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.
1. Turn the STEAM/DRY dial to DRY.
2. Place the iron on its heel and open the
water inlet cover.
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 Ultura 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
1. Insert the 3 pin plug into a 230/240 volt
power outlet and turn the power on. The
power ON light (positioned on top of the
handle) will illuminate to indicate that the
iron is on and heating.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the desired
setting by aligning the setting on the dial
with the temperature indicator light. The
boost light will illuminate to indicate
that the iron is heating to the selected
temperature. When the boost 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 boost 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
boost light comes on again and then goes out
before ironing.
