Sunbeam GCSBBV-39X Series Classic Iron Owner’s Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

Only use an iron for its intended use.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
Always turn the iron to “Off” before plugging or unplugging the iron from the electrical outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull on the plug to disconnect the iron.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting the iron away. Coil the cord loosely around the iron when storing.
Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet before filling the iron with water, emptying the water from the iron, and when the iron is not in use.
Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or in the event the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the iron. Take it to a qualified service center for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly or repair might result in a risk of electric shock, a risk of fireor injury to person when the iron is used after reassembly or repair.
Close supervision is required for any appliance used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while the iron is connected or on an ironing board.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a STEAM IRON upside down – there might be hot water in the reservoir.
In the event the iron is not operating properly, disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet and have the iron serviced by qualified service personnel.
This iron must not be left unattended while it is connected to the supply mains.
The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button.
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, be careful when filling a hot iron with water. Hot metal parts, hot water and steam can cause injuries.

DRY IRONING

Make sure the Steam Dial is turned to the (Dry) setting.
Plug the cord into a 120-Volt AC outlet.
Turn the large Fabric Select Dial to the fabric setting you desire. Allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes. While the iron is heating, make sure it is sitting on its heel rest on a stable, protected surface.

NOTE: While the Steam Dial is turned to the (Dry) setting, you may still use the SPRAY MIST® feature, as long as the Fabric Select Dial is set to wool, cotton, or linen. Please make sure the water reservoir is approximately ¼ full of water.

STEAM IRONING

Follow the instructions for “Filling the Water Reservoir.”
Plug the cord into a 120-Volt AC outlet.
Turn the Fabric Select Dial to the fabric setting you desire. Allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes. While the iron is heating, make sure it is sitting on its heel rest on a stable, protected surface.

IMPORTANT: When not ironing, always set the Steam Lever to (Dry) and the Fabric Select Dial to MIN.

USING THE IRON’S SPECIAL FEATURES

Spray Mist® Feature is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the
fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting
creases.

30 MINUTE TIMED AUTO-OFF

When the iron is plugged in, the Auto-Off feature will activate in any position after 30 minutes. Once the Auto-Off activates, the power indicator light will turn off and the iron stops heating.

If you do NOT want to iron any longer, unplug the iron and move the Variable Steam Lever to (Dry) and the Fabric Select to Off.

WARNING: The Auto-Off is a safety feature and is not a recommended means for turning your iron off. See “Caring for Your Iron After Use.

CARING FOR YOUR IRON AFTER USE

TURNING OFF YOUR IRON: Turn the Steam Dial to (Dry) and Fabric Select Dial to MIN and unplug the iron from the power source.

WARNING : NEVER yank the power cord when unplugging the iron. This can damage the cord.

STORING YOUR IRON

Turn off iron following instructions above. Allow the iron to cool.
Always empty the water reservoir after each use for a longer iron life. To do so, turn OFF iron as noted above, rotate the iron upside down, and allow water to flow from the fill hole. Shake the iron gently to remove trapped water drops.
Loosely loop the power cord around the heel rest and store the iron on its heel rest.

IMPORTANT: Wrapping the cord around the iron too tightly can damage the cord.

MAINTAINING YOUR IRON

CLEANING THE SOLEPLATE: Turn off iron following instructions above.

Clean the soleplate if starch or other residue accumulate.

TO CLEAN THE SOLEPLATE : Allow the iron to cool and then wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.

WARNING: Do not immerse in liquids. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or vinegar to clean the soleplate. This will damage the finish. Run the iron over an all-cotton cloth to remove any residue.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE: You should use the Self-Cleaning feature once a month to maintain the optimal performance of your iron.

TO USE THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE:

Turn off iron following instructions above.

Fill the water reservoir with tap water to the MAX line.
Plug in the iron, set the Fabric Select Dial to Linen and allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes.
Unplug the iron.
Hold the iron over a sink in a horizontal position. WARNING: Be careful not to touch the iron’s hot surfaces.
Slowly rock the iron side to side and front to back for 30 seconds. When rocking the iron, dip the nose of the iron slightly below the rear of the iron to make certain the water circulates completely.
After 1 minute, turn the iron upside down, and allow the remaining water to flow out of the fill hole.
Dry the soleplate with a towel.
Plug in the iron and set the Fabric Select Dial to Linen. Let the iron heat for 2 minutes to dry out the iron completely.
Set the Fabric Select Dial to MIN, unplug the iron, and allow it to cool.
