- Due to the high wattage of the iron, only the specified cord set must be used.
- Should damage be observed on the CORDSET 3, it must be replaced.
Continued usage is not allowed.
- For standardization reason, the COVER 25 is provided without type plate information eg. type number, voltage etc. When
replacing the cover, engrave the type number & voltage on the type plate with a sharp object.
- After the product has been repaired, it should function properly and has to meet the safety requirements & legal regulations as
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.
