Before First Use - Oster GCSTBS5802 Instruction Manual

• When using the Iron for the first time, test it on a piece of old cloth to be sure that the
Soleplate and the Water Reservoir are clean.
• It is possible that the Iron will discharge some smoke or give off a slight odor during
its first usage. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. This is
completely normal and will stop shortly afterwards.
• When not ironing, always have the Steam Select Switch turned to the closed
position .
USING THE STEAM IRON
• Set the Steam Iron in an upright position and insert the plug into the wall electrical outlet.
• Select the desired temperature on the Temperature Control Dial.
• The Indicator Light will go on and once the selected temperature is reached, the light
will go off and you can begin to Iron. The Indicator Light will be on every time the Iron
is heating. Once it reaches the temperature setting, the Indicator Light will turn off.
The Light will turn on and off from time to time while you are ironing since the
thermostat automatically maintains the Soleplate at the same temperature.
• The Large Soleplate increases ironing efficiency while the non-stick finish included on
models 5803, 5813, 5804, 5805, 5806 & 5807 makes gliding across fabrics even
smoother.
• Another important feature of your Steam Iron is the 180º Swivel Cord, which prevents
tangling and allows for easy use by both right and left handed people.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATER
• This Steam Iron may be used with normal tap water. However, if the water of the
region in which you live is especially hard, it is recommended to use distilled water to
prolong the life of your Iron.
• Do not use water that has been desalinated with chemicals.
