Before First Use

• Steam vents should be cleaned
before first use.
• During the first use of the iron, it may
appear to smoke. This will stop and
does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• 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.

Blast
• 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.
