How to use the iron in the ironing center?

1. The power cord of the iron in the ironing center must use a three-core braided cord. Among them, the green and yellow two-color wires are ground wires, the red wire is connected to the live wire, and the white wire is connected to the neutral wire. The sockets used must also have three holes and be reliably grounded. Do not use plastic power cords instead, because plastics have poor temperature resistance. If the power cord is accidentally touched on a hot shell or bottom plate, the plastic insulation layer will melt and an electric shock may occur.

2. The length of the ironing center power cord should be 2m. If it is too long and the arrangement is not good enough, if the power cord is dragged to the ground, people walking around may trip over the iron, fall to the ground or scorch the ironing clothes, or even hurt people.

3. During the interval between ironing clothes, the electric iron in the ironing center should be placed upright, or placed on a dedicated electric iron rack. Do not put the electric iron on flammable objects to avoid fire; also do not put the electric iron on iron or masonry, so as not to scratch the plating layer of the soleplate.

4. Clean the dirt on the outer surface of the iron in the ironing center in time. The fluff on the surface of the chemical fiber fabric is easily melted and adheres to the bottom plate to form black spots, which are not only unsightly but also inconvenient to use. To avoid this kind of dirt, when ironing chemical fiber fabrics, you can pad a clean damp cloth. If there are dark spots on the bottom plate, do not scrape it with a knife, which will damage the coating layer of the bottom plate. 

5. After using the iron in the ironing center (or when there is a power outage), unplug the power plug and let it cool naturally. You must wait for the hand to feel no heat before putting it in the box door.

What are the precautions for using irons in ironing centers?

1. The power supply of the iron in the ironing center must use a three-phase plug, and it must have a grounding or zero protection device.

2. Since the iron in the ironing center is at least 300 watts of power, a thicker wire must be used to connect the iron to ensure sufficient capacity.　

3. The household electric meter must have enough capacity. Generally, a 300-watt electric iron needs a 2.5 amp meter, a 500-watt electric iron needs a 3 amp meter, a 750-watt electric iron needs a 5 amp meter, and a 1000 watt electric iron. The iron needs to be equipped with a 10-amp meter.

4. When using the interval, place the iron in the ironing center upright, or place it on heat-insulating materials such as iron blocks, ceramics, etc., so as not to ignite the objects.

5. When storing, protect the iron connection line of the ironing center to prevent breakage and leakage.

6. When using, don't let children close to prevent them from touching and scalding.

7. After use, wait for the iron in the ironing center to cool down before storing it.

8. The steam iron has a drip switch at the front of the handle. Press once to drip the water onto the iron plate. When the temperature is high enough, the water evaporates and sprays out from the bottom hole. If the iron plate temperature is too low, the water cannot evaporate and cause water leakage. Press again to turn off the water and it will not leak.

How to maintain the iron in the ironing center?

1. See if the voltage matches

When using iron in an ironing center for the first time, check whether the voltage of the iron matches it, especially for imported products, the voltage may be 240 volts or 110 volts. If you accidentally purchase a 240-volt electric iron, the power of the product will not be fully utilized, and the ironing effect will be affected due to insufficient heat. Using a 110-volt electric iron will damage the electrical wiring, and may even cause danger or even endanger your safety.

2. Use water with fewer impurities

Although some products are said to have a descaling function, if possible, water with fewer impurities, such as distilled water or cold water, should be used. If you often use tap water, the scale formed cannot be eliminated, and it will easily block the steam nozzle of the iron in the ironing center.

3. Pour out the remaining water in the clean water tank

Every time the iron in the ironing center is used up, the remaining water in the water tank must be drained, and then the remaining water will be evaporated and sprayed out from the soleplate after it is energized. Otherwise, after the water cools, it will flow out from the soleplate. When it is heated again, Minerals in the water adhere to the bottom plate, which will erode the bottom plate and cause damage in the long run.

4. Clean at least once a month

To make the steam iron of the ironing center durable, you should use its "auto-cleaning" function at least monthly to remove the scale accumulated in the iron and store it after it is completely dry, and it is best to store it upright. Extend its service life.
