Cleaning the iron (2)
If the iron’s soleplate is dirty, use a Laurastar cleaning mat in
accordance with the instructions. Cleaning mats can be obtained at
www.laurastar.com or from your approved Laurastar retailer.

Stubborn stains can be cleaned using an abrasive dishwashing sponge.
After completing this operation, remove the aluminium oxide present
under the soleplate by cleaning it with a damp cloth.

Advice
For mohair, cashmere, velvet, angora : do not allow the fabric to come
into contact with the protective soleplate (8). 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
hand and shake it to restore its volume.
F
For velvet, corduroy and jersey, we recommend steaming without the
protective soleplate (8) at around 2-3 cm / 1-2 in from the fabric, then
levelling out by hand.
Vertical smoothing out
Suspend the item of clothing on a hanger. Moving the appliance from
top to bottom, lightly touch the fabric using short bursts of steam.
Note : almost all fabrics smooth out easily, with the exception of cotton,
linen and certain silks. If a fabric is difficult to smooth out, place it on
the ironing board and iron it normally.
G
WARNING : Do not iron or vertical steam clothes that are
being worn. Do not point vertical steam in the direction
of people or pets.
DANGER : this appliance produces PRESSURIZED
STEAM. Contact with pressurized steam can cause
serious burns. SWITCH OFF and UNPLUG the appliance before
filling or draining the iron. Switch off and unplug the appliance
when not in use.
Low water indicator light (16) and audible alarm
A warning tone sounds and the low water indicator light (16) flashes to
signal that there is no water left in the steam generator's reservoir.
A
When the alarm sounds, you have 3 minutes before the system
switches off automatically. However, there is enough steam to finish
the garment you are in the middle of ironing.
