This operating instructions booklet gives you some advices on how to use the LauraStar ironing steam station. Please read it carefully before the first use of the product.

Before filling the tank with water be sure the appliance is unplugged. Unscrew the tank’s lid (5). Fill up the tank with a maximum of 0,8 liter of water (see page B), check with the hydrometer pole (7) supplied, the quantity of liquid already in it. Lock the lid avoiding to force it. Make sure that the net’s voltage is the same as the one on the technical information plate that you’ll find under the tank. Plug the socket in a earth’s outlet. (In conformity with the law the earth’s outlet is obligatory). The manufacturer is not responsible for damages to things or persons caused by the non observance of this law. Switch on the tank (2).

Push the steam switch (4) on top of the iron handle to obtain steam. To regulate the temperature (3) of the soleplate, turn the thermostat regulator clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to reduce the temperature. Filling whilst ironing: turn off the boiler switch (2). Press the steam button (4) and hold it down until no more steam escapes. Turn off the iron switch (1) and unplug the device.

12/04/02 13:44 Page 17 Advice for ironing various fabrics General rule

Use steam for all kinds of fabrics. (You can naturally also iron certain fabrics without steam if you prefer). To obtain even better ironing results and to extend the length of time before having to refill the water tank go over once using steam, then again without steam to dry the fabric. Adjusting the temperature of the iron The temperature control knob on the upper side of your iron serves to regulate the temperature of the sole plate and does not affect the quantity or the temperature of the steam produced. We recommend ironing all types of fabric at the same temperature (position A), as professionals do. Silk Iron silk as usual, using steam (for dark silk it is advisable to use the Softpressing sole-plate which you may obtain separately at your sales point). Wool and angora pullovers Steam the garment without touching, from a height of about 10 cm, then pick the garment up and shake it to restore its original volume and shape. Removing creases Suspending the garment by hand or on a hanger, lightly touch the fabric with the iron using steam. Attention: creases can easily be removed from practically all types of fabric this way, with the exception of cotton, linen and certain kinds of silk. If a fabric does not respond well to this kind of crease removal, place it on the ironing board and iron it in the normal manner. For sleeves, use a small sleeveboard. Special fabrics Velvet, corduroy velvet, jersey If not using the Softpressing sole-plate, steam the garment without touching from a height of about 1 cm, then smooth out the creases by hand.
