Sunbeam 183606 Instructions

I s
mportant aFeguarDs
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
r a I B u
eaD ll nstructIons eFore se
• Use iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against 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 to OFF before plugging or unplugging
from outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before storing. Loop cord loosely around
iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water, cleaning, emptying or when not in use.
• Do not operate 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 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 high wattage appliance. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely 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.

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.
c y I a u
arIng For our ron Fter se
TURNING OFF IRON: Turn Steam Lever to (Dry) and Fabric Select Dial to Off. Unplug.
WARNING: NEVER yank power cord when unplugging iron. This can damage the cord.
Empty water reservoir completely after each use.
s y I
torIng our ron
1. Turn off iron, unplug and allow to cool.
2. Empty water reservoir after each use.
3. Loosely loop the power cord around the heel rest and store the iron on its heel rest. IMPORTANT: Wrapping the
cord around the iron too tightly can damage the cord.

Before cleaning the Iron, always make sure that it is disconnected from the electrical wall socket and is completely cool.
SOLEPLATE
• Residue on the Soleplate can be wiped off with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and vinegar.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they may damage the finish.
HOUSING
• The housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and then wiped dry.
• Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. If for any reason your Steam Iron
should require repairs, do not try to fix it yourself. Send it to an Sunbeam Authorized Service Center.
TO USE THE SELF-CLEANING FEATURE:
1. Turn OFF as noted above. Move the Steam Lever back and forth from Off (Dry) several times to remove debris
and minerals from the Steam Valve. This keeps water flowing into the steam chamber.
2. Fill the water reservoir with tap water to the MAX line.
3. Set the Fabric Select Slide to LINEN.
4. Plug the iron into a power outlet and allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the Fabric Select Slide to MIN and unplug the iron.
6. Hold the iron over a sink in a horizontal position.
Warning: Be careful not to touch the iron's hot surfaces.
7. Press the self-clean button and hold. Water will begin dripping from the steam vents. To make sure that all of the
water is removed from the tank, slowly iron side to side and front to back for 30 seconds. When rocking the iron,
dip the nose of the iron slightly below the rear of the iron to make certain the water circulates completely. Release
self-clean button after one minute.
8. Turn the iron upside down and allow the remaining water to flow out of the fill hole.
9. Dry the soleplate with a towel.

1. Turn off iron.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to ¾ cup water and fill water reservoir with this solution.
3. Leave solution in water reservoir for 15 minutes, shake occasionally, and then empty through the fill hole or
through the "clean method".
4. Fill water reservoir again with salt water solution, shake and empty after 15 minutes.
5. Fill water reservoir with fresh water to rinse and empty.

• Before ironing, check the garment label and follow manufacturer's instructions. If no instructions, start 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-temperature setting and gradually work up the temperature range.
• When changing from a high-temperature setting to a lower one, allow 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, slip
over end of ironing board and iron front and back in turn.
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.
