Auto Shut-Off Feature

For safety and energy saving, the Philips Azur 8000 Series Steam Iron is equipped with an automatic shut-off function.

The iron will automatically switch off if it is left inactive for a specific period:

• 2 Minutes: If the iron is left stationary in an upright position (on its heel) or lying flat on the soleplate. ⏱️ (Timer icon representing 2 minutes)
• 8 Minutes: If the iron is left stationary on its side or tilted. ⏱️ (Timer icon representing 8 minutes)

The auto shut-off indicator light will flash when the feature is activated, and the iron will cool down. To resume ironing, simply move the iron.
