The iron is equipped with an electronic system that will automatically cut
the power source to your iron if it is left vertically on its heel for more than
8 minutes, on its soleplate for more than 30 seconds or on its side for more
than 30 seconds.
The auto-off warning light (

off mode.
• To restart the iron, gently shake the iron until the warning light stops
flashing.
Storing your iron

).
When the auto-off light is
warning, it is normal for the
temperature light to remain off.
