I have the same problem. The iron shuts off every ten minutes and then stops heating. Then, water starts leaking from the steam holes . I unplugged and replugged the iron cord so the heating cycle would start again. This is very excruciating. I bought a cheaper iron that does not have an auto shut off feature,

Does this iron shut off every 10 minutes? If so, to turn the iron back on, do I just hit the "on" button?

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.

You push the button to turn it on and it automatically will go off in an hour. You can shut off your travel iron manually too. This is good as a backup in case you forget. :)

There is no on-off button on mine. You have to unplug the iron when you want it off, and that is somewhat inconvenient.

I was in JoAnn's the other day and they had this one. Rowenta DX8900 Professional Iron with No Auto Shut-Off

amazon sent me your question but i do not have this model of iron. my iron is a less costly model and it has no automatic shut off. if you still need the answer i suggest looking on google for the Reliable phone number in Canada and they will answer any question. i did talk to them once about a repair problem.

I am a quilter & had a iron I loved for 20 yrs. finally gave up the ship as they say. I got same make in a very exspensive iron and it didn't last 6 months. #^#%#^#! So I bought this iron and also the Black & Decker Digital Advantage 3081494 because me without an iron is a catastrophe. I have used both and LOVE them. I use the model you are inquiring about strictly as a dry iron and it gets plenty hot. Besides its cute and just like Mom used to have. Karan M.

This means that the auto shut-off function can be bypassed. Instead of shutting off at some set time when the iron is not being moved and used, the iron will stay on and steam will be generated at any time. My wife likes this because sometimes she takes longer to sew quilt pieces together and the other steam irons she has will shut down and not be ready to steam-iron seams.

I didn't see anything in the instructions that said I had to wait for the iron to cool. I retract it just after shut off and have not had any problems. I have used this iron over a dozen times and it is working great. No problems with cord storage hot or cooled.

No this iron will continue to be hot until you unplug it. Hope this helps &#9786;

It's been some time since I purchased this iron and I can't remember if it had an automatic shut off or not.

I ordered this because they say here it does not auto off but when it came it says it does in 2 hours and I tried it and it does turn off in 2 hours. What is up? I am going to try disabling it.

You may have intended to send this question to another reviewer. As I stated in my review, this iron worked very good for me for about a year. Suddenly it just stopped heating. The light came on, but the soleplate would not heat. As a result, I just threw the iron away and purchased another brand...so I don't have the iron to look at to answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

I just saw your question. I didn't have this flat iron very long as I gave it as a gift to someone. I do not remember it having an automatic shut off.

I don't know the answer through usage experience of the iron. However I researched the instruction manual and this model does not include an automatic shut off feature.

I have used all of the different attachments while lighting on low with only one click. I have used my iron for over 100 hours now and it still always lights on the first try.

I bought the second iron after the first one stopped working. It only lasted about 6 mos. I tried to contact Contintental but I never received and answer. I like the iron but they just dont last very long.

Hello: Three-Way Auto Shut-Off Remembers to Turn Off the Iron When You Don'tNo more trips back home to see if you left the iron on. Our mercury-free electronic sensor automatically shuts off the iron after 10 minutes if it is left in the upright position. The iron will also turn off after 60 seconds if it is tipped over on its side or left unmoved on the soleplate.Thank You!!
