Frequently Asked Questions - Power Steam SG1000 SUNBEAM

How do I fill the water tank?

Place the steamer on a flat surface. Hold the water tank and turn the handle counterclockwise until the arrow aligns with the unlock symbol. Lift the handle off. Take the water tank to a sink, open the rubberized cover, and fill with tap water up to the Max level. Close the cover, reattach the handle, and turn clockwise to lock.

Why is the steamer making a rattling noise and vibrating?

This indicates the water level is low. Unplug the steamer, let it cool completely, and refill the water tank with water. The noise is caused by the water pump detecting low water.

Can I add cleaning solutions or perfumes to the water?

No. Only use tap water or distilled water. Adding cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils, or any chemical additives can cause personal injury and damage the appliance. This will also void your warranty.

How do I use the continuous steam feature?

Press the steam trigger and slide it down to the lock-down position. This will provide continuous steam until you move the trigger back up to release.

What should I do if the steamer does not produce steam?

Ensure the steamer is plugged in, turned on (slide switch to Low or High), and has heated up for about 45 seconds. Press the trigger fully and hold it, or set it to lock-down for continuous steam. If still no steam, check water level and refill if needed. Also verify the electrical outlet works.

How do I clean the steamer?

Turn off and unplug the steamer, let it cool completely. Empty the water tank. Fill the tank with a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water up to the Max level. Plug in and run a full steaming cycle. Then refill with clean water and repeat until the vinegar odor is gone. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth.

Why does water drip onto my garment?

This may happen if the accessory attachment has condensation. Let the appliance cool completely, remove the attachment, and wipe it dry. Also ensure you are not overfilling the water tank.

Can I steam clothes while they are being worn?

No. Never steam clothes while someone is wearing them. Steam is hot and can cause burns. Always hang garments on a rust-free hanger and steam them vertically.

How do I attach and remove accessories?

To attach: grasp both sides of the accessory, insert the heated press bar opening at the top behind the small tab, and gently press until it snaps into place. To remove: grip the accessory handle and gently pull toward you to separate from the steam head.

What does the green ready light indicate?

The green ready light illuminates when the steamer has reached the appropriate temperature for steam generation, typically after about 45 seconds. If the light cycles off, the temperature may be too low to generate steam, and the pump will stop.

Before First Use

• Unpack your Steamer; remove and peel off any labels adhered to the unit.
• Remove and save instruction manual.
• Wipe outside of the unit with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust. Dry thoroughly.
• Keep unit on a flat, leveled surface.
• When using your Steamer for the first time, you may notice a small amount of smoke and a slight odor. This is normal when heating the appliance for the first time and there is no reason for concern.

Sunbeam's Safety Precautions

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 All Instructions Before Use.
• Use appliance only for its intended use.
  • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the appliance to "Off" before plugging or unplugging the appliance from the electrical outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
• Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.

- Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified service center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used.

- Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.

- Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.

- To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button.

- To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.

- Never steam clothes while someone is wearing.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• When filling the water tank, watch for water that can drip onto the floor and cause you to slip and fall. Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
• Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. Always make sure you can move freely without getting tangled with the cord. For additional protection, use a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying power to your appliances.
• Appliance may cause personal injury or be damaged if dropped.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries or void your warranty.
• To avoid personal injury and damage to the appliance, only add water to the water tank. NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.
• 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. Responsible for their safety.
• 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 a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

FILLING WATER TANK

Warning: To avoid personal injury and damage to the unit, only add water to the water tank. NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.

Note: Your Steamer is designed to be used with tap water. However, if you have hard water, we recommend using distilled water for better results.

1. Place Steamer on a flat surface.
2. Hold the water tank with one hand while turning the steamer handle counterclockwise with other hand, until the arrow on the handle reaches the unlock symbol (☐) on the water tank. Lift the handle off the water tank. Set the Steamer aside (Figure 1).

Steaming Tips

• Improper use of the Steamer can cause property damage due to the steam. Always read the instructions in this manual before using your Steamer.
• Do not operate the Steamer with an empty water tank. To add water during operation, turn steamer off, wait for it to cool down then remove water tank and refill.
• Always read the fabric care labels to help determine fabric type to be steamed. If unsure of fabric's fiber, test a small hidden area, such as an inside seam or hem, before steaming.
• For more difficult wrinkles, try steaming from the underside of the fabric.
• When steaming, touching fabric lightly with the steam nozzle can help in wrinkle removal. It is important to make contact with the garment and/or fabric.

• Heavier fabrics require more steam.

• Once the Steamer has reached set temperature, press trigger switch and in a horizontal position, move the steamer continuously over the fabric being steamed.

Caution: The heated press bar gets hot, do not touch.

1. Once you finish, slide switch to Off and unplug unit. Wait for unit to cool completely before emptying the water tank or removing accessory.

2. Only use water in the unit. Do not add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water that can cause damage to the appliance.

3. Do not use steam against wall or doors.
4. When hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.
   • After use, empty water tank by turning it upside down to ensure all water empties out and avoid leaks.
5. When steaming, move the steamer continuously over the item being pressed. Do not keep steamer over an area for any period of time to avoid damage to the fabric.
