Using the Intelligent Pro Steam Press

ABOUT AUTO SHUT-OFF

The Auto Shut-Off feature includes both an Auto Shut-Off and an Auto Wake-Up. These multifunction safety features deactivate electrical power to the heater when Pressing Plate has been left closed on the Ironing Board for more than 10 seconds. Heater deactivation is signaled by a beeping sound. Heater Functionality is restored when Pressing Plate is raised back up. Power to heater will also be cut if the Pressing Plate is in raised position without use for approximately 15 minutes (once again signaled by a beeping sound) Heating ability of the unit can only be restored in this situation by pressing the ON/OFF Switch.

Auto Shut-Off does not mean power to the unit is totally cut off. Power is always on, and the Power Indicator Light will remain illuminated until On/Off Switch is set to "Off" (O) position. Unplug power cord.
