My Philips Steam Iron releases smoke while heating up

Some parts of your Philips Steam Iron have been greased slightly during production.

As a result of this, your iron may produce some smoke when it is switched on for the first few times.

Do not worry; this is normal.

Sometimes, there may still be some remaining water in your iron’s soleplate after the last usage. This water will evaporate when your iron’s soleplate heats up. This may look like smoke.

This is normal and will stop after a short while.
