•If the steam trigger is not pressed for at least 8 minutes, the “auto off” system will cut off your generator for your safety.

•Place the iron on the iron rest of the generator.

•Press the illuminated on/off switch and unplug the generator.

•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.
