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 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.
