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

Read All Instructions Before Use

  • Use iron only for its intended use.
  • To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
  • The Fabric Select Dial and Steam Lever should always be turned OFF before plugging or unplugging from the outlet.
  • Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
  • Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before storing. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
  • Always disconnect the iron from the electrical outlet when filling with water, cleaning, emptying, or when not in use.
  • Do not operate the iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron.
  • Take it to an authorized service center for examination and/or repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when iron is used.
  • Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended while plugged in, turned on ,or on an ironing board.
  • Burns can occur from contact with hot metal parts, hot water,, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
  • If the iron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply and have the iron serviced by an authorized service center or call Customer Service at 1 800-458-8407.
  • Your SUNBEAM® iron is designed to rest on the heel rest. Do not leave the iron unattended.
  • Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on the heel rest.
  • This is a hhigh-wattageappliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
  • If an extension cord is 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.
  • For Products Purchased in the united tates and Canada
  • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IRONING TIPS

  • Before ironing, check the garment label and follow manufacturer’s instructions. If no instructions, sfert with a low-heat setting and test by ironing a small area, and gradually increase heat.
  • Sort garments by fabric type. Iron articles requiring a low-bemperature seting and gradually work up the temperature range.
  • When changing from a high-temperature setting to a lower one, alow 5 minutes for change.
  • When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric to allow the steam to penetrate the fabric and the heat of the soleplate to dry the moisture.
  • Iron linen garments inside out to prevent shine. An ironing cloth or cotton fabric can be used to reduce shine.
  • If the garment is lined, use a low heat setting.
  • Ensure zippers are closed and flap is flat. Iron over the flap, holding the garment taut
  • Spray starch makes the job easier.

IRONING SHIRTS

  • Begin with the collar and work toward the middle from the outer edges. Iron lengthwise, not in circles.
  • Lay shoulder over narrow edge of the board and iron one side of the front. Then iron the shoulder, across the back (below the collar line), the other shoulder and the remainder of the front.
  • Iron sleeves and cuffs, working down from the underarm seams. To remove creases, shift the double layer of sleeve fabric and iron out.
  • Iron body of garment, from half of the front around the back, then second half of front. If your shirt does not open, sip over end of ironing board and iron front and back in tum.

IRONING TIPS (continued)

IRONING PANTS

  • Begin with the waistband and inseam area, then pockets and cuffs.
  • Pull waistband on pointy end of the board, as if you’re “dressing the ironing board. Iron upper-front part of the pants, including the waistband.
  • Place pants parallel to ironing board lengthwise so both legs are facing the same direction. Iron each leg by moving the iron back and forth along the pant leg.
  • Take cuff of the leg and bring it over towards the waistband to iron the inner part of the leg. Repeat these 2 steps for the second leg.
