Slide the temperature selector to the MIN position. Unplug the iron from the electrical
outlet. Open the spill-proof cap. Holding the iron over the sink, point the iron handle
down and hold in that position until water stops flowing out of the fill opening. Shake
the iron gently to loosen trapped water drops; the heat of the iron will dry the inside
of the iron. Let the iron cool on its heel rest.
IMPORTANT: SUNBEAM DOES NOT RECOMMEND STORING THE IRON WITH
WATER IN THE TANK.

ARING FOR OUR UNBEAM RON
• Avoid ironing over snaps, zippers, rivets on jeans, etc., as they will scratch the soleplate.
• FOR MODELS WITH A NON-STICK SOLEPLATE, clean water marks, calcium deposits
and starch from the soleplate as follows: allow iron to cool and wipe with a soft cloth
using a mild vinegar solution (one tablespoon of vinegar in one cup of water).
DO NOT USE SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVES, OR CHEMICAL CLEANING SOLVENTS
as they may mar the finish.
NOTE: Scratches in non-stick soleplates do not affect performance of iron.

• The auto shut-off feature may have been activated. Press the power reset button
to start ironing.
Iron does not steam
• The water tank may be empty. Add water.
• Make sure the steam button is fully depressed. (On variable steam models,
the slide control must be in one of the three steam positions).

Make sure iron is pre-heated 1-1/2 – 2 minutes.
• Gently tap the soleplate on the ironing board once or twice to clear any blockage
of steam valve.
• Your iron may spit or leak water from the steam vents if you try to get steam when
the temperature setting is too low. Use only temperature settings in steam range
shown on the Temperature and Steam Guide.
Iron spits water or leaks water from steam vents
• Make sure iron has reached selected temperature before ironing. Pre-heat iron
1-1/2 – 2 minutes.
• If the iron leaks when turned OFF or while DRY ironing, make sure the steam control
is set to NO STEAM position.
• Iron may have been overfilled. Turn it off. Follow instructions for emptying the
water tank. Remove some of the water. Let iron cool, then dry it off. Replug iron
into electrical outlet and reheat. After 1-1/2 minutes, set to "steam".
