What must one do to turn this iron off manually? Is there a switch? Or must one unplug it?

The iron was a gift so I don't use it but I think there's an off on dial under the handle.Hope this helped!

You turn the dial on top of the iron (under the handle) to set the proper temperature and to turn it off. I've really enjoyed this iron.

It has 3 way shut-off. If the iron is left unattended on its soleplate (flat), it turns off after 30 seconds. If it is left unattended on the heel (vertical), it turns off after 8 minutes. To turn back on, just begin to iron again.

I just leave mine on. There really is no on/off switch... so you would have to unplug it. Had mine more than a year....still working great. Hope this helps you.

My red light stays on all the time; it seems to just indicate that the iron is plugged in to a powered outlet. The backlight on the display is the indication on the on/off status of the iron. I have not notice Jamie's problem with the iron shutting off after 10 minutes - but admittedly I do not iron more that a couple of items at a time. Seems like you could turn it back on just by pressing the button under the display rather than unplugging and plugging.

No, it does not have a auto shut off. It's still a great iron for traveling. Hope this helps!

Turn it off manually, but this item works great, best $36 I have ever spent!!!

Both work with steam off . . .and have the option to turn off the annoying auto-shutoff which kicks in after idle for 8 minutes.I'm convinced, after replacing my household irons every year or so, that people who sew, are experiencing much shorter lived irons specifically because of the auto-shutoff. Think about it . . .they heat, they cool, they heat, they cool, all day long, every day they're used. That can't possibly be good for irons.

There is no way to disable it without unplugging it because there is no button for it. I would'nt leave it plugged in 24/7 anyways because it could be hazardous. so I think thats your best option. Or try reading the manual to see if it says anything just in case.

Via the dial. The dial turned counter clockwise (as far as it will go) is "off" but the iron will still be lit as Mary B mentioned & will turn off automatically.

That happened to me when I first started using the iron. I find that if I turn it to Off for just a few seconds and turn it on again, it works properly and consistently. The longer I use it, the better I like it.

When you first plug it in it will not heat up unless you actually press the button(s) selecting which fabric/temperature you will be pressing. If you are idle for a while and the iron is not being used then the iron shuts itself off. I have only had this iron two months and it is already malfunctioning - while I am ironing/pressing, it will shut itself off and I have to re-press the button selection to get it going again. I am looking into buying an iron with a separate water resevoir so I can have continuous steam while pressing.

The only way to turn it off is to unplug it. It's low heat so I leave mine plugged in all day.

Yes. It automatically shuts off if set horizontal for 15 seconds without movement. To bypass auto shut-off just set upright when not in use. If it sets in it's cradle longer than 30 min. It will shut off. I just got mine and it is wonderful! I am a sewer and I wanted an iron that would not shut off when I am in the middle of up and down sewing...when I tested the auto shut-off after 15 seconds, all I had to do was give it a nudge and it came right back on. Hope this helps with your question.

It's automatic. As soon as you unplug it the unit stays hot for one hour. There is no on off switch

Nope I left it on or a while after 50 minutes it was still on I unplugged it. That's what u have to do so u can be sure n remember u turned it off UNPLUG IT I personally think it should shut off after ten minutes of not using it. Now there where several of this type n color flat iron for different prices on amazon so I don't know if the others have automatic shut off they all looked the same to me

The unit itself must be hard wired. It does not have a plug coming out of it that can be plugged into a wall outlet. Once hard wired you can use the outlet in the unit to plug your iron in to which is a timer outlet. The light in the unit does not plug in. The light has a switch.

It doesn't have any kind of switch. You just plug and unplug to use. I don't know if there is a built in emergency shut off like you get on irons, but I really doubt it. I haven't used it a lot, but it has never shut off on me. Karen K
