How do I turn this iron off and know that it is off? I wish there was an on/off switch with a back up auto-shut off.

It will go in sleep mode when you hold - button down, the display button will turn red and display 00. Hit the + button and it will display how long it will stay on before it goes to sleep again.

When you hold the power button it turns off. The word "off" appears on the digital display.

It is not a problem for me, I've had other irons that operate the same way. It does go off by itself in a short while if not used. If uncomfortable with this you can unplug the iron. I love this iron, and I do a lot of ironing.

When it's too hot, it goes into a temporary shut off mode, like a pause, but it doesn't mean it's completely off. A red light flashes indicating that it's been on for a while and reached a certain temperature and needs to cool off. Press the 'on' button again and it'll start to heat up again. A blue light means that the iron is completely off. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I've had it for a while and it gets really freaking hot so careful what temperature its set.

My red light stays on all the time; it seems to just indicate that the iron is plugged in to a powered outlet. The backlight on the display is the indication on the on/off status of the iron. I have not notice Jamie's problem with the iron shutting off after 10 minutes - but admittedly I do not iron more that a couple of items at a time. Seems like you could turn it back on just by pressing the button under the display rather than unplugging and plugging.

It doesn't have any kind of switch. You just plug and unplug to use. I don't know if there is a built in emergency shut off like you get on irons, but I really doubt it. I haven't used it a lot, but it has never shut off on me. Karen K

That happened to me when I first started using the iron. I find that if I turn it to Off for just a few seconds and turn it on again, it works properly and consistently. The longer I use it, the better I like it.

Yes, the auto shut off works, but I don't believe it completely turns the iron off. I love this iron and am highly satisfied with my purchase. My clothes look better already!

I don't know! I think it goes off automatically after sitting for a while, but I don't know of a button to do it.

There's a button. You have to turn it off and on I believe never left it on long enough to see if it turns off automatically. But pretty sure you have to do it yourself

I have yet to see if does auto turn off. I have had this for some time honestly not the best straightener out there (doesn't get hot enough)

No, it does not have a auto shut off. It's still a great iron for traveling. Hope this helps!

didn't keep mine long enough to have problems. Bought my at a local store and took it back the next week. I now have a Rowenta that doesn't have the auto off feature. I'm a quilter and want the iron hot when I need to use it. Here is a previous comment I made on this iron: I'm sorry I bought this iron. It has auto shutoff which I don't like but have gotten used to since all irons are like that. My major beef with this is after is shuts off and you move it to start it again you have to move it to the setting you want. It doesn't return to the setting you had before. I don't turn my irons off, when I'm done I unplug them and when I plug them back it to use again, you have to reset the setting. Shouldn't have to constantly reset it.

I have this iron, when I have it on, it will stay on as long as I need it. It has never shut off while I was using it. Hope this helps.

In the instruction booklet on page 5, it explains the "Automatic electronic 3-position shut-off" Bottom line is if you leave it on its heel plugged in, the light will flash after 8 minutes then shut off. I tried it and it worked. If the iron is moved again, it starts reheating. My advice pull the plug like I do.

When you first plug it in it will not heat up unless you actually press the button(s) selecting which fabric/temperature you will be pressing. If you are idle for a while and the iron is not being used then the iron shuts itself off. I have only had this iron two months and it is already malfunctioning - while I am ironing/pressing, it will shut itself off and I have to re-press the button selection to get it going again. I am looking into buying an iron with a separate water resevoir so I can have continuous steam while pressing.

On the lower right hand back corner there is an on/off switch that I use when I'm not needing hot water. You can also scroll through on the menu at " set time" and the "off" option will come up.

It does not shut off automatically-it can be on all day. I would NOT recommend a gravity feed iron. I had a nightmare of a time with it spitting brown stuff all over the fabric every time I used it. I tried everything and now have given up. I am now using the professional model Rowenta.
