HOW TO USE THIS
COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING MATERIAL (CBLM)
Welcome to the Module “Maintaining and Repairing a Flat Iron”.
This module contains training materials and activities for you to
complete.
The unit of competency “Maintain and Repair Electronically
Controlled Domestic Appliances” contains the knowledge, skills and
attitudes required for a Consumer Electronic Servicing required to obtain
the National Certificate (NC) level II.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in
order to complete each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each
learning outcome there are Information Sheets, Job Sheets, and
Activity Sheets. Follow these activities on your own and answer the Self-
Check at the end of each learning activity.
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your facilitator for
assistance.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
You may already have some basic knowledge and skills covered in
this module because you have been working for sometime; or already
completed training in this area.
If you can demonstrate to your teacher in a particular skill, talk to
him/her about having them formally recognized so you don’t have to do
the same training again. If you have a qualification or Certificate of
Competency from previous trainings, show it to him/her. If the skills you
acquired are consistent with and relevant to this module, they become
part of the evidence you can present for RPL. If you are not sure about
your competence skills, discuss this with your teacher.
After completing this module ask your teacher to assess your
competence. Result of your assessment will be recorded in your
competency profile. All the learning activities are designed for you to
complete at your own pace.
Inside this module you will find the activities for you to complete
and followed by relevant information sheets for each learning outcome.
Each learning outcome may have more than one learning activity.
This module is prepared to help you achieve the required
competency, in receiving and relaying information. This will be the
source of information that will enable you to acquire the knowledge and
skills in Maintaining and Repairing a Flat Iron independently at your
own pace or with minimum supervision or help from your teacher.

To avoid a circuit from overload, do not operate another high wattage

appliance on the same circuit. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary a
10 A cord should be used with a 120V iron or a 16A cord should be used
with a 220V iron. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or rippled over.

Proper care to a Flat Iron

1. Prevent the iron from falling on heavily padded board.
2. Avoid excessive scratches on iron plate due to direct contact from
buttons, hooks, zipper, etc.
3. Cool iron before storing. Do not wrap cord around iron especially
when it is still hot.
4. Put iron on a safe place to cool.
5. Always store iron in an upright position, on its heel rest, so that
soleplate will not be scratched.
6. Clean brown stains in soleplate by heating the iron to a high
temperature and iron it over to salt in wax paper. A non-scratchy
household cleaner may also be used.
To use a flat iron
1. Adjust the temperature selector to a minimum position before
plugging cord into electrical outlet.
2. Pre-heat the unit 2 minutes before using.
3. To improve dry ironing results, sprinkle garments evenly at least one
hour before ironing.
4. Unplug iron by gripping plug and pulling it from the outlet. Never
yank the cord!
To clean polished aluminum soleplate
1. Unplug the iron.
2. Make a paste of mild scouring powder and a little amount of water.
Apply a small amount to soleplate using a damp cloth and rub the
soiled area. Wipe thoroughly.
3. Do not use metal scouring pads since they will scratch the soleplate.
Store Iron
When iron has cooled, wrap cord loosely. To protect soleplate, always
store iron on heel rest.
Mail/travel iron
When iron is cool, pack it carefully. The original cartoon box is not
suitable for mailing, instead provide a durable box.

Important:
When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed

including the following:
1. Read the instructions first.

2. Use the iron only for its intended use.
3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse any part of
the iron in water or other liquid.
4. The iron should always be turned to MIN position before plugging or
unplugging from the outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from the
outlet; instead grasp plug and pull it to disconnect.
5. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely.
6. Do not operate iron if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner,
as such may cause temperature setting in occasion or electric shock.
Do not assemble the iron; take it to the dealer from whom the product
was purchased for examination or any professional technician.
Incorrect assembly can cause electric shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliances being used by or
near children. Do not leave the iron unattended when plugged into the
outlet or in an ironing board. Always position the iron carefully to
prevent it from falling if ironing board is accidentally knocked or if the
cord is pulled. When not in use, always stand the iron on heel rest.
8. Burn can occur from touching hot metal parts.
9. The use of accessory attachment not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may create a hazardous situation or damage
to your flat.
10. Do not use the iron outdoor.
11. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable
materials.

the iron in water or other liquid.
4. The iron should always be turned to MIN position before plugging
or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from
the outlet; instead grasp plug and pull it to disconnect.
5. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool
completely.
6. Do not operate iron if it has been dropped or damaged in any
manner, as such may cause temperature setting in occasion or
electric shock. Do not assemble the iron; take it to the dealer from
whom the product was purchased for examination or any
professional technician. Incorrect assembly can cause electric
shock when the iron is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliances being used by or
near children. Do not leave the iron unattended when plugged into
the outlet or in an ironing board. Always position the iron carefully
to prevent it from falling if ironing board is accidentally knocked or
if the cord is pulled. When not in use, always stand the iron on
heel rest.
8. Burn can occur from touching hot metal parts.
9. The use of accessory attachment not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may create a hazardous situation or
damage to your flat.
10. Do not use the iron outdoor.
