Filling the Water Reservoir

You must fill the water reservoir with water to use
the SHOT OF STEAM
and to get steam out of your iron.
Tip: SUNBEAM tests each iron at the factory to
ensure that they function correctly. The test may
leave a small, harmless amount of water within
the water reservoir.
Before you fill the water reservoir, please consider the
following:
• While this iron was designed for use with tap water,
very hard water will reduce the performance of
the iron. If your water is very hard, SUNBEAM
recommends that you use tap water the first time,
then consider using demineralized or distilled water
for subsequent use. You should use tap water once a
month, however, to maintain the iron's optimal
steam performance.
• Do not use water that has passed through a home
water softening system. This type of water contains
minerals that will decrease the performance and
shorten the life of your iron. Use demineralized
or distilled water, instead.
Important: When not ironing, always set the Steam
lever to 0/OFF and the Fabric Select Dial to OFF.
To fill the water reservoir:
1. Lift the Water Fill Hole Cover. The cover does
have the ability to be removed and can be
carefully placed back into the placement grooves.
