Sunbeam SR8700 manual Using your Pro Glide Plus 8700 Steam Generator, Before first use

Using your Pro Glide® Plus 8700 Steam Generator

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.

NOTE: Ensure the steam generator is always used and rested on a stable surface. Do not move or shake the base unit during use.

NOTE: Sunbeam recommend using the SR8700 steam generator with the SB8300 Couture Ironing board which has a metal tray underneath the board specifically designed for steam generators. This is available from selected retailers.

Filling the steam generator tank with water

The tank can be removed and refilled from the tap or using a jug through the water inlet. Do not exceed the maximum water level indicator. Ensure the water inlet is closed and the water tank is firmly in position.

NOTE: The boiler will not activate until the water tank is in the correct position. If the low water indicator remains illuminated when the tank has been replaced, slide the tank out and firmly reinsert to ensure it is in the correct position.

NOTE: The non-corrosive stainless steel boiler has been designed to allow you to use tap water in your professional ironing system. 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 or Sunbeam Demineralised Water available from selected retailers.

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.
