ironing.

appropriate temperature setting (from 1 to 7).

3-Way Automatic Shutoff
The automatic shutoff feature in your iron works as follows:
• Once the iron reaches appropriate temperature, it will turn off
after 30 seconds of inactivity if left on its soleplate or tipped
over on its side. If left vertically on its heel rest, it will shut off
after 8 minutes (D).
• The unit beeps three times and AUTO OFF flashes on the
digital display window to let you know the iron has stopped
heating (E).
• After a few minutes, the digital display light goes off.
• If you pick up the iron, it activates an internal motion sensitive
detector and the iron will start heating again. You might have to
move the iron or shake it gently. The digital display light comes
on and the set temperature is displayed again.

Smart Steam™ Technology
The Smart Steam™ system generates steam only at higher

the setting, the more powerful the steam.
