Repair Instructions
Important Notes:
- Due to the high wattage of the iron, only the specified cord set must be used.
- Should damage be observed on the CORDSET 25, it must be replaced. Continued usage is not allowed.
- If COVER 12 is provided without type plate information (e.g., type number, voltage), 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 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.
| Marking | Soleplate temperature (Deg C) | Material, for example | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Maximum | Nominal + Tolerance | ||
| • (1 dot) | 70 | 120 | 95 ± 25 | Acetate, elastane, polyamide, polyproylene |
| •• (2 dots) | 100 | 160 | 130 ± 30 | Cupro, polyester, silk, triacetate, viscose, wool |
| ••• (3 dots) | 140 | 210 | 175 ± 35 | Cotton, linen |
Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates the soleplate with markings indicating temperature zones (dots) and a test point ('X').
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), e.g., steaming, variable steam, SOS, ASO, is working properly.
4. Loose part
Check that there are no loose parts, e.g., extra screws in the product that can cause short-circuit or product malfunction.
