Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON  
• Do not wind the cord around the soleplate  
while the iron is still hot.  
• Do not leave the iron unattended while it is  
plugged into the power outlet.  
• Do not leave a hot iron within reach of  
children. If they come into contact with a hot  
iron it could lead to serious burns.  
• Iron only on an ironing board.  
• Always unplug the iron from the power outlet  
before filling or emptying the water tank.  
• An iron takes approximately 30 minutes to cool  
down. Allow the iron to cool completely before  
storing.  
Sunbeam is very safety conscious when  
designing and manufacturing consumer products,  
but it is essential that the product user also  
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.  
Listed below are precautions which are essential  
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:  
• Read carefully and save all the instructions

Using your Sunbeam Pro Steam Iron  
Before first use  
Using your iron  
Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic covers  
or cardboard sleeves from the soleplate.  
Ensure that all adhesive is removed by  
rubbing the soleplate with a cloth dampened  
with methylated spirits.  
Fill the water tank and empty the water. This  
will rinse out any foreign particles remaining  
in the water tank from the manufacturing  
process.  
1.Insert the plug into a 230/240 volt power  
outlet and turn the power on.  
2.Turn the temperature dial to the desired  
setting by aligning the setting on the  
dial with the temperature indicator. The  
thermostat light (positioned on the top  
of the handle) will illuminate to indicate  
that the iron is heating to the selected  
temperature. When the thermostat light  
goes out the iron has reached the selected  
temperature and is ready to iron.  
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.  
NOTE: When the temperature dial is changed  
from a high setting to a lower temperature  
setting during ironing, the thermostat light  
will go out immediately. This indicates  
that the iron is cooling to the selected  
temperature. To ensure that the iron has  
reached the selected temperature and is not  
too hot, wait until the thermostat light comes  
on again and then goes out before ironing.  
Filling the iron with water  
Before filling the iron with water ensure the  
power is turned off and the plug is removed  
from the power outlet. The iron can be filled  
with water while it is hot.  
Dry ironing  
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.  
Place the iron on its heel and open the water  
inlet cover.  
3.Select DRY on the steam dial. This will cut  
off the steam flow if there is water in the  
tank.  
Slowly pour water into the water inlet until  
the maximum water level is reached. Do not  
exceed the maximum water level indicator.  
Push the water inlet cover firmly to close.  
Steam ironing  
NOTE: The special soleplate design allows you  
to use tap water with your Pro Steam iron  
without affecting the steam performance.  
However in very hard water areas, Sunbeam  
recommends the use of distilled water, or  
water which has been demineralised.  
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.  
NOTE: When steam ironing, ensure that the  
temperature dial is set to any temperature  
within the steam band and that the tank is at  
least ¼ full of water.  
3.Turn the steam dial to the desired steam  
setting.  
For best performance, we recommend the use  
of Sunbeam Water Demineraliser, available  
selected retailers. This will produce up to 30  
litres of demineralised water.  
Do not fill the iron with fabric conditioner,  
starches or any other solution as these will  
damage the steam mechanism. Do not use  
contaminated water.

Using your Sunbeam Pro Steam Iron (continued)  
Using the shot of steam  
NOTE: If the tank has run dry, it may be  
necessary to re-prime the pump after filling  
the iron with water.  
The shot of steam can be used whether dry  
or steam ironing when the temperature dial  
is set to any temperature above the two dot  
(••) setting.  
Using the spray mist  
The spray mist can be used whether dry  
or steam ironing to pre-dampen hard to  
iron fabrics.  
1. Ensure the tank is at least ¼ full of  
water.  
2. Select the desired temperature and wait  
until the thermostat light goes out.  
3. Press the shot of steam button several  
times with the iron on the soleplate to  
prime the pump.  
1. Ensure the tank is at least ¼ full of  
water.  
2. Press the spray button during ironing  
to release a fine mist from the spray  
nozzle.  
The safety auto-off feature  
(Model SR4300 only)  
The safety auto-off mechanism automatically  
turns the iron off if you forget.  
Once the iron is moved the power will  
reconnect. Allow the iron to heat until the  
thermostat light goes out, and continue  
ironing as normal.  
The iron will automatically shut off if left  
on the heel rest (vertical) for 15 minutes,  
or in the ironing position (horizontal) for 30  
seconds, without being moved.  
The thermostat light on the handle will flash  
and a warning beep will sound to let you  
know that you have left the iron unattended.  
Power to the iron's heating element will be  
cut.  
15 minutes  
30 seconds

