If my iron didn't have automatic cutoff I would be doomed. Gotta love those Rowenta irons.<br /><br />Karen can you show us what the rest of the pkg. says on the back of that foot cord. It is barely visible and hubby being an electrical contractor wanted to read it. I don't understand the pkg. the way it is worded with higher watts in one place and lower in the other. I was just wondering if it is worth me going in the attic to the xmas boxes for my foot control.Thanks so much.Elsienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-88137067971622623962011-04-05T20:25:11.742-04:002011-04-05T20:25:11.742-04:00Good evening, Karen,
