Main Parts and Functions sterika Electricity 

The main parts of iron varies depending on the type of features offered, but in general, composed of iron parts as follows. 

1 Power cord: 
The power cord is made of a flexible cable (with core fibers) wrapped with insulating material remains pliable fabric makes it so 
not easily broken and safe from electrical shock hazards. Power cable on the flatiron no direction can be arranged so as to facilitate the process of ironing. 

2 heating elements: 
The heating element is an element that will generate heat when electrified. Of the heating element is the source of heat energy generated. The heating element is placed between the base metal and iron ballast. 

3. bottom board 
Alas iron is the iron that will be in direct contact with the fabric on the board. Alas iron is made from rust resistant material 
such as aluminum, stainless steel, or at least with an anti-rust coating material and a non-stick (Teflon) that are not easily dirty and fouled diaturerika cloth. 

4 indicator lights: 
Almost all electric iron is equipped with indicator lights. Indicator lights are used as a sign that the iron has been connected with a voltage source or not (ON or OFF). When the light is on means no electric current flowing to the iron (ON) and vice versa when the light goes off means there is no electric current flowing (OFF). Death of indicator lights also indicate that the iron has reached its maximum temperature. 

5. Closing and sinker: 
Iron cover or enclosure made ​​of insulating material to prevent electrical shock hazards. In addition, the cover is also heat resistant to prevent danger to the touch of the human body. Usually made ​​of iron ballast and as the name suggests, function as iron ballast in order to facilitate its use. 

Shape cover and ballast iron depending on the model. 

6 Regulatory On-Off and temperature: 
Almost all the iron is equipped with a temperature control so that the high and low temperature can be adjusted to the type of textile / fabric that will diaturerika. The temperature regulator typically use a bimetal principle. 

7 Reservoir water and steam hose 
Iron with steam boost feature is equipped with a water reservoir from which steam is produced. The water reservoir can be filled with water again easily. 

When not needed bursts of steam, the water reservoir is left blank (no 
needs to be filled). This is not an issue. After completion of discharging, the water reservoir must be empty to avoid corrosion.
For certain brands made ​​transparent reservoir and is equipped with a lamp with a light color such that the water level in the reservoir can be seen clearly. 

8. Stalk iron holder 
Stalk iron holder is made of insulating material (wood or plastic). It meant if there is leakage of electric current does not harm its user.