Care and Cleaning  
After each use  
To clean the steam holes  
To remove build up from the steam holes  
which may affect steam performance, use  
a cotton wool tip moistened in methylated  
spirits.  
1. Turn the power off and remove the plug  
from the power outlet.  
2.Allow the iron to cool before winding the  
cord around the built-in cord wrap.  
Cleaning the Teflon® Select non-stick soleplate  
(SR4200 & SR4300)  
The non-stick coating reduces sticking of  
fabrics and starches to the soleplate. Do  
not iron over sharp objects such as buttons,  
studs and zippers, as these will scratch the  
surface.  
Storage  
Always store the iron on its heel rest.  
NOTE: Do not store the iron with the soleplate  
facing down, or in the carton.  
Cleaning  
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe over  
with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry.  
Wipe the soleplate with a damp soft cloth  
after each use. If polyester has burnt to the  
soleplate, iron a damp cotton cloth while hot.  
Caution: Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical  
cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of  
your iron as these will damage the surface.  
Caution: Do not use scouring pads, abrasives  
or harsh cleaners to clean your Teflon® Select  
non-stick soleplate, as these may scratch and  
damage the surface.  
Cleaning the Polished Aluminium soleplate  
(SR4100)  
Rub gently with a stainless steel soap pad  
moistened in warm water. Wipe dry.

Ironing Tips and Tricks  
Tip # 27 - Iron shirts like a pro  
Tip # 13 - Ironing the seam  
Start with the collar, working from the outer  
edges into the middle. Iron the shoulder  
next, followed by the cuffs and sleeves. Place  
the collar at the narrow end of the board so  
that one front panel of the shirt is extended  
flat. Iron the front panel from shoulder to  
shirt tail. Rotate to iron the back of the shirt.  
Rotate and complete the remaining front  
panel.  
Always press seams in the same direction  
they were made. When a garment is  
produced, the fibres will naturally settle  
in the direction they were initially pressed,  
so it’s best not to iron against the grain.  
Tip # 26 - Sort types of fabric  
Sort articles to be ironed according to the  
type of fabric. This will reduce the need to  
adjust the temperature constantly. Start with  
articles requiring lower temperatures and  
work your way through to items requiring  
higher settings.  
Tip # 34 - Tips for T-shirts  
Straighten seams on t-shirts before hanging  
out to dry. To avoid damage to printed  
graphics and logos turn the t-shirt inside out  
and iron the reverse side of the print. Never  
iron areas of your t-shirt where perspiration  
marks are visible as the heat of the iron will  
permanently fix the stain.  
Tip # 2 - Summer frocks and frills  
Steam is the key when ironing delicate  
summer fabrics such as muslin, cotton and  
linen. Don’t press down with the iron, simply  
hover above the garment and steam it using  
a vertical shot of steam. Ruffling, netting,  
tulle or intricate hand detailing is also best  
ironed using this method.  
Tip # 54 - Hung out to dry  
When washing is complete, remove shirts  
from the machine immediately, shake them  
out and hang them on coat hangers to air dry  
– this will keep wrinkles to a minimum.  
Tip # 5 - Pressing your winter woollies  
Steam is crucial when pressing your winter  
woollies. Woollen garments can be hung and  
steamed using the vertical shot of steam  
feature. After steaming, brush the garment  
with your hand to plump up woollen fibres.  
If ironing the garment flat it is best to use  
a pressing cloth. Don’t be afraid to apply  
pressure – steam and hold.  
Tip # 18 - Selecting the right temperature  
If you are unsure of the correct setting for a  
particular garment, test a small area such as  
a seam or inside hem before ironing a visible  
area. Start with a low temperature and slowly  
increase the heat to find the best setting.  
Tip # 33 - Don’t be afraid to iron silk  
Tip # 42 - Table settings to impress  
To avoid unwanted creases always iron  
your table cloth after taking it out of the  
cupboard. A dinner party is a special  
occasion, so treat the table cloth as you  
would your own outfit. For best results, lay  
towels across your table and iron the table  
cloth over the towels. This will save you time  
and ensure a beautifully presented table  
setting.  
Don’t be afraid to iron silk. Although delicate  
in appearance, silk is the strongest and most  
resilient of all natural fibres. To achieve the  
best results, set to a low cotton setting and  
use regular shots of steam. Always use a  
pressing cloth to avoid shine marks.
