    Unplugging an iron

    If you turn your iron off, do you have to unplug when you are done?

    I recently bought a three plug adapter to plug into the outlet....and this has an on/off switch. When finished just turn the adapter off and everything will be disconnected.

    Same here! Don't want a fire or problem with an electrical surge.

    You need to remember that electricity is coming thru that cord to the machine or iron or anything, always from the plug in. If the iron misfires, you may have a fire. Now you guys, tell me this is right! Barny
