To disable the power saver mode, press the lit "Power Saver (On/Off)" button. The "Power Saver (On/Off)" button will be unlit and the Power Saver mode is off.

1.8.2Automatic Power Saver Mode
Even when the "Power Saver (On/Off)" button is not pressed, the machine will automatically switch to a waiting mode if it is left switched on without being used for a certain period of time. This is called the Auto Power Saver mode which consists of the following two modes:
¥Low Power Mode: the state where the temperature of the heater is lowered.
¥Sleep Mode: the state where the power of the heater is off and power can be saved most.
The machine will automatically enter the Low Power Mode after a certain period of time and then switch to the Sleep mode after another lapse of time. During these two modes, the display will become completely black and the Power Saver (On/Off) button lit.
Once the lit "Power Saver (On/Off)" button is pressed, it will become unlit and the power saver mode will be disabled.
