Using your Sunbeam Pro Steam 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 while it is hot.
Place the iron on its heel and open the water inlet cover.
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 Pro Steam iron without affecting the steam performance. However in very hard water areas, Sunbeam recommends the use of distilled water, or water which has been demineralised.
For best performance, we recommend the use of Sunbeam Water Demineraliser, available 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
1.Insert the plug into a 230/240 volt power outlet and turn the power on.
2.Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting by aligning the setting on the dial with the temperature indicator. The thermostat light (positioned on the top of the handle) will illuminate to indicate that the iron is heating to the selected temperature. When the thermostat light goes out the iron has reached 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.
Dry ironing
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
3.Select DRY on the steam dial. This will cut off the steam flow if there is water in the tank.
Steam ironing
