Sunbeam LX Care After Each Use, Care And Maintenance, Non-Stick Finish, Steam Valve, Soleplate

Non-Stick Finish

(Some Models Only)

•The non-stick coating prevents sticking of fabrics and starch residue to the soleplate.

•To clean the soleplate, allow iron to cool and wipe with a soft cloth using a mild vinegar solution.

•Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they may damage the finish. NOTE: Scratches in the non-stick soleplate do not affect the performance of the iron.

CARE AFTER EACH USE

•Turn the steam dial to DRY.

•Unplug the iron from the power outlet.

•Empty the water tank by opening the water reservoir cover and turn the iron upside down to allow water to flow from the opening. Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops.

•Use cover and allow the iron to cool.

•Retract cord into cord reel. Always store iron on its heel rest.

•When not ironing, always set steam dial to DRY.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Steam Valve

The steam valve (attached to the variable steam dial) is removable for easy cleaning of lint and scale build up. Cleaning the steam valve is only necessary if you notice a reduction in steam performance. To remove the steam valve, empty the water tank and place iron on the soleplate. Turn the variable steam dial to CLEAN. The valve will “pop-up”. Pull up to remove the steam valve fully. Wipe the tip gently with a damp cloth to clean. To replace, align CLEAN with the indicator mark. Push down and rotate clockwise to DRY.

NOTE: Do not pour water into the steam valve hole.

Soleplate

If starch or other material clings to the irons soleplate, allow the iron to cool and wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ironing over snaps, zippers, rivets, etc., as they may scratch the soleplate.

Storage

Always store your iron on the heel rest. Never store with the soleplate facing down or in the carton. Always store your iron with the steam dial turned to DRY. Retract cord into cord reel.
