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 16
, 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.

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.
