against the Ironing Board for more than 10 seconds. Heater functionality is restored
when the Pressing Plate is lifted back up.

without use for approximately 15 minutes (signaled by a beeping sound for
approximately 22 seconds).After the beeping sound has stopped, the heating ability of
the unit can only be restored by pressing the Temperature Control Buttons.

off. Power is always on, and the power indicator light will remain illuminated
until On / Off switch is set to “Off”position.
