Brief Introduction
This lesson introduces the materials and tools in maintaining electrical flat iron. It also provides
learning activities about the parts and functions and operation of a flat iron. It contains the pictorial and
schematic diagram of the thermostat assembly of the flat iron.
This lesson delivers to the learners the fundamental knowledge in the operation of a flat iron. The
learning activities improve the critical thinking and skills of students in determining the parts and
functions of a flat iron. It also provides lessons in maintaining it using hand tools and materials.

above normal as designed for the unit. It also
protects the unit from damage when overheating
and a short circuit occurs.
Picture A presents the iron at normal temperature. While picture B shows the iron when becomes too hot.

Working Principle of Electric Flat Iron
The bimetallic strip in picture (a) stays in physical contact with the contact point at moderate
temperature. However, when the temperature of the iron above a certain limit as shown in picture (b), the
strip tends to bend upward towards the contact spring. Then, the strip stops to be physically connected to
the contact point, and at this point, the current flow is cut as the circuit or contact point opens.
Activity 1
Written below are some of the tools and materials in maintaining electric flat iron. Analyze and arrange
the jumbled words as described by the following statement.
