3
• 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.
