did you fill it with water yet ?
are you mistaking the steam for smoke ? I know your not stupid but a new iron at first when the steam is on can smell odd - it will go after a while .

if you put it on the stea option by mistake and there was no / little water this could do it .

If filled with water and it still continues to do so return it .

I never heard of this, would probably bring it back and get another one, you just can't be to careful.

I've been looking for a new iron and on the description of quite a few it said that it is common for them to give off smoke on their first use but it should clear within a few minutes

It is usually recommended to switch to non steam for a few mins, efore adding water and changing to steam. If not happy Take it Back.

You may notice a slight odour or minor smoke emission when you first use … You may notice a slight odour or minor smoke emission when you first use this iron - which should disappear after a few minutes.

No water filled... The Iron Just connected and It is generating Some smoke and It is a deep burning smell. I know This could be the first time coil is heating up, But I am not expecting smoke.... They have not mentioned this in the user manual any where...
