No drip system (certain models only) Your iron is fitted with a no drip system which is designed to prevent water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold. During use, the no drip system may emit a loud click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly. Auto shut-off (certain models only) If your iron is fitted with the auto shut-off function, it will automatically shut down after a set period. If the iron is left unattended in the horizontal position, it will shut down after 1 minute. If it is left in the vertical position, it will shut down after 8 minutes. When this happens, the two ‘power on’ lights, situated in the back cover „, will flash to show that the iron is in power-off mode. To reactivate the iron, gently shake it until the ‘power on’ lights „ stop flashing and remain on. The iron will then start to heat back up to the temperature it is set to. Life long anti-scale system (certain models only) The life long anti-scale system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.
