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 % demineralised water.
Automatic energy saving
90 % of the energy a steam iron uses is used to convert water
into steam. This steam iron with innovative mechanism
in the handle makes sure that you still get high steam
performance, but with optimal use of energy.
The automatic energy saving technology is such that
- when you put the iron down on the garment and press the
handle gently (which you normally do during ironing!), it
steams at full power.
- when you lift the iron, the steaming reduces to a minimum.
Steam Glide soleplate
This specially treated soleplate is designed with 2 distinctly
different types of steam vents:
- Large vents for maximum crease removal
- Fine vents for best glide
Double active anti-calc system
Anti-calc cassette inside water tank & calc cleaning feature
provide double protection against scale build-up.
Calc clean is integrated with steam control.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
- Due to the high wattage of the iron, only the specified cord set must be used.
- Should damage be observed on the CORDSET 9, it must be replaced.
Continued usage is not allowed.
- For standardization reason, the COVER ASSY 5 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.

•• (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.
4. Loose part
Check that there are no loose parts eg. extra screw in the product that can cause short-circuit or product malfunction.
