Sunbeam Classic Manuel D'instructions page 9

Always unplug the iron before filling. Push down or slide the button to
the DRY/FILL position. The water fill opening is located underneath the
spill-proof cap. Hold the iron with the cap open and fill to maximum fill line.
Replace the spill-proof cap on the iron. Be sure the cap is fully seated by
applying slight downward pressure. Wipe the exterior of the unit to dry off
any spillage.
Push down or slide button to the DRY/FILL position. Slide the temperature selector to
the OFF position. Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet. Open the spill-proof cap.
Holding the iron over the sink, point the iron handle down and hold in that position until
water stops flowing out of the fill opening. Shake the iron gently to loosen trapped water drops
The heat of the iron will dry the inside of the iron. Let the iron cool on its heel rest.
IMPORTANT: SUNBEAM DOES NOT RECOMMEND STORING THE IRON
1. Avoid ironing over snaps, zippers, rivets on jeans etc., as they will scratch the soleplate
2. If starch or other material clings to the ALUMINUM SOLEPLATE of the iron,
cool the iron and then clean as follows:
A. Make a thin paste of nonabrasive household cleaner and water on a soft cloth.
Gently rub surface to remove starch or residue build-up.
B. Fill iron, set temperature control to linen. Allow iron to heat up (approximately 2 minutes).
Push button down or slide switch to high steam setting. Allow to steam for a few minutes.
C. Iron over old cotton towel to remove paste from iron bottom and steam vents.
D. Should soleplate become scratched, most minor scratches can be removed using fine
steel wool. After buffing, follow steps B and C before ironing garments.
E. A hot iron cleaner may be used according to manufacturers instructions.
3. IF YOU HAVE A MODEL WITH A NON-STICK SOLEPLATE, clean water marks, calcium deposits
and starch from the soleplate as follows: allow iron to cool and wipe with a soft cloth using a
mild vinegar solution (one tablespoon of vinegar in one cup of water). DO NOT USE SCOURING
PADS, ABRASIVES, OR CHEMICAL CLEANING SOLVENTS as they may mar the finish.
N : Scratches in non-stick soleplates do not affect performance of iron.
