Blast Spray

Before First Use

Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron for steam iron- ing, then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. Press the Blast button several times to clean the vents. Then follow the Self-Cleaning instructions.

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.

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