My Philips Steam Iron releases smoke while heating up

During production, some parts of your Philips Steam Generator Iron have been slightly greased. 

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.
