A light is blinking blue or white on your Philips Steam Generator Iron:
If your steam generator iron is switched on and the blue/white power light or the LED light on the handle is blinking but the soleplate stays cold, your steam generator iron might be in auto shut-off mode.
When your iron has not been used for 5 to 10 minutes, it enters the auto shut-off mode. To use it again, please press the on/off button.
The heating up light is flashing on your Philips Steam Iron:
If your steam iron is left unused horizontally for more than 30 seconds or vertically (heel rest) for more than 8 minutes, it switches off automatically for safety reasons.
When this happens, the heating-up light flashes. Move the iron to turn it on and it will start heating.
No light is blinking (only applicable to STH2050):
When using the handheld steam iron in the same mode continuously for 12 minutes, it will stop working automatically. Please press any button to trigger the steam iron to work again.
