Before First Use
•Steam vents should be cleaned before first use. Prepare iron for steam ironing, then iron over an old cloth for a few min- utes while letting the iron steam. This will clean the vents.
•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.
