Before First Use - Oster GCSTEP2501 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
1. Set the Steam Iron in an upright position and insert the plug into the wall electrical
outlet.
2. Select the desired temperature on the Temperature Control Dial.
3. 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.
4. Another important feature of your Steam Iron is the 360º 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.
