Using your Sunbeam Travel Iron
Before first use
Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic covers or cardboard sleeves from the soleplate. Ensure that all adhesive is removed by rubbing the soleplate with a cloth dampened with methylated spirits. Fill the water tank and empty the water. This will rinse out any foreign particles remaining in the water tank from the manufacturing process.
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.
Filling the iron with water
Before filling the iron with water ensure the power is turned off and the plug is removed from the power outlet. The iron can be filled with water when hot.
1.Turn the STEAM/DRY dial to DRY.
2.Place the iron horizontally with the soleplate facing down and open the water inlet cover.
NOTE: Do not leave the iron unattended when the soleplate is facing down.
3.Slowly pour water into the water inlet until the maximum water level is reached. Do not exceed the maximum water level indicator. Push the water inlet cover firmly to close.
NOTE: The special soleplate design allows you to use tap water with your Travel iron without affecting the steam performance. However in very hard water areas, Sunbeam recommend the use of distilled water, or water which has been demineralised.
For best performance, we recommend the use of Sunbeam Water Klean, available from Sunbeam Service Centres and selected retailers. This will produce up to 30 litres of demineralised water.
Do not fill the iron with fabric conditioner, starches or any other solution as these will damage the steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated water.
Using your iron
Always ensure that the iron is set to the correct voltage for the country of use before plugging it into the power outlet.
NOTE: Using an incorrect voltage may cause serious harm to your appliance. Ensure that you are aware of the required voltage before entering a new country.
1.Using a five cent coin or similar, turn the dual voltage selector (located at the base of the iron) so that the inverted groove is aligned with the desired voltage setting.
(Figure 2 shows the voltage set to the

2.Insert the 3 pin plug into a power outlet and turn the power on.
3.Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting by aligning the setting on the dial with the temperature indicator. The thermostat light (positioned behind the temperature dial) will illuminate
to indicate that the iron is heating to the selected temperature. When the thermostat light goes out the iron is at the selected temperature and is ready to iron.
NOTE: When the temperature dial is changed from a high setting to a lower temperature setting during ironing, the thermostat light will go out immediately. This indicates that the iron is cooling to the selected temperature. To ensure that the iron has reached the selected temperature and is not too hot, wait until the thermostat light comes on again and then goes out before ironing.
