Electric Iron

Electric Iron

• A design that allows the iron to be set down, usually standing on its end, without the hot soleplate touching anything that could be damaged;
• A thermostat ensuring maintenance of a constant temperature;
• A temperature control dial allowing the user to select the operating temperatures (usually marked with types of cloth rather than temperatures: “silk“, “wool“, “cotton“, “linen“, etc.);
• An electrical cord with heat-resistant silicone rubber insulation;
• Injection of steam through the fabric during the ironing process;
  • A water reservoir inside the iron used for steam generation;
  • An indicator showing the amount of water left in the reservoir,
  • Constant steam: constantly sends steam through the hot part of the iron into the clothes;
  • Steam burst: sends a burst of steam through the clothes when the user presses a button;
  • (advanced feature) Dial controlling the amount of steam to emit as a constant stream;
  • (advanced feature) Anti-drip system;
• Cord control: the point at which the cord attaches to the iron has a spring to hold the cord out of the way while ironing and likewise when setting down the iron (prevents fires, is more convenient, etc.);
• A retractable cord for easy storage;
