Is there any way to prevent the auto shut-off??

No, while it's annoying, it's a safety feature. My husband just keeps it hot all day by doing this: after it's been on for an hour and a half or so (anywhere shy of the 2 hr shut-off time), he turns the coffeemaker off to reset the timer and then immediately turns it back on to keep the coffee warm for another 2 hours. So if we're heading to church on Sunday morning, we turn it off and back on just before we go so it's still hot when we get home. This is the only way around the shut-off feature.

Not that we have found.My husband turns the pot off early and just uses the microwave.

There is not an automatic shut-off on this unit. I have used multiple penguins for several years and have not encountered that problem. Sounds like a short or some sort of internal problem, not likely something you can do anything about yourself. If it were me, I would return the faulty unit and ask for a replacement.

No auto shut-off but draws very little power when not in operation.I leave mine on all the time.

There is not a switch to disable the auto-off feature. 20 seconds is plenty of time for mine to run and you can press it again right after if you are processing a whole chicken or some such.

Go to 'settings'. 3rd down you will see 'TIMERS' which sets 'auto off' and 'sleep timer' :))

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.

The only way to turn it off is to unplug it. It's low heat so I leave mine plugged in all day.

Really. It should turn off by itself. Best to contact manufacturer. However, I must say this product isn't easy to use.

I first answered "I don't know" however I realized after my first use the batteries were dead. I didn't shut off the player. SO now I can say no there is no auto shut off.

There is a setting for auto start. I don't use that option, so can't speak to how well it works. I use the manual start/stop option.

No. Nothing shuts off automatically. Everything has to be attended, but it is a great machine.

Hi Michael, auto power off feature of the Sony Portable Speakers cannot be disabled. -Vincent

Unfortunately, no. I have accidentally left mine on for long periods of time and luckily have had no steam/burning/problems; but I sure do wish there was an auto shut-off for safety!

I haven't found a way to override the auto shut-off either, but love this little light anyway.

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

I don't believe you can disable the auto-off feature. I rarely find that I am turning it on for additional time and most often I turn it off manually by pressing the button a second time.

Haven't used it yet, but it is advertised as a "stay on" unit, no auto-off. Hope this helps
