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 boiler with water when cold

Before filing the boiler with water, ensure that the power is turned off and the plug is removed from the power outlet.

Unscrew the boiler cap. Using the funnel provided, fill the boiler with 1 litre of water. Replace the boiler cap and tighten.

Note: The non-corrosive stainless steel boiler has been designed to allow you to use tap water in your professional ironing system. However, in very hard water areas, 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 retailers. This produces up to 30 litres of demineralised water.

Caution: Do not fill the boiler 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.Depress the iron and boiler on/off button to turn the appliance on.

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.The green steam ready indicator will turn on and off several times during the first minute. Once it 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.
