NOTE : Before ironing, or after an extended break, press the
iron’s 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.
Two ironing modes
For the best possible steam ironing result, we offer two modes of ironing :
•
Blower mode:
Pressing the vacuum/blower button (10) on the
iron activates the fan (24) in blower mode. this blows air into the fabric
from below, helping to reduce unwanted creases.
•
Vacuum mode:
P
Pressing the vacuum/blower button (10) again,
activates the fan (24) in vacuum mode. This draws in air, holding the
garment in place 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)
Laurastar SenSteam (17) allows you to obtain an automatic steam diffu-
sion 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

. 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 com-
pletely 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.
