Sunbeam 3040 User manual

When using your iron, basic safety precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

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 iron 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 putting away.

Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.

Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet

when filling with water or emptying and 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 the iron

is used.

Close supervision is necessary for any appliance

being used by or near children. Do not leave

iron unattended while connected or on an

ironing board.

Burns can occur from touching 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

serwce

center.

lYour SUNBEAMa iron is

deslgned

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 its heel rest.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

lThis is a 1200.Watt 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

IO-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated

for less amperage may overheat. Care should be

taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be

pulled or tripped

over.

For products purchased in the United States

and Canada only

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 nor fit, contact a

qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this

safety feature.

Filling the Water Reservoir

You must fill the water reservoir with water to use

the SPRAY MIST8 and SHOT OF STEAM features

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:

lWhile 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

uon.

Use demineralized or

distilled water, instead.

Important:

When

not

ironing always set the Steam

Control and the Fabric Select dial to OFF.

To fill the water reservoir:

Make sure the Iron is unplugged and that both

the Fabric Select dial and the Steam Control are

set to OFF.

Slide the water reservoir cover open and hold

the iron at an angle.

Fill the water reservoir with tap water until it

reaches the maximum fill level (10 ounces).

WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, be careful

when filling a hot iron with water. Hot metal parts,

hot water and steam can cause injuries.

Close the water reservoir cover.

Extending the Power Cord:

Hold iron with one hand and grasp plug of

power cord with other hand.

Firmly pull power cord straight up to extend.

Do not allow children to use retractable cord

feature as the cord may cause injury.

Dry Ironing

Make sure that the Steam Control is set to OFF.

Plug the cord into a 102-Volt AC outlet.

The Power Indicator will light.

Turn the Fabric Select dial to the Dry ironing

fabric setting you desire (Silk or Synthetics)

and allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes.

While the Iron is heating, make sure it is sitting

on its

heel

rest on a stable, protected surface.

Tip: Refer to the Ironing Guide on Page 16

for

the recommended setting for your fabric.

Steam Ironing

Follow the instructions for “Filling the Water

Reservoir” on Page 5.

Plug the cord into a 120.Volt AC outlet.

The Power Indicator will light.

Turn the Fabric Select dial to the Steam ironing

and allow the iron to heat for 2 minutes.

While the iron is heating, make sure It is sitting
