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.

vertical steam.
Ironing
A
Two ironing modes
For the best possible steam ironing result, we offer two modes of ironing :
• Blower mode :
activates the fan (24) in blower mode. this blows air into the fabric from
below, helping to reduce unwanted creases.
• Vacuum mode :
activates the fan (24) in vacuum mode. This draws in air, holding the
B
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)
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
. 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
