Using your Sunbeam Accura Iron
Before first use
2.Use the temperature +/- buttons to
select the desired temperature setting,
as displayed on the LCD. The bars on
the LCD will flash as the iron heats up
to the selected temperature setting. As
each incremental temperature is reached,
the bars will display solidly. The actual
temperature in degrees Celsius will also
be displayed on the LCD, in increments
of 5 degrees.
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
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
that 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.

2.Place the iron on its heel and open the
water inlet cover.
3.Using the beaker provided, slowly pour
water into the water inlet until the maximum
water level is reached. Do not exceed the
maximum water level indicator.

full of water.
Note: It is safe to use tap water in your Accura
iron. The anti-calc cartridge removes minerals
from the water, preventing scale build-up.
However, in extremely hard water areas
Sunbeam recommends the use of distilled or
demineralised water. Do not fill the iron with
fabric conditioner, starches or other solutions
as these will damage the steam mechanism.
Do not use contaminated water.
5.When changing from a high temperature to
a lower temperature, the red temperature
alert light will illuminate and the LCD will
flash indicating that the iron is cooling
down. To reduce the cooling period, turn
the steam dial to any position on the steam
band and press the shot of steam button.
Once the iron has reached the selected
temperature, the green temperature alert
light will illuminate and the bars on the LCD
will display solidly, indicating that the iron
is ready to use.
Using your iron
1.Insert the plug into a 230/240V power
outlet and turn the power on. The LCD
screen and the orange temperature alert
light (located between the temperature +/-
buttons) will illuminate to indicate that the
iron is switched on and heating.
Note: The Accurairon’s twin element
construction allows you to iron with maximum
steam, even on low temperature settings.
