Water Advice
In case you live in an area with hard water (e.g. water hardness
more than 8 dGH), it is recommended to use a mixture of
50 % tap water and 50 % demineralized water.
Powerglide Soleplate
Silver solgel coating for more robust scratch resistance,
smooth gliding & easy to clean.
Pointed Tip
This feature allows soleplate to reach tricky area.
Steam Boost
The steam boost helps to remove stubborn wrinkles.
Drip Stop
The water tank bottom has a valve that is controlled by
a bimetal disc on the soleplate. Water is only released
into steam chamber via the tank valve when the soleplate
temperature is high enough. When the soleplate temperature
is too low, the tank valve is closed. This prevents water from
dripping onto the garment.
Calc Clean Function
This function flush scale particles out of the iron, hence iron
enjoy longer life.

laid down & officially established at this moment.
- The following tests are common checks that are conducted on a repaired product before it is returned to the consumer.
1. Soleplate temperature
Check that soleplate temperature is within IEC requirement.
Measure the temperature of the soleplate after the iron has reached steady state i.e connected to the mains for at least 15 minutes.
The table below shows the temperature requirement.

•• (2 dots) 100 160 130 ± 30 Cupro, polyester, silk, triacetate, viscose, wool
••• (3 dots) 140 210 175 ± 35 Cotton, linen
2. Leakage current
Check that leakage current is within IEC requirement.
Measure leakage current between LIVE/NEUTRAL & EARTH.
IEC requirement is that at 230 V supply, the EARTH leakage current must be less than 0.75 mA.
3. Water leakage / Functionality
Check that there is no water leakage from any part of the product during operation.
Check that the functionality of the product (product dependent) eg. steaming, variable steam, SOS, ASO etc is working properly.
