Before First Use

Steam vents should be cleaned before first use.

To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few min- utes while letting the iron steam. Press the Blast button several times to clean the vents. Then follow the Self-Cleaning instructions.

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

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.

CAUTION

Burn Hazard

Metal surfaces on this iron are hot.

Keep hands clear of metal surfaces while operating.
