Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR IRON  
• 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.  
• An iron takes approximately 30 minutes to  
cool down. Allow the iron to cool completely  
before storing.  
• Do not leave the iron unattended while it is  
plugged into the power outlet.  
• 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.  
• The iron is not to be used if it has been  
dropped, if there are visible signs of  
damage or if it is leaking.  
• Do not wind the cord around the soleplate  
while the iron is still hot.  
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:  
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose  
other than its intended use.  
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas  
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.

by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.  
Turn the power off and remove the plug  
when the appliance is not in use and before  
cleaning.  
• Do not use your appliance with an extension  
cord unless this cord has been checked  
and tested by a qualified technician or  
service person.  
• Always use your appliance from a power  
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked  
on the appliance.  
• This appliance is not intended for use by  
persons (including children) with reduced  
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or  
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they  
have been given supervision or instruction  
concerning use of the appliance by a person

Using your Sunbeam Ultura 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 3 pin plug into a 230/240 volt  
power outlet and turn the power on. The  
power ON light (positioned on top of the  
handle) will illuminate to indicate that the  
iron is switched on and heating.  
2.Turn the temperature dial to the desired  
setting by aligning the setting on the dial  
with the temperature indicator light. The  
boost light will illuminate to indicate  
that the iron is heating to the selected  
temperature. When the boost light goes  
out the iron has reached the selected  
temperature and is ready to use.  
NOTE: When the temperature dial is changed  
from a high setting to a lower temperature  
setting during ironing, the boost 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  
boost 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.  
1.Turn the STEAM/DRY dial to DRY.  
2.Place the iron on its heel and open the  
water inlet cover.  
Dry ironing  
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.  
3.Select DRY on the STEAM/DRY dial.  
This will cut off the steam flow if there  
is water in the tank.  
3.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 special soleplate design allows you  
to use tap water with your Ultura 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.  
Steam ironing  
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 1/4 full of water.  
For best performance, we recommend the  
use of Sunbeam Water Demineraliser, available  
from Sunbeam Service Centres and 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.  
4.Turn the STEAM/DRY dial to the desired  
steam setting.  
For best results, select the steam setting  
that corresponds to the selected temperature,  
as indicated on the temperature dial.

••  
1.Ensure the tank is at least 1/4 full of  
water.  
2.Press the spray button during ironing to  
release a fine mist from the spray nozzle.  
3.Press the shot of steam button several  
times with the iron on the soleplate to  
prime the pump.  
Note: If the tank has run dry, it may be  
necessary to re-prime the pump after filling  
the iron with water.  
The safety auto-off feature  
The safety auto-off mechanism automatically  
turns the iron off if you forget.  
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.(See figure 2).  
After the iron has cut-out, the power ON light  
will remain illuminated, as the iron is still  
connected to the power outlet. Once the iron  
is moved, the power will reconnect. Allow the  
iron to heat until the boost light goes out,  
and continue ironing as normal.  
The safety auto-off light on the handle will  
illuminate and a warning beep will sound  
to let you know that you have left the iron  
unattended.  
NOTE: Ultura models SR5665 and SR5560  
will not produce a warning beep. The Safety  
auto-off light on the handle will illuminate  
to indicate that the auto-off function has  
activated.

Care and Cleaning  
After each use  
Cleaning the steam holes  
1 Turn the STEAM/DRY dial to DRY.  
2 Turn the power off and remove the plug  
from the power outlet.  
3 Empty any remaining water from the  
water tank.  
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 (SR5990)  
4 Allow the iron to cool before winding  
the cord around the built-in cord wrap.  
Storage  
Always store the iron on its heel rest.  
NOTE: Do not store the iron with the  
soleplate facing down, or in the carton.  
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry.  
Cleaning the Stainless Steel soleplate  
(SR5880)  
Using a stainless steel or metal cleaner,  
rub gently with a damp cloth and wipe dry.  
Cleaning the Teflon® Platinum Pro  
non-stick soleplate  
(SR5770, SR5665 & SR5560)  
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.  
Figure 3  
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.  
Cleaning  
To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe  
over with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry.  
Caution: Do not use scouring pads, abrasives  
or harsh cleaners to clean your Resilium®,  
Teflon® Platinum Pro, Teflon® Select or  
Stainless steel soleplate, as these will  
scratch and damage the surface.  
Caution: Do not use harsh abrasives,  
chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the  
exterior of your iron as these will damage the  
surface.  
Cleaning the removable steam valve  
To remove the steam valve, turn the STEAM/  
DRY dial to clean, so that the steam valve  
pops up. Gently scrub the tip of the valve  
with a steel wool soap pad moistened in  
warm water. Rinse and dry with a clean  
cloth. Replace the steam valve and turn  
clockwise to lock into position.

Ultura 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.
