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.
NOTE:
Ensure the steam generator is
always used and rested on a stable
surface.
Filling the steam generator tank with water
Slide the water tank out and lift the
cover. Using a jug 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 and
slide the tank back into position.
NOTE:
The non-corrosive stainless steel
boiler has been designed to allow you
to use tap water in your professional
ironing system. However in very hard
water areas, Sunbeam recommends the
use of distilled water, or water which
has been demineralised.
For best performance, we recommend
the use of Sunbeam Water
Demineraliser, available from selected
retailers.
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.
