Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
Sunbeam is very safety conscious when designing
and manufacturing consumer products, but it is
essential that the product user also exercise care
when using an electrical appliance. Listed below
are precautions which are essential for the safe use
of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
unless this cord has been checked and tested by
a qualified technician or service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of
the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their

return the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam
Appointed Service Centre for examination, repair
or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend
the use of a residual current device (RCD)
with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in
the electrical circuit supplying power to your
appliances.

other liquid unless recommended.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON
• Do not leave a hot iron within reach of
children. If they come into contact with a hot
iron it could lead to serious burns.
• Iron only on an ironing board. Do not place the
steam generator on carpet during use.
• The steam generator must not be stored whilst
it is connected to the supply. The electronic
switch provided is for functional use only
during operation, and is not intended to
provide disconnection from the supply.
Before storing the iron after use, it must be
unplugged from the supply.
• The steam generator takes approximately 2
hours to completely cool down. Allow the steam
generator to cool completely before storing.
• Do not wind the cord around the soleplate
while the iron is still hot.
• Do not leave the steam generator unattended
while it is plugged into the power outlet.
• The steam generator must be used and rested
on a stable surface. When placing the steam
generator on a stand, ensure that the surface
on which the stand is placed is stable.
• The steam generator is not to be used if it has
been dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
• This steam generator features an “auto-off”
function, which is an additional safety feature
designed to disconnect power to the heating
element if the steam generator has not been
used for a certain period of time.
