Before First Use

• Steam vents should be cleaned before
first use. Prepare iron for steam iron-
ing, 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.
