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.
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
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
NOTE: When steam ironing, ensure that the
temperature dial is set to any temperature
within the steam band and that the tank is
at least ¼ full of water.
3. Turn the steam dial to the desired steam
setting.
