Before first use

Note: The iron may give off some smoke when you use it for the first time. This is normal and stops after
a short while.
Note: Some particles may come out of the soleplate when you use the iron for the first time. This is
normal; the particles are harmless and stop coming out of the iron after a short while.
Note: When you switch on the appliance, the steam generator may produce a pumping sound. This is
normal; the sound tells you that water is pumped into the steam generator.
1 Remove any sticker or protective foil from the soleplate and clean the soleplate with
a soft cloth.

preparing for use
