TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Voltage : 220 - 240 V

Frequency : 50 - 60 Hz

Power consumption : 1650 - 1960 W

Dimension (F-box) : 333 mm x 273 mm x 149 mm

Weight (Iron) : 1990 g

Vertical steam

When the iron is kept in a vertical position, the S.O.S. button can be used to iron hanging fabrics as curtains.

Self-clean function

When the self-clean button is pushed down, a sudden ﬂ ow of water is released from the tank into the heated soleplate.

This thermal shock will cause scale particles come loose from the steam chamber. These particles are then ﬂ ushed out through the steam vents by the water.

Anti-drip

Water is only released through the tank valve into the steam chamber if the soleplate temperature is high enough to evaporate all water. If the temperature is not hot enough, the tank valve is closed by means of the bi-metal disc.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS IRON

IMPORTANT

Due to the high wattage of the iron, only the speciﬁ ed cordsets must be used.

NOTES :

1) For standardisation reasons :

Rattle spring : 5 pieces will be supplied when ordered. Type plate : No info about the type number and voltage have been stamped onto the typeplate. When replacing the type plate, engrave at least type number and voltage onto the typeplate with a sharp object.

2) Parts, with numbers from 100 and higher, cannot be ordered separately.

3) After the product has been repaired, it should function properly and has to meet the safety requirements and legal regulations as laid down and officially established at this moment.

ADJUSTMENT AND CONTROL

Thermostat :

Thermostat 20, ﬁ tted to the soleplate 23 has already been adjusted by the supplier and secured by glue. To avoid mal-function of the iron, NEVER re-adjust the thermostat.

Adjustment thermostat 20, supplied as a spare part.

N.B. Before starting to adjust the thermostat, make sure that a gap exists between the lower tip of the ceramic insulating pin

and the real-off bracket. See ﬁ g. 1.

HI559

Connect the connecting strips to an Ohm-meter. Set the thermostat stopper to the position as indicated in ﬁ g. 2. Turn the adjusting screw R clockwise or anti-clockwise until the Ohm-meter indicates “0“. (The contacts closed) Then turn the adjusting screw clockwise until the Ohm-meter indicates ∞ and the contacts have only just been opened. You hear a “click”. While loosely turning the thermostat stopper, check if the thermostat switches in the position as indicated in ﬁ g. 2.

After the thermostat has been adjusted, adjust the real-off bracket. Set the thermostat stopper in the position shown in ﬁ g. 3. The thermostat contacts are closed. (Ohm-meter indicates “0”) Turn the set-screw S clockwise until the contacts have only just been opened. The Ohm-meter indicates ∞. Secure the adjusting screws with a glue.

After adjusting the thermostat, always check the temperature of the soleplate, with the dial set to MAX. position ( 215 ± 25 °C )

For location of testing point, see ﬁ g. 4. The temperature must be measured, after the iron has been connected to the mains for at least 15 min. The max. temperature shall not be higher than 240 °C.
