Before First Use
• Use ordinary tap water. If you have extremely hard water,
alternate between tap water and distilled water for use in
travel iron/steamer.
• During first use of travel iron/steamer, it may appear to smoke.
This will stop and does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• Many irons/steamers 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.
• Steam vents should be cleared before first use. Prepare
travel iron/steamer for steam ironing, then iron over an old
cloth for a few minutes while pressing the steam button.
