•Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator. Store the electrical cord in its storage place – fig.21.

•Raise the retaining hoop over the iron until it locks into place (audible click) – fig.2.

•Your iron is then safely retained on its base. Warning: do not touch the soleplate while still hot.

•Slot the extension cord outlet in the notch (depending on model). Take the end of the cord support and press to return the flexible part into the base.
