instructions of your other appliances. Please repeat the safety measures to all new users of your appliance. 1. Use your appliance only for ironing. 2. This appliance is an electrical appliance. Some of its parts get very hot during use. Any contact with these parts can therefore cause serious burns. 3. This appliance contains pressurized steam. Under no circumstances should the caps (16) and (17) be opened without first reading the operating instructions. 4. Never iron clothes while you are wearing them. 5. Keep children and infirm persons away from the appliance. The appliance must be stored out of their reach when not in use. Under no circumstances should the appliance be left unattended when still pluggedin. 6. Turn off the steam and iron switches before plugging in or unplugging the appli- ance, when filling or emptying the boiler, as well as before any maintenance. 7. The appliance and both electric and steam supply cords must be used only when in perfect condition. 8. To prevent any danger of electric shock, you must under no circumstances open the appliance yourself or change the power cord. In case of damage or doubt, the appliance should be immediately returned to the approved after-sales service. 9. This electrical appliance can cause serious electric shocks if brought into con- tact with water or any other liquid. 10. Do not unplug your appliance by pulling the electric cord. Instead, firmly grip the plug and pull it out of the socket. 11. The electric and steam supply cords must not come into contact with hot sur- faces. 12. Do not introduce objects into the ventilator cage. The protective grid of the ventila- tor is built to withstand only normal use and does not protect against the voluntary introduction of objects. Mind the children! 13. To avoid the accumulation of water in the board system, never iron when the motor socket is switched off. MagicEVO2-PreEVO2 Anglais 28.1.2003 10:16 Page 3

Slide on to the table like indicated in the drawing (p.II). • Silicone mat: (8) This mat is built to withstand a hot iron. Do not place the iron on any other surface. • Iron rest: (21) Clip the iron rest on the iron basket as indicated in the drawing. It is built to withstand a hot iron. • Wheels: (4) Optional. The cover Slide the cover from back to front. Turn it down under the tip of the board. The system is sup- plied with a special cover. It has a special lining which allows vacuum and blowing to be uni- form over the whole table. To obtain a new cover, contact your customer service agent. The cover may be washed at 30°. No spinning. The accessories The table 1. Place the board vertically on the ground. 2. Lift the table top and hold it in one hand. 3. With the other hand slide the adjustment device (under the board) up to whichever of the three stop bars corresponds to your height. Pull the iron basket from beneath the table by sliding it outwards. Installation    CAUTION: Do not use any other cover. A non-standardised cover would seriously reduce the effective- ness of the vacuum and blowing functions. MagicEVO2-PreEVO2 Anglais 28.1.2003 10:16 Page 4

Unscrew the appropriate cap (17) and fill the boiler with water. To fill it up use the bottle (10) provided: it has an anti-overfill device which stops the flow when the boiler is full (the capacity of the bottle is greater than that of the boiler). Squeeze the bottle briefly to start the filling of the boiler. Once full, screw the filling cap back on again (17) as far as it will go. 3 English Fix the board in the highest position. Put the rinsing recep- tacle beneath the boiler. Unscrew the drain cap (16). Unscrew the filling cap (17). Pass the contents of a bottle (10) of hot water through the boiler to rinse it. Screw the drain cap back on again (16). Screw the filling cap back on again (17). CAUTION: Fill up the boiler before every use. Première utilisation Using for the first time System disconnected Rinsing the boiler Always unplug the mains before filling the boiler. What sort of water to choose? Getting started Always fill the boiler with water before starting to iron as it could be damaged if heated up while empty. CAUTION: Heating up without water invalidates your system’s guarantee. Filling before using the system Water hardness test included. MagicEVO2-PreEVO2 Anglais 28.1.2003 10:16 Page 5

