Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON
• Always unplug the iron from the power
outlet before filling or emptying the water
tank.
• The iron must be used and rested on a
stable surface.
• 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.
• The iron is not to be used if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
• An iron takes approximately 30 minutes to
cool down. Allow the iron to cool completely
before storing.
• This iron features an “auto-off” function,
which is an additional safety feature
designed to disconnect power to the heating
element if the iron has not been used for a
certain period of time.
• 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.
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

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
Features of your Sunbeam
Ultura Iron
Extreme shot of steam
Squeezing the shot of steam trigger instantly
produces a concentrated, high-pressure shot of
steam to remove stubborn wrinkles.
Vertical shot of steam
Squeezing the shot of steam trigger with the iron
in an upright position produces a vertical shot of
steam, which is ideal for steaming curtains and
suits, and removing creases from delicate fabrics.
Fine spray mist
Pressing the spray button provides a fine mist
spray to dampen hard-to-iron fabrics.
Water tank with easy-fill water inlet
Holds 300ml of water for continual high
steam performance without having to refill
the tank regularly.
O N
T
Drip-stop steam system
The drip-stop steam system automatically stops
water flowing to the steam chamber should the
temperature fall too low to generate steam.
This prevents dripping, even at low
temperatures.
Full length button groove
For ironing around buttons.
2400 watts for fast heat up
Provides faster initial heat up and rapid
heat recovery during ironing. The 2400W
element helps to maintain your selected
temperature, and provides superior shot
of steam output.
Resilium® non-scratch soleplate
Resilium® is a durable, scratch resistant surface
that provides a superior glide and prevents
rucking. Exclusive to Sunbeam, this premium
soleplate features 172 steam holes to maximise
steam distribution.

Digital thermostat
The digital thermostat provides precise
temperature control, allowing you to select
the exact temperature recommended for each
garment. It eliminates temperature overshoot
and minimises temperature fluctuations.
This ensures consistently superior results and
prevents scorching.
Temperature alert
The light located on the iron handle indicates
when the iron soleplate has reached the
selected temperature.
Green = ready to iron
Orange = heating up
Red = too hot, cooling down

Temperature control
Use the + and - buttons to select the desired
temperature setting for each garment, as
displayed on the LCD.
LCD screen
The illuminated LCD displays the selected
fabric setting.
Safety auto-off
The iron automatically switches itself off if
left in the ironing position (horizontal) for 30
seconds, or in the heel rest position (vertical)
for 15 minutes. (For more information on the
safety auto off feature see page 7).
Variable steam dial
Allows you to select the desired steam output
for each garment. Alternatively, select the DRY
setting to iron without steam.
Anti-calc
The built-in anti-calc cartridge removes
minerals from tap water to prevent scale build
up inside the soleplate and steam chamber,
prolonging the life of your iron.

Using your Sunbeam Solus® 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.
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.
1.Insert the plug into a 230/240 volt power
outlet and turn the power on. The LCD
screen and the orange temperature alert
light (located on top of the handle) will
illuminate to indicate that the iron is
switched on and heating.
2.Use the temperature +/- buttons to select
the desired temperature. The bars on the
LCD will flash as the iron heats up to the
selected temperature setting. As each
incremental temperature is reached the bars
will display solidly. When the temperature
alert light changes to green, the iron has
reached the selected temperature and is
ready to use.
NOTE: When the temperature is changed from
a high setting to a lower temperature setting
during ironing, the temperature alert light will
change to red. 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 temperature alert light illuminates green
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.
Place the iron on its heel and open the water
inlet cover.
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.
NOTE: The anti-calc cartridge and special
soleplate design allows you to use tap water
with your Solus 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.
Dry ironing
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
3.Select DRY on the steam dial.
This will cut off the steam flow if there
is water in the tank.
Steam ironing
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
NOTE: When steam ironing, ensure that the
temperature is set to the silk setting or above,
and that the tank is at least 1/4 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
from 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.

The 3-Way safety auto-off feature
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
temperature alert light illuminates green,
and continue ironing as normal.
The iron will automatically shut off if left
on the heel rest (vertical) for 15 minutes
without being moved, or in the ironing
position (horizontal) for 30 seconds, or if it
is knocked onto its side (See figure 2).
15 mins
Should you leave the iron unattended, the
LCD screen and the red temperature alert
light will flash, and a warning beep will
sound to let you know that the auto-off
function has been activated.
Power to the iron's heating element will be
cut and the iron will start to cool. After 30
seconds the frequency of the beep alarm will
decrease.

Care and Cleaning
After each use
Cleaning the steam holes
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.
To remove build up from the steam holes
which may affect steam performance,
use a cotton wool tip moistened in
methylated spirits.
Cleaning the Resilium® soleplate
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.
Storage
Always store the iron on its heel rest.
Do not store the iron with the soleplate
facing down, or in the carton.
Caution: Do not use scouring pads, abrasives
or harsh cleaners to clean your Resilium®,
soleplate, as these will scratch and damage
the surface.
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe
over with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry.
Caution: Do not use harsh abrasives,
chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the
exterior of your iron as these will damage the
surface.
Troubleshooting
If the following conditions occur
simultaneously, it indicates a possible fault
within the thermistor. These conditions
will persist until the soleplate thermistor is
working correctly.
To reset the iron, simply switch it off at
the power outlet, switch it back on again
and wait 15 seconds. The iron should now
operate normally. If the fault occurs regularly
return the iron, along with your purchase
receipt, to the place of purchase for a
replacement or refund.
• The temperature alert light flashes red
continuously, and
• The LCD backlight remains lit, and
Note: the fault conditions described above
are different to what occurs when the safety
auto-off feature is activated. When the iron
is in the auto-off mode the LCD backlight
will flash, the temperature alert light on the
handle will flash red, and a warning beep
will sound.
• The temperature cannot be changed from
the MAX setting, and the circular graphic
flashes and counts up to the MAX segment
continuously.

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.
