ID: 144933

Description: This guide contains step-by-step instructions...

Switch off and unplug the iron. Drain the water from the water tank.
To prevent damage to the soleplate of the iron, make sure the worktop surface is non-abrasive.
Make sure the iron has cooled down before you start disassembly.

Turn over to the triangular backplate of the steam iron.
Remove the 10.0 mm screw securing the backplate to the main body with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Wedge your thumb and fingers at the joint between the backplate and the handle to loosen the snap joints.
Be mindful of the snap joints as they may break if excess pressure is applied.
We advise against use of screwdriver to pry open the backplate as it may damage snap joints.
Pull out the backplate gently to reveal the electric circuit—it will be still be connected to the wires so don't yank it off.
Take a photo of the electrical circuit to use as reference in step 5.

Grip the green cable as close to the crimp connector as possible.
For easy removal, pinch the crimp connector between your thumb and forefinger. Apply force to the connector rather than the cable.
Slide out the crimp connector attached to the cable.
Applying force to the cable might separate the wire from the connector and leave the crimp connector in the slot.
Repeat the previous step to remove the red and black cables and take out the power cord.

To connect the new cables, align and slide the crimp connector on the green cable into vacant slot.
Repeat the above step for the red and black cables.
Make sure the green, red and black cables are inserted in the correct slots.
