplate with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits.

Filling the tank with water

Before filling the tank with water, ensure that the power is turned off and the plug is removed from the power outlet. The tank can be filled with water while the iron is hot.

Lift the water tank cover. Using a jug with a pouring spout, slowly pour water into the inlet. Close the cover.

Note: Sunbeam recommends the use of distilled or demineralised water. For best performance, we recommend the use of Sunbeam Water Demineraliser, available from Sunbeam Service Centres and selected retail outlets. This produces up to 30 litres of demineralised water to prolong the life of your iron.

Caution: Do not fill the water tank with fabric conditioners, starches, scented water, or any other solution, as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated water.

Using your professional ironing system

1.Insert the plug into a 230/240V power outlet and turn the power on.

2.Place both the boiler and the iron switches in the on position. Both switches will illuminate. The steam ready indicator will turn on and off several times during the first minute.

Note: when turned on for the first time your new iron may give off vapours for up to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. It is safe, not detrimental to the performance of the iron and will not reoccur.

3.Turn the temperature dial on the iron to the desired setting. The thermostat light will illuminate to indicate that the iron is heating. It will go out once the iron has reached the selected temperature.

Note: when changing the temperature dial from a higher setting to a lower setting, allow the iron to cool for at least 2 minutes before continuing ironing.

4.Rotate the variable steam dial on the base to select the desired steam level. When the green steam ready indicator light comes on and stays illuminated, you can commence ironing.

Before using steam on a garment, direct a shot of steam into the air to release any remaining condensation.
