• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons unless they have
been adequately supervised by a responsible
adult to ensure that they can use the appliance
safely.

a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been damaged in any manner. If damage is
suspected, return the appliance to the nearest
Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

Using your Professional Ironing
System
Before first use
Using your professional ironing system
Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic covers
or cardboard sleeves from the soleplate.
Remove any remaining adhesive by rubbing
the soleplate with a cloth dampened with
methylated spirits.
1.Insert the plug into a 230/240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
2.Place both the boiler and the iron switches
in the on position. Both switches will
illuminate. The steam ready indicator will
turn on and off several times during the
first minute.
Filling the tank with water
Before filling the tank with water, ensure
that the power is turned off and the plug is
removed from the power outlet. The tank can
be filled with water while the iron is hot.
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.
Lift the water tank cover. Using a jug with
a pouring spout, slowly pour water into the
inlet. Close the cover.
3.Turn the temperature dial on the iron to
the desired setting. The thermostat light
will illuminate to indicate that the iron is
heating. It will go out once the iron has
reached the selected temperature.
Note: Sunbeam recommends the use of
distilled or demineralised water. For best
performance, we recommend the use of
Sunbeam Water Demineraliser, available
from Sunbeam Service Centres and selected
retail outlets. This produces up to 30 litres
of demineralised water to prolong the life of
your iron.
Note: when changing the temperature dial
from a higher setting to a lower setting,
allow the iron to cool for at least 2 minutes
before continuing ironing.
Caution: Do not fill the water tank with fabric
conditioners, starches, scented water, or
any other solution, as these will damage the
steam mechanism. Do not use contaminated
water.
4.Rotate the variable steam dial on the base
to select the desired steam level. When the
green steam ready indicator light comes on
and stays illuminated, you can commence
ironing.
Before using steam on a garment, direct
a shot of steam into the air to release any
remaining condensation.

Using your Professional Ironing System (continued)
5.Press and hold the steam button to iron
with steam. When ironing for long periods,
the steam button can be locked-down,
eliminating the need to hold the button
during ironing. Press and slide the steam
button back towards the handle until it
locks into place.
Refilling the tank during ironing
When the water in the tank falls below the
minimum level, the red low water indicator
will illuminate, and the iron will stop
generating steam.
1.Before refilling the tank, switch the boiler
and iron switches to the off position.
Switch the power off at the power outlet
and remove the plug.
Note: The iron will continue to emit steam
until the steam button is released.
When you have finished ironing, push
the steam button forward and up until it
releases from the lock-down position.
2.Lift the water cover and fill the tank.
Replace the cover.
3.Insert the plug into the power outlet and
turn the power on.
To dry iron, do not press the steam
button. Both the steam ready indicator
and the thermostat light will cycle on and
off during ironing as the ironing system
maintains the selected steam pressure and
temperature levels.
4.Place the boiler and iron power switches in
the on position, and allow the appliance to
heat.
5.Recommence ironing when the thermostat
light goes out and the green steam ready
indicator is illuminated.
Note: To prevent water dripping from the
soleplate, only use the steam function on
higher temperature settings (
and above).
••
6.Once you have finished ironing, switch the
iron and boiler off by moving both switches
to the off position. Switch the power off
at the power outlet and remove the plug.
Wait for the iron to cool completely before
storing. Do NOT empty the water tank.

Care and Cleaning
To clean the exterior of your professional
ironing system, wipe over with a damp soft
cloth and wipe dry.
To clean the stainless steel soleplate, use
a stainless steel or metal cleaner and rub
gently with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
Do NOT use harsh abrasives, chemical
cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of
your appliance, as these will damage the
surface.
Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or
harsh cleaners to clean your stainless steel
soleplate as these will scratch and damage
the surface.

Ironing Guide
Selecting the ironing temperature
• When reducing the temperature to iron
sensitive fabrics, allow approximately 2
minutes for the iron to cool to the new
setting.
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) can be
steam ironed with the temperature dial set
to Wool. Use an ironing cloth to prevent
shine marks on the fabric.
• Fabrics such as velour, wool, linen and silk
are best ironed with an ironing cloth to
prevent shine marks.
• Never iron areas of a garment where
perspiration marks are visible, as the heat
of the iron will fix the stains, making them
permanent.
Always read garment labels and follow
the manufacturer’s ironing instructions.
Refer to the ironing chart for temperature
recommendations.
Hints for easier ironing
• Sort articles to be ironed according to the
type of fabric. This will reduce the need
to adjust the temperature to suit varying
garments.
• Start with garments requiring lower
temperatures and work your way through to
items requiring higher temperatures.
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of
a garment, test a small area such as a
seam or inside hem section before ironing
a visible area. Start with a low temperature
and gradually increase the heat to find the
best setting for ironing the garment.
