This is part of a troubleshooting flow chart, that we just received from our Chinese supplier of steam irons. I'm supposed to translate and publish it in all European languages...

I think you can just put this image of a hula doll in. People will know what to do.

I don't understand the first part of the flow chart. Up = Yes = Leakage. Down = ? = huluhulu like water flow inside. So is down = no/silent since up = yes/noise?

As for your question:
Only thing I would guess would either be the sound (lol) or a consistency of the water. :/ good luck!

Could it be something onomatopoeic? huluhulu may reference to the sound the water flow makes. Something like a vortex or the sound water makes when exiting the bathroom's sink?

I don't know anything about this though.

I guess this kind of weird wording is why we all get some super-confusing user manuals every now and then.
