When using your iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1. Use iron only for its intended use.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water
or other liquids.
3. The iron should always be turned to “O” before plugging or unplugging from outlet.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away.
5. Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and
when not in use.
6. 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 a qualified
serviceman for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk
of electric shock when the iron is used.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. If the flatiron is not operating normally, disconnect from the power supply
and contact your nearest authorized Sunbeam distributor.
10. Your SUNBEAM ® Iron is designed to rest on the heel. Do not leave the iron unattended.
Do not set the iron on an unprotected surface, even if it is on its heel rest.

1. This is a 1200-Watt appliance*. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10-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 not fit, contact your
nearest authorized Sunbeam distributor. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
* In Mexico, the iron runs at 127 Volts, 1350 Watts. If an extension cord is necessary,
a 13-Ampere cord should be used.
