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
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.