4 2. Turn on both switches and wait until the green light comes on (approx. 7 to 8 minutes). 1. Insert the plug. 7-8 min 8 min Steam button Vacuum / Blowing - choice of 2 speeds A single steam control button situated on the iron allows you to both start the emission of steam and switch from “blowing” mode to “vacuum” mode (or vice versa). Changing from one mode to the other can be done only when the motor is off. The chosen mode stops automatically at the end of a cycle (lasts 4 seconds). At that moment you may select the desired mode. In addition to the vacuum and blowing functions, the steam control button enables the strength of the flow of air from the ventilator to be regulated. When the iron is switched on, the ventilator is pre-set to maximum capacity (100%). Changing from one mode to the other can be done only when the motor is off. To change to reduced airflow (50%), press the steam control button twice very quickly. To go back to maximum airflow, press the steam control button twice again. Ironing English Position "A": Normal temperature Without Softpressing soleplate: - cotton, linen. With Softpressing soleplate: - wool, silk, synthetics. Position "B": Low temperature With Softpressing soleplate: - for extremely delicate synthetics eg: synthetic velours, Alcantara® (synthetic suede), sport stretch garments. Check that the indicator light of the iron is also on before ironing. ATTENTION: After a change of setting it takes about 2 mins for the new temperature to stabilize! If the iron spurts water, slightly increase the temperature. Before starting to iron or after lengthy ironing interruption, press the steam button 2 or 3 times to evacu- ate any water which may have condensed in the steam tube. Even if the shape of the iron in the video is different from your system's one, the functions remain the same. MagicEVO2-PreEVO2 Anglais 28.1.2003 10:16 Page 6

When blowing mode is chosen each press of the steam control button to give steam restarts the cycle (lasts 4 seconds). Vacuum A long press (more than one second) on the steam control button starts the “vacuum” mode. Vacuum is engaged at every emission of steam and stops 4 seconds after the end of the jet of steam to guarantee optimum drying of the fabric. When vacuum is being used each press on the steam control button to give steam restarts the cycle (lasts 4 seconds). 5 English Using the Softpressing soleplate. The Softpressing soleplate must be used for dark materials that are likely to become shiny and synthetic materials that might stick to the soleplate. Do not forget to remove the Softpressing soleplate after use. To use the Softpressing soleplate: 1. Insert the tip of the iron into the front of the Softpressing soleplate while keeping the back of the iron raised 2. Pull the tongue backwards as shown in the diagram. The tongue should not fall back. Wait for about 2 minutes for the Softpressing soleplate to reach the same temperature as the iron. CAUTION: Make sure the Softpressing soleplate does not touch mohair, cachemir, velvet and angora! Iron these materials at a distance. Do not forget to remove the Softpressing soleplate after use.

Hints on usage 8 Angora / Wool • Steam iron about 10 cm from the surface of the material, in order not to damage it. • Shake the garment by hand so that it regains its normal shape. Silk Vertical removal of creases Hang the garment on a coat hanger or hold it up. With a sweeping movement from top to bottom lightly touch the material while giving short bursts of steam. Note: It is easy to remove creas- es from most materials, except for cotton, linen and some silks. If it is difficult to remove the creases from a material, iron it as normal on the ironing board. Special materials • Velvet • Corduroy • Jersey If you are not using a Softpressing soleplate, steam iron 2-3 cm from the surface of the material, then finish by hand. Steam iron silk in the normal way. In the case of dark silk you are advised to use a Softpressing soleplate. HOT • • • • • • • • • • • • • • English Perfect ironing requires steam to be injected into the fabric. This is a requirement for the complete removal of creases. Do not continually inject steam into fabric: press the steam control button intermit- tently. For this the LauraStar™Magic Evolution / II system uses the same methods as professional dry cleaning: vacuum and blowing. To improve the quality of ironing and increase the autonomy of your appliance, steam iron the material first and then re-iron it without steam, in order to dry the material. blowing vacuum Velvet Back Buttons Welt Legs Inside Sleeves Bottons Top Pleats and collar and creases and lining and collar MagicEVO2-PreEVO2 Anglais 28.1.2003 10:16 Page 10
