BEFORE FIRST USE

•During first use of iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.

•Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. Press the Blast button several times. This will clean the vents. Then follow the Self-Clean instructions (see page 5) beginning with Step 3.

•Many irons spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water. This happens as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
