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 tank with water
Before filling the tank with water, ensure
that the power is turned off and the plug is
removed from the power outlet. The tank can
be filled with water while the iron is hot.
Lift the water tank cover. Using a jug with
a pouring spout, slowly pour water into the
inlet. Close the cover.
Note: 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
retail outlets. This produces up to 30 litres
of demineralised water to prolong the life of
your iron.
Caution: Do not fill the water tank 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. Place both the boiler and the iron switches
in the on position. Both switches will
illuminate. The steam ready indicator will
turn on and off several times during the
first minute.
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. Rotate the variable steam dial on the base
to select the desired steam level. When the
green steam ready indicator light 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.
