Iron - Automatic Shut Off
Revision as of 12:48, 12 April 2016 by imported>Jackie
- Many irons have an automatic shut off feature. This feature varies from 30 seconds to 1 hour depending on the model of iron. Movement usually resets the iron to begin heating but some irons have a reset button. Please refer to the instructional brochure to determine if the unit has an auto-off feature, length of time before the unit stops heating and how to re-activate the unit.
- Please note that the iron is still “ON” or in the standby mode until you actually turn it off and unplug the iron. The handle of the iron will remain warm since the iron is still drawing current and the electronics are still working (energized). Only the sole plate is cold. If the iron falls it will automatically turn on since it is only in standby mode. Do not rely on standby mode to leave an iron unattended.
If the iron turns off, but will not turn back on:
You may have to move the iron or shake it gently to reactivate the thermostat.
