Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels, and other residential-type environments; and bed and breakfast-type environments. • Use the iron on an ironing board. Ironing on any other surface may damage that surface. • Do not iron or vertical-steam clothes that are being worn. • Do not use vertical steam in the direction of people or pets. • During first use of the iron, it may appear to smoke. This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• 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. • To clean steam vents before first use, prepare iron for steam ironing and then iron over an old cloth for a few minutes while letting the iron steam. Press the Steam Burst button several times to clean the vents. Then follow the self-cleaning instructions on page 12. 4
