Water Advice
Suitable for tap water use. Advice to mix with equal portion
of distilled water or use only distilled water if the tap water is
very hard.
Ionic Deep Steam
Ionization process produces smaller steam particles. The finer
steam leads to deeper & better penetration into fabrics.
SteamGlide Soleplate
The specially treated SteamGlide soleplate is designed with 2
distinctly different types of steam vents:
1. Large vents for maximum crease removel
2. Fine vents for best glide
Easy Reach Steam Tip
Concentrated steam delivered in the hard to reach places by
pointed shape & the elongated steam slots.
Double Active Calc System
This is a 2-step system to protect your iron from scale
build-up:
1. The anti-calc tablet prevents scale from clogging the
steam vents.
2. The calc-clean function flushes out any loose scale
particles still inside the iron.
Drip Stop Feature
Water is released into the steam chamber via the tank valve
when the soleplate temperature is high enough.
When temperature is too low, the tank valve is closed by
means of a bi-metal disc.
Auto Shut Off
The iron shuts off automatically if remain motionless for
30 sec in horizontal position or 8 min in vertical position.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS & ELECTRICAL DIAGRAM
- Due to the high wattage of the iron, only the specified cord set must be used.
- Should damage be observed on the CORDSET 26, it must be replaced.
Continued usage is not allowed.
- If COVER 1 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. The table below shows the temperature requirement.

••• (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.
