1. Allow the iron to cool.
2. If you do not use your iron on a daily basis, empty the water reservoir after each use for
a longer iron life. To do so, unplug the iron, turn the iron upside down, open the fill
hole cover, and allow water to flow from the fill hole. Shake the iron gently to remove
trapped water drops.
3. Loosely loop the power cord around the heel rest and store the iron on its heel rest.

To prolong the efficiency of this filter:
1. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool.
2. Locate the water cup that accompanied the iron. Fill it with water to the Sunbeam logo

with this solution.
3. Leave the solution in the water reservoir for 15 minutes, then empty it.

5. Fill the tank with fresh water to rinse and empty.
The Anti-Calcium System should be cleaned approximately once a month.
• Always read garment labels and follow the manufacturer's ironing instructions.
• Sort the articles to be ironed according to the type of fabric.
• You should first iron garments requiring low temperature (e.g., silks
and synthetics) to avoid damaging them with an iron that is too hot.
• If you are unsure of the fabric content of the garment, test a small area,
I
®
RON
such as a seam or facing, before ironing a visible area. Start with a low
temperature and gradually increase the heat to find the best setting.
• When changing the temperature from a high setting to a low setting,
allow approximately 5 minutes for the lower temperature to be reached.
• When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric. This will allow
the steam to penetrate the fabric while allowing the heat of the soleplate
to dry out the moisture.
• To iron linens, turn garment inside out. Be careful not to use an iron
that is too hot because the lining may melt or stick to the soleplate.
• To iron zippers, use an ironing cloth or make sure the zipper is closed
and iron over the flap. Never iron directly over an unprotected zipper.
• Use the Ironing Guide (on Page 8) to select the best setting
and method for the fabric you plan to iron.
