• NOTE: Before ironing, or after an extended break, press the iron's
x
2-3
steam button (9) 2 or 3 times, while pointing it away from the
clothes. This will release any condensation from the iron and
prevent water marks on the clothes.
CAUTION: Do not point the iron at people or pets while using
vertical steam.
Ironing
A
Two ironing modes
For the best possible steam ironing result, we offer two modes of ironing :
• Blower mode:
vates the fan (24) in blower mode. this blows air into the fabric from below,
helping to reduce unwanted creases.
• Vacuum mode:
the fan (24) in vacuum mode. This draws in air, holding the garment in place
B
on the board to facilitate perfect pleats.
Press the vacuum/blower button (10) to switch from blower to vacuum mode
and vice versa. You can adjust the intensity (4 speeds) pressing the fan speed
button (19) on the user interface of the steam generator.
LAURASTAR SENSTEAM (17) (certain models only)
C
Laurastar SenSteam (17) allows you to obtain an automatic steam diffusion
without pressing the steam button (9). The steam is automatically activated
when the iron moves forward and stops when the iron rests or moves back
To switch back to regular mode, press the Laurastar SenSteam button (17)
again.
PULSE (18) (certain models only)
Press the pulsed steam button (18) to activate the pulse function. Then press
the steam button (9) to automatically generate small and regular steam jets
D
. To switch back to regular mode, press the pulsed steam button again (18).

Steam principle
Perfect ironing requires diffusion of steam across the fabric, in order to relax the
fibres, and drying to fix them in place. Creases can only be completely removed
if these conditions are present.
Advice: For best results, first iron the item with steam and then iron it again
without steam, thereby enabling the iron to dry the fabric.

Protective soleplate (27)
The protective soleplate is indispensable for dark-coloured fabrics which
can become shiny, for delicate fabric like silk and synthetic fabrics which
have a tendency to stick to the iron.
Using the protective soleplate (27):
• First place the tip of the iron (2) at the front of the protective soleplate
(27) and lower the iron to fix it in place in the soleplate.
• Wait approximately 2 minutes for the soleplate to reach the correct
temperature.
• To remove the protective soleplate, pull on the tab and remove the iron
while it is still hot.
F
WARNING: The protective soleplate is hot! Use caution
when you remove the protective soleplate.
NOTICE: ALWAYS remove the protective soleplate after use.
Advice: For mohair, cashmere, velvet and angora: do not allow the fabric
to come into contact with the protective soleplate (27). Iron the fabric at a
distance of approximately 10 cm (4 in) while diffusing steam, so that the
fabric does not become felted. Then take the item of clothing in your
G
hand and shake it to restore its volume.
For velvet, corduroy and jersey, we recommend steaming without the
protective soleplate (27) at around 2-3 cm (1-2 in) from the fabric, then
levelling out by hand.
